Really is.
Couldve been jose managing us tonight, doubt it'd have panned out differently.
Absolutely zero pace, it's depressing as fuck.
Heyho No sunday matches next season ! (hopefully, fingers crossed the F.a cup final doesnt jew us over)

Rafa would have won us this game. With the same squad including injuries.
There I said it.
Plus:
Not bringing on Pacheco is a fucking horrendous decision.

yep.
too concerned with giving away an away goal even when we had nothing to lose.
also in the final few minutes we definately could have taken off wilson and brought on patches and gambled.
cautious home and away

I said after his first few cameos during Rafa's last season that he may not be as good as we all thought - I was obviously hounded.
The fact Kenny, who's given a ton of kids a chance, isn't giving him sub appearances is rather telling. Maybe there's a reason, but I don't see him here next year.
Oh - Liam is spot on. Shit tactics.

regardless of how poor a squad is, there is no excuse for an inability to string 3 passes together...at HOME

Gambling. We had nothing to loose. Why not bring him on?
Has he really been given enough chances to deem him as shit?
This lad won the U20 European championships golden boot last year.
Agree about the tactics...too cautious.
Only a Sunderland win in the weekend can up my spirits now. But I doubt it'll happen.

Yes. Glad I'm not the only one to notice that.
Someone needs to explain...

Kenny is not delivering in Europe and this is a concern. Might be just a phase. Hodgson's record in Europe is more impressive, and he might have won this. Can't believe I just said that.
I didn't want to make the Europa, but now we're out it feels brutal. I hope NESV buy big this summer. Otherwise, we'll be in for another dark spell..

The tactics have been dire in a few games, no one has the bollocks to mention it tho.
That said, yeah, the squad is wank. Tell me something I didn't know 12 months ago.

It's a line from Southpark, I don't think HC is deliberately trying to insult an entire religion, he is just being stupid.

It's a shame Suarez was ineligible. Braga were playing an incredibly high defensive line and if we had any player with real pace on the pitch we could have seriously buggered up their offside trap . . . . provided the officials didn't flag for offside anyway, as they seemed to have a very sketchy grasp of the rules of football.
Gonzalez and Cole hardly contributed anything, so it is not surprising we created few chances. We improved when N'Gog and Spearing came on.

Gonzalez was terrible. I can barely recall hearing his name.
Jew over! You sir, are worse than Hitler.

😀 Exactly.
Strangely the majority of posters at the start of the match thread were confident and saying they were impressed with the team bought out. We knew that we two of our greatest goal threats were unable to play for different reasons but what hurt us on the night was that one of the few remaining threats - Ming - had a very poor night.
Sure, we were sadly lacking in pace but, apart from a bright opening 15 minutes we looked much to cautious. It was Rafa at his best and no, he'd have failed dismally to get us through. In fact I would expect we'd have lost again under Rafa for this game because tactics would have been pretty similar but the players not interested.
I'm lost as to why we didn't try and inject a little bit of spice late on in the game when it was clear we were heading out the door. We had begun to look very stale by 70 minutes and we had one approach only; kick it up to the big guy.
Kuyt had a very forgetable match, Cole - after a very bright begining - either faded or lost interest, Ming was terribly off colour, Maxi was a no show and Carroll, despite all his effort, couldn't do it alone.
Johnson, Carra, Pepe and Lucas were the only ones besides Carroll who really performed.

carra? I thought carra was one of the main reasons we couldn't build any momentum. I don't think I've ever seen a centre back send so many long balls in a single game.
