Two out of eleven potentially weren't match fit. I'm not slagging off Bale's performance because of his lack of game time, but the others don't get that exemption for me.
If after a year and £15m in wages he has only just figured something that important out we are fucked.
I didn’t watch the game so can make no comment on tonight’s performance but he’s watched those players train for a year now.
I’m hopeful he’s a better judge of a player than you credit him with.
Curling is tough, highly tactical. I wouldn't know when to apply the broom thing would you?
... and Davies, and Bergwign, and Dier, and Gedson, and Lucas, and Dele and ... (take your pick depending on preference of: Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Doherty, Aurier,)
Great squad depth though!
Well what a complete fuck up - if we were going to put in that little effort why bring on Son, Kane, Hojbjerg and not give them invaluable rest time.
I'd like to apply the broom thing to a few of our players tonight.
Hah, what an amusingly astute analogy for poor statistical inference. Excellent.
Nope. Should have been three up against Newcastle and ground out a draw with Everton.
Plovdiv? Burnley? Will we underestimate Brighton at the weekend?
You're right. Another easy sport than. Marathon.
We SHOULD still go through our group (if we want to) but a defeat is a defeat... and it's annoying.... as it'll ask questions of players who COULD'VE done themselves a favour tonight.... but as it is, narrows Jose's decision making as to who SHOULD and who shouldn't be part of our 1st team....
I think he's scaled it down tonight significantly!!

Agreed, I felt he shouldn't have changed it at half time, should have told the players on the pitch that was not acceptable and got them to get us out of the pickle as it was them that put us in it.
Felt very panicky going straight to the likes of Son.
.. can't be bothered to trawl back through this thread. Can you re-post them so we can have a good laugh at you?
We need something to laugh at after that performance.
Try the Woolwich match? Pepe has been hilarious so far.
Totally unacceptable performance from everyone. Just shows that complacency is still a massive issue with this team as Antwerp just wanted it so much more than us today. Passing sloppy, pressing nonexistent, no urgency.
81% of our goals conceded from this season have been individual errors and set pieces, do you understand how bad that is?

Of course, I meant that. We need all those shiny long hair to get those noodle sponsor
Don't mess with/in the pants.... and they won't mess with you!
