Embarrassing.

It's unbelievable how fragile, soft and passive this team is.

If you love the club you resign tonight Dean.

Perhaps. Are you totally excusing the players?

[sidcow]

At the end of the day we are playing a team who are massively superior to us anyway, worth what? A billion? 

You really don't need a penalty to be awarded which is not in a million years a penalty and a goal to be scored in the 5th minute of 4 minutes of injury time (I note that full time was blown 2 seconds over even though we had the ball on the wing). 

We just have to find a way of getting a couple of wins and take it to do or die against West Ham. 

The problem is there are no goals anywhere. Our most influential players are influencing nothing and our defence is looking shambolic. 

We've had a horrible run of games and often looked like we are competing. I mean seriously we were the better team till we was robbed guvnor. 

BUT I'm sick of "if we can do that against a lesser team we'll be fine" it just NEVER HAPPENS. Any other team would say there were positives out there today but our positives always stay in the last game.

I'd be much happier if Luiz stayed instead of McGinn

He did

Just angry!

A penalty was given against us wrongly and that is so bad I cant explain but what I'm angry about is that our players gave up completely straight after that......no fight, no interest, no nothing!  The easiest game Man Utd will ever have tonight right after the penalty.  Man Utd are really on form but they were basically in 3rd or 4th gear.

Yes I blame Smith but tonight I'm furious at the players.  Jack the captain has been missing for the six games since the restart, I bet Man Utd were looking at him tonight and questioning any interest in him.  McGinn looks unfit and struggling to pass.  Mings, for an England central defender was poor, standing off players far too much.  Samatta and Davis were a joke, how people think Davis is a PL striker I'll never know.  I can go on and on but I'm too angry!

Can anyone tell me why Taylor moved to right back and Konsa to left back?

[OLDVILLAIN]

Having flashbacks to when we went down last time..no passion,desire or direction...only 2 players in that whole team deserved to wear the shirt tonight.Smith needs to resign and bring the whole backroom/hierarchy with him

agreed with that, I'd rather just slide him back central and put an actual RB out there. 

When we fleece Mings to Arsenal, I think Konsa and Hause will be a good pairing for us next season

The players mirror him.

Since the Sherwood/Garde escapade, I actually thought it would be impossible to reach that shitness level of embarrassment ever again!.. How fcukin wrong!.. 

But even under Sherwood the team tried, The only tactic was give it to Benteke, but at least they tried 

[Sulberto21]

They took the piss out of us in the second half. Me and my mates were taken the piss out of once against vastly superior talented players. They didn't take the piss out of us in the second half because we kicked them pillar to post. Never happened to us again in the 17th tier of English football. We might be awful at football but we can compete. Shame our Aston Villa can't say the same.

[chrisvilla4]

Can all the players have 'meh' on the back of their shirts? 

[the_eristic]

Start well, give up a cheap (in this case, free, thanks to **** officiating and **** VAR yet again) goal, heads drop and we're done. I'm not necessarily anti-Smith but when a club is constantly drifting on the horizon of a confidence black hole, you *have* to make a change.

[ciggiesnbeer]

The only card we have left is to change the manager. Lets play that card. 

[M_Afro]

Who voted for Reina? I’ve seen snails move quicker!

[sheepyvillian]

I was going to say " what a nightmare", but nightmares are fiction, this debacle, sadly isn't.

Maybe but they are have something to answer themselves tonight.  That wasnt solely Smith's fault, much of tonights blame should be on the players.

[Bizzzle]

Absolute dog shit! We are a championship team at best

Been saying this since the transfer window shut 

[PaddytheVillan]

A really horrible performance.  Who is to blame for that psychology - go one down and give up? Yeah it was unfair but we are not mathematically down, so go for it! 

Conor, Taylor, Trezeguet and Luiz showed fight at least. I'm sick of our "best" players McGinn, Mings and of course Jack giving up every game. 

Disgusted to see us go down with a whimper. Palace will smash us.
