Last night was a compete sickener, with a right slap in the face BANG we're back to reality!
Bottom line is and it pains me to admit it is they are better than us - they knew they could park the bus and hit us on the break with the strike force they've got,
We can't do that and when Lukaku came off we brought Naismith on - embarrassing really,
I'm not going to slag Naismith as he's a decent pro and can do a job against lower league sides, but against top teams he doesn't cut the mustard.
After half time Osman walks out, he's been great for us in the past but let's all be honest - his legs have well and truly gone.
Which brings me onto tactics, if your 0-3 down and you need to throw the kitchen sink at them and you turn to your bench looking for someone who's attack minded then there was only Mcgeedy not Osman, why the hell did Martinez leave him sat there till 15 mins to go? What's the point? I wouldn't have blamed Mcgeedy if he'd done a Tevez and told Martinez he's not coming on!
Martinez is supposed to be a great tactician, sorry not last night he wasn't!

Yes I've got a strop on today, I effing hate that RS!

{Ed025's Note - to be honest baz, I thought Ossis was one if not THE best player last night...but like you I'm as sick as a sea going parrot mate..

Osman and mirrallas were the only 2 players who deserved the shirt!

I agree Ed I also think Ossie & Mirallas were by far our best players, we were to loose at the back and I think I'm right saying Jags & Alcaraz haven't played together before competitively so with the players we had available we were always likely to struggle! If we get some of our players back we have a great chance of top six and a good cup run

I'd say Mirallas can be proud and Osman and Barkley (he did as well as he could) can be pretty content with themselves. The rest shouldn't. But yeah, not just slagging off Naismith, as I do so love to do, but he wasn't the right man to come on. Mirallas should have been pushed central and McGeady on the wing. Naismith as Osman were never going to get us back in the game.

Completely agree with everything martinez did last night. If he would of brought mcgeady on at ht, and we got beat 6/7-0 then you would have still had a go. I think ossie is great and everyone needs to get off his back!

I thought ossie did well when he came on, in fact I would have started him as he was fully fit and Pienaar wasnt

Jesus you can't blame ossie for this one ffs it was 3 0 down when he came on
