Well, all things considered. That was absolutely pathetic and gutless.
Tactics completely wrong, no hindsight about it, us playing out and out defensive doesn't work. Man city last year was a fluke, chelsea were all over the shop with the conte fiasco, but we also had our lives at stake.
Today without that hanging over us, we flopped and flailed around like a fish out of water. It was truly a pathetic sight. Not one person on the pitch or on the bench can come away with any shred of dignity. Players and coaches alike. The fans who went should be reimbursed by those that played today at the very least, yes its not millions of miles away, but people still paid hard earned money to support the side against all odds. We were never likely to win, sky had it at 8% but we didnt even fight. We lost 5-1 as a championship side there against aguero et al with our reserves and still put up more of a fight.
Think from today all the players have to look at whether what they did today was acceptable, did they do their best, was that of the standard expected or set by everyone around the club, the answer I feel and hope is no.
Dw and the coaches also have to look at everything too, question whether its the right way to go about things, the players looked like strangers, the first goal was a pure embarrassment, the staff have to question the tactics because today showed parking the bus like that and being so negative has poorer results than trying to test the opposition. We go into games against the bigger sides already defeated even though we talk of fighting for everything. Talk is cheap.
Anyways onto next weekend. We should hopefully try to play a better version of Huddersfield town football.
