Les has been torn a new tuchus

Great, raking cross-field ball for our opener.

Guess they don't speak like that in yokel country.

Claude made the game from his sickbed.

Thought you were taking a week off pal? #crushingbore

Cuco had a v.good game.

Failing that would you rather united or the scousers? Seems like Klopp has been rotating more than mourinho. But I'd rather face a full-strength united than liverpool side.

Come down from your Alpine-fuelled sugar binge?

Makes up for the travesty of the league result. Should have had 4 or 5. Hull pretty please.

Fantastic move

played cuco

garbage

WOuld get another midfielder on.

Let's not f**k this up. We've been well on top.

So much for the days when people were claiming cedric was better than clyne

Good result after a disappointing performance midweek.

I guess you didn't go on Thursday. I guess you don't go to many games full stop. When, if ever, has our support booed the team during a game?

Are some of your best friends Jewish too Les? Must admit I find it opportunistic and morally dubious that you express your position by juxtaposing your alleged admiration for the Jewish people with your antipathy for Arabs. You don't do yourself any favours.

Likewise Romeu has started most games. No coincidence that he and VVD have been our best players this season. Possibly Puel doesn't believe there's much to choose in terms of quality between the rest of the squad.

I stayed silent as the performance drained me of energy, though I had no problems with others booing (and I usually do). No doubt if we had played as we did at the San Siro, the reaction would have been different. Those who booed didn't strike as the types who usually boo or ones with inflated expectations. But the performance was dire -and it could well be our last European trip for years. It really isn't enjoyable watching us play at the moment. I did react when Long didn't his little gesture. He styles himself as a fan's player -why he comes to us without fail after games. However, his reaction showed up how conditional that relationship is as if we're meant to behave like fawning lapdogs. I thought it was complacent and petulant.

There's much of a muchness about our side. With the exception of two or three players, it's hard to claim that rotating players leads to a significant drop off in quality (continuity is another matter). You could effectively pick the midfield by drawing lots. The glass half full interpretation is that we have strength in depth; the less charitable spin is that we have accumulated quite a bit of mediocrity.

It's a myth that he plays as an out-and-out striker. More often than not, Redmond collects the ball in wide positions and has the opportunity to run at fullbacks (which should be his strengths). Too many people obsessing about presumed formations and not actually watching games.

A lot of booing from our support at the end.
