We were all waiting for the own goal or red card.
Congrats to whoever had headbutting a teammate in the sweepstake.

Call me mad but I thought we were alright. The pitch cut up like crazy, you could see it in the low shots there were big chunks of turf lying about. 4 of the 7 goals were either because of "miscues" or slipping, disappointing it went 3-1 against us. If I'm going to be extra genrous, the freekick for their 4th was a complete dive. We're not great but it was an okay performance away against a quality side without the injury problems we have. And again, the players weren't giving up, it would be easy to hide at 4-0 with 22mins gone but we got one back and hit the post, and the 5th came from a really good chance for us and we still got another back.
I don't think Tudor's the guy, and I think his comments and selection reflect that he wasn't taking this seriously but the team's fighting and we need that if we're going to get some wins before the end of the season.

Just one extreme to another every week! Absolutely gift 3 goals, dodgy free kick and a bit of bad luck on the 4th, should make it 4-2 but ends up 5-1 then two of our best players put themselves possibly out of action for two weeks.
One last chance at giving us a hope of staying up against Forest a week Sunday.

So that’s both VdV and Romero missing the Liverpool game? Along with Palhinha.
Maybe we should focus on the PL after the international break.

Only because it hasn't been mentioned because of the more obvious mistakes, but Sarr's lack of effort in preventing both their first two goals was absolutely disgraceful.
Why? Euro game yellows are separate! Although Liverpool will definitely again try to get Cuti sent off again so it maybe a game for him not to play in
I've come to the conclusion that Levy got a good deal on the stadium loans by agreeing to turn us into a social science experiment that will be used in generations to come to test the limits of human endurance.
I’d give Tudor 4 more games. If you haven’t improved in that time, get rid of him.
Just been lucky enough to catch the extended highlights and all I can say is at least I have the sun and good food to distract me. 
To play the lad in goal was a pretty surprising decision by Tudor for me. A huge pressure match and throw a young lad in who has hardly played? Odd and it backfired dramatically.
Not sure he could do much with the first two but the third?? Wow not even Sunday league levels. Then to take him off was, I think anyway, a decision that simply crucifies what little confidence he had left. Poor man management for me, half time after a chat perhaps, but not then. Just my opinion.
A massive game for my return appearance against Forest. MGW to score the third in the 70th minute to rub it in?
Sad thing is as I went to breakfast on the cruise I have had supporters from Leeds, Villa even bloody Huddersfield coming up and sympathising. How far we have fallen.....

I’ll be booing at them in the stadium
Six figures a week and they don’t give a ****. Oh yes they will be knowing about it every game.
I fully admit that I have wanted Kinsky to have been played, but to drop him in cold last night into a significant CL tie was bizarre to say the least.
The mistakes were tragicomic, but I'm still undecided as to whether the decision to sub him was the right one. It looks as if Romero played a part in it, but what his input was we do not yet know.
Personally, I don't think it was necessary: the game was gone already (arguably before the first whistle) and the only thing it has probably achieved is the end of the lads career.
What it does mean is we are saddled with just Flappicario and another underplayed stand-in for the most important 9 PL games we have ever faced.
Addendum:
After a coffee and a trawl of the post match comments I'm now firmly of the view that the substitution at that point was wrong, whoever made it. The lad has been made a scapegoat - probably by a coach desperate to protect himself.
If I squint really hard through powerful binoculars I can just about see why Tudor was thought to be the right person to follow Frank, but in the 4 weeks or so of his tenure he's shown nothing to suggest that he has the credentials. His demeanour on the training pitch, in the dug out and particularly in interviews is one of a very poor communicator. His team selections and substitutions have ranged from the bizarre to the ridiculous and his lack of man management has been obvious.
We were pretty much doomed before he arrived, so I'm certainly not blaming him for the fact that we are now even more likely to drop. But he had to find a way to at least motivate the players to show some commitment. His manner and his actions have demonstrated that he appears completely unable to do that.
Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, relegated! No survival for us, I fear. Off with his head!!
