    Am I right in thinking that we were the first English team to ever have been beaten by a Czech team, and now by an Israeli team?

    Embarrassing. Let's not bother with Europe anymore then.

    To be fair to Redmond, he has made himself look **** as he is the only one who has got himself forward and beaten players, then messed up every final ball. At least he showed some intent.

    Don't score goals, don't win games.

    Biggest game of the season and a performance of utter dross. Even the most positive of posters can't defend this shambles.

    We haven't deserved to win but then neither have they.

    Life was simpler in the Championship :(

    I'd quite like to see Sims, Boufal and Tadic play behind Austin at some point. Don't see it happening though.

    Not Puel's fault. Do you think he sent them out with last minute tactics, "Make sure your crossing is rubbish and don't, whatever you do, get a shot on target".

    Assuming we don't find two goals and this ends our European campaign: now that we no longer have as many games, can we please play a more aggressive and expansive game?

    Really poor, competing on 3 fronts and doing well in only one, the EFL cup. Just haven't bought enough quality to compete in Europe and PL.

    I am so glad i didn't travel for the game. Thought shopping in Meadowhell was bad, watching this ****e, negative insipid play is worse.

    First israeli club to win in UK, well done to them

    to think how hard everyone worked for this last season and now see us throw it all away in this manner.

    On the plus side we can actually focus on the League now.

    To be fair though, that might not be what he asked for, but the result has been the same regards the quality of both of those things for a reasonable period of time now, yet nothing changes.

    How we are not in a relegation battle is beyond belief.

    Puel can be added to the ever increasing list of dross French coaches to grace the premier league.

    No, but we showed no intent to make the game ours. We should have come out and bossed it. We were at home. We're the better team. They couldn't play for nil nil - everything about that put us in the driving seat. But our tactics put us on the backfoot without any intent.

    No but he set them up so that attacking play was less likely, this has been a holding exercise and we blew it.

    This is worse than midget land. Awful performance and quite frankly with Austin out I'm struggling to get up for any games in the future.
