I think having Konsa at right back hindered us enormously going forward in the second half, he was effectively not an overlap at all.

Good point. His lack of skill on the ball was exposed.

[El Zen]

I hate watching us play football. Boring, uninspiring crap.

I count 5. Finished the game with second choice RB at left back and centre half at RB. A lot of injuries at the back. 

Why not change the system then to mitigate the lack of fit fullback's? 

[Herman22]

So after that we are down to our third choice left back, third choice right back and third choice centre back! 

Also our starting defensive mid is out too.

No, he's not. Unbeaten in three.

I fear you are right. We will continue this horror show most likely to the WC break.

The performance today was terrible, and it not a one off, we have been this bad all seasons.

I so wish to see our players under a good manager, to see what they really are capable of.

We're two points off the top half.

We'll continue being two points off top half as we simply won't win these type of games enough over the season.

Archer, Archer, Archer.

How many f@cking times.

Ramsey MOM.

Buendia next. He makes things happen. He spurs the team on.

Martinez and Mings also excellent.

Coutinho, Young and McGinn should be on the bench.

NSWE. Do something. 

Don't expect Gerrard to ever play the youngsters. He has no confidence in them and will never play them. It's so disappointing.

We have a poor team. Shocking game to watch. 

We still look poor even without injures to be fair

Sorry mate but this just is not true.  We created several excellent chances in the second half.  Today's result is on one player.  He let the rest of the team down big time today.  Would I have kept him on the pitch - no.  But Young, Dougie, Coutts and Emi2 created plenty of quality moments.

Nope, not having that.  Yes Watkins had a mare but other players didn’t do their part, why haven’t they scored or created for another player other than Watkins.  A player is always likely to have a bad game and I’m no fan of Watkins but this is a team poor game today and Gerrard manages how we play, it wasn’t enough today.  

The quality was poor, the urgency wasn’t there and we are lost, we don’t have a pattern of play and most of our players are off form, that’s a coaching problem.

[BigJim]

Sure we should have put the game to bed in the second half when we actually played some decent stuff in patches.

But if we're honest we have to be grateful for the sending-off -  no way we were coming away with anything at all otherwise.

[gatecrasha]

Think it is accurate to say we are the worse team in the premiership to watch.. I don't think I've watched a more boring team this season.   It a combination of the worst of Bruceball/ Pulis anti football slop

[ChicagoVillan1983]

And that's my breaking point. I'm done. Toast. Finito. I always want to be a voice of reason, and having been talking my dad and my best buddy off a cliff for weeks. But I can't any more...

GERRARD OUT!

[sne]

Early days into this exciting new pragmatic football but it seems to mean Martinez hoofing it and that's about it.

There was plenty of intent. Just not the ability to turn intent into product. How many poor first touches, mishit crosses, passes and shots. We had enough chances to win. Our technically poor players messed them all up. Ollie Watkins is not good enough. He needs to take his effort and industriousness somewhere else. He can't finish. It's killing us.

So why wasn't Watkins subbed then?

[bielesibub]

f**k me! Watkins would be dangerous if he knew how to pass the ball.

Aston Villa don't use subs.

I know SG will get the blame for a lot of that and I can see why,  but if Ollie  is on it today or we have a top class striker ( and in not including Ings as that as the moment) we win that comfortably 

Like Ings? Who was left on the bench for 82 minutes
