    Why don’t we get players sent off when we play the relegation teams? Always a top 6 team. Knew this one was a defeat before the game but the mental toll is worrying for the team. Can’t even blame the ref, var or the weather.

    The team were shell shocked. It's not great by any means but we're down to bare bones, playing with 10 men against one of the best teams in the league. We bounced back from the 9-0 (and in style) and we'll bounce back from this. We've just got to grit our teeth and bare it tonight.

    I'm ****ing livid.

    The only positive I can think of is that our fans haven't wasted the time and money to watch this ****-show.

    Thing is, we almost never do backs to the wall defending, so now we're forced into it, we're not very good at it.

    If I was Ralph I'd be telling them to press just inside our half.

    Mike Dean looked utterly excited to hand out that red card, and point to the penalty spot.

    Twat.

    That tackle just gets worse every time you look at it.

    Not sure i agree - we had back to the wall pretty much with 11 players v Liverpool and we won 1-0. It wasnt like Pool had 10 players ahead of the ball.

    He knows for certain the cameras are on him.


    I imagine he enjoys when it goes to VAR and he could be on screen touching his own ear for 2 minutes

    City in July was more backs to the wall. We can do it in the right scenario.

    Have you called the police to report the attempted murder yet?

    Which one, he’s done a few. Done OK to be fair, considering he’s not got much help fromDjenepo.

    4-0 at half-time.
    If the worse comes to worst does anyone think Ralph will walk away?

    We don't know yet - he might have found a really good hiding place in the changing rooms and Ralph's still looking for him

    Maybe so, but they are professionals, and they should be able to keep more shape. I’m not saying Ralph should go, far far far from it, but he doesn’t need to intervene and direct from the sidelines, and v Lei and tonight, he just looks like he is watching Nightmare on elm street as a 7 year old boy.
