Selection Fab .. ok Rnagel .. fair enough Amat .. hardy played Bartley .. hardly played Tiendalli .. hardly played Jonjo .. hardly played Carroll .. fair enough Dyer . in and out of the team Barrow .. hardly played Gomis .. not much time but has been poor when he has played Siggy .. ok Fed .. ok Montero .. hardly played Oliviera .. hardly played What excuse will Monk come out with this time?
Insult to injury Sig gets a straight red. So 3 games from him. You couldn't make up how absolutely abismal this has been today and the carry forwards will be costly.
Well that sums it up - a very bad day at the office -we didn't deserve anything from that game. Regardless of the sending off our passing was crap and we had zero commitment out there.
Bob .... it's got nothing to do with the coach ... it;s bad attitude on the players part. So sayeth the Monkster, so sayeth us all.
Tell me what about it was worthy of a red? Studs up? Scissor challenge? Dangerous? It was frustration, it was late, it was stupid, but never a bloody red card.
Dare I say it, but that performance summed up a squad confused and lacking in faith of a gameplan. Losing the dressing room perhaps even?
Agree. No good at all. All this 'we are 9th bull' is papering over the cracks. We are 10 points off relegation and playing terribly. No shape, passion and our identity has gone. Monk has to go. If he doesn't this will end badly. Pissed off!
Tackle from behind after the player passed the ball taking him out = red. I said so before ref showed it. Pretty obvious.
Very lacklustre performance. Shelvey should have gone off, not Carrol but Monk bottled it. Poor selection/subs again. We are definitley going to drop into the bottom half of the table now, just a matter of when. The Monk experiment was probably worth a shot but the Premier League is no place to learn your trade and it's only becoming more evident as the season goes on.
