    Was a man down tonight.

    He's just not good enough in this system.

    Shame as he played so well in Ange's system.

    Passing was slack first half, gave it away too much.

    Other than that defensively I feel he wasn't really ever tested luckily, can't mind him being taken on once or a ball being played in behind him or nothing.

    So slow. Weak. Slack in possession. Just nowhere near it

    At first, it just looked like the problems were him adapting to the system, and that obviously still plays a part of it.

    Thing is, he's not even doing the basics right, he's giving the ball away almost every time he receives it or getting tackled almost instantly. You can't tell me a change in system is causing him to pass the ball to the opposition multiple times in the same game.

    I really like the guy, and I want him to turn it around, but if he's not even doing the basics right then he's not got much hope.

    Like many others, he can't keep hold of the ball when pressed.

    Its a major issue in our team and has been for years now. We need to sign players who are comfortable on the ball and press resistant. Otherwise we'll always be backs to the wall against European sides because we simply can't keep the * thing.

    Yeah, Feyenoord were pish as well but still better than us at it and the stats and scoreline demonstrate that.

    Under Ange I felt the same btw, albeit it was slightly less noticeable.

    A left back that's struggling to play in a system that requires him to play as a left back.. hmmmm.

    Again I like Taylor and I thought he was great under Ange.. so bad this season so far.

    He's peaked last year I guess, he was never blessed with pace. Hopefully in January he becomes 2nd choice.

    Hes not entirely as bad as people say. He's not bernadai bad... he's been bang average though. He can be improved upon and I expect brendan to get someone else in within time. Although scales has been so immense we may actually have a replacement sitting in as CB right now. A few injurys being over and we shall see.

    Scales looks like he'd be ideal for us on the left of a back three if we ever go that way.

    This game was all about this one single pass to Hatate (frankly - it could've been anyone at the end of it and the outcome would've been identical)
    Obviously not only that:
    great performance overall - especially in the 1'st half when it mattered most.

    Imagine if we didn't have a goal advantage before Hart's sending off....
