Vlad might improve with confidence but let's be honest how many chances came though his decision making?

Shame really as it was a really tough game we had good patches Kane looks a player I thought Ade (who I am a fan of ) could have done better.

Soldado sub killed the game for us. We had our best spell of the match and the game completely changed for the worse when Ade came on.
I don't know why he didn't put on a central defender for Ciriches. That was a bad substitution: I thought it was because he wanted someone as an outlet and to provide more defence, but a central defender would have been better. Two points thrown away.

2 Things out I got out of today's game. Not the only things, just two of them.

1) I have stuck up for Vlad, first year and all that, but he has just put a big nail in his coffin. He needs to seriously wake up and sort his shit out.

2) Dembele is just as annoying at the other end of the pitch, 2 big big chances he had to play the ball forward when we was breaking... he bottled it...

When we make 10 changes from the team that did well at the weekend including every outfield player it shows the manager doesn't care about the Europa. So WTF should we care either ? What do you expect ?

think its time to let Chiriches go... shocking mistake. disappointing... very disappointing and hurtful mistake.

Give Velijovic a chance.
half,.... let Dier play CD in chiriches' spot where he belongs and sort RB out some other way....

The subs were all wrong to be honest.. we just could not take it that did not happen had we won the game... zero impact from all 3 subs... Dembele is really a shade of what he was capable at Fulham, sad to say..

anyway, Ade never changed.. let him rot please, better than negating our numbers on the field..

fuck Vlad. fuck Vlad.. he needs to be shown who's the boss from the real captains in the team from such attitude and performance..

I've never seen a man give himself his own P45, but I've just seen Ciriches do it.

He gave one to himself after the west brom game too never want to see him in our shirt again would much rather a youngster get a game

If we must persist in giving Vlad playing time, swap him and Dier. It's better to have Vlad doing his Benny Hill thing there instead of in the centre of the defence.

He really should have been subbed. It's rare to sub a central defender, but oh my fudging lord, what have I just witnessed.

Got a goal causing mistake in him a game, has Vlad. Look forward to the time we've got another fit right back so Dyer can slot in as 3rd/4th choice centre back.
Dier has to play next to Fazio from now on. I'd rather play Lennon at right back if we're desperate, than allow chiriches on the pitch again.

Would have been a travesty if we had beaten them to be fair. They should have smashed us.

Don't get the Stambouli and Soldado subbings. Ade can barely be bothered with a North Lodon Derby, let alone a Europa match.

Chiriches had an absolute nightmare. Loris superb, Stambouli, Kane, Bentaleb and Townsend all decent (ish)

Slightly worried that Davies looks bang average.

To be fair, I think the plan was to sell both - if Musacchio had come in...
But he didn't and we knew he wasn't going to come.
Dawson loved it here and would have been very happy to just be a 4th choice , he would have given his all in games like this
