Luckily for the players the next game is coming around quickly and they have the chance to put right a fairly atrocious 3-0 beating from Watford with a visit to WBA away on Tuesday.
We have Hayden back from suspension but I think Lascelles, Atsu and Dummett will probably remain unavailable.
Would probably look to change things up personally. Go back to the 4-2-3-1 system in which the players looked well organised and tough to beat. Joselu will surely be dropped and I've had enough of Manquillo, so I'd go for a team something like this:
Elliott
Yedlin - Lejeune - Clark - Mbemba
Hayden - Shelvey
Ritchie - Merino - Murphy
Mitrovic
No doubt Rafa will pick something completely different.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
