Apart from that, a pretty decent performance.Well I have seen some shite efforts in 45 years supporting this club but that comes close to the worst. We made a poor to middling leicester side look like Barcelona.
Some reflections from my side:
Dubravka is totally overrated, average premiership keeper at best - like I have been saying since we signed him btw
Krafth - words fail me. I would sack the man that scouted him immediately
Lascelles - as poor as usual, average game for him
Schar - decent footballer - he should leave
Dummett - poor game for the lad
Hayden - deserved to be sent off - a cowards tackle
Longstaff - a shadow of what he was last season - no need to worry about big bids in January.
Almiron - as poor as usual - terrible body language when subbed - straight down the tunnel and ignored by Bruce as he passed him. This kid is not and never will be a premiership footballer.
Atsu - arguably the best of a bad bunch going forward - but wouldn't get a game from any other premiership team.
Joelinton - shite. See Krafth above.
Muto - completely pointless. Surely a piss take by Rafa to sign him.
Carroll - about as potent as Joelinton but he lumbers rather than runs from one bad position to another.
Bruce - has surely lost the dressing room already. needs putting out of his misery.
Funny that, I remember Des Hamilton as a shite midfielder rather than a shite full back, although I suspect he could have been equally poor in either position.That Krafth lad is my favourite sh1te fullback since Des Hamilton
This is all very negative. Can't we give credit where it is due and stress the positives?
When it came to the warm up, the cones were laid out beautifully.
