That was shocking.

Manquillo, Hayden and Kennedy were am absolute disgrace. At least Hayden and Kemmedy will be banned. Hopefully the injury Manquillo picked up is season ending.

We must have a team of bottlers if they are happy to let the worst player in the pitch take it . Would rather dubravka have taken it. Very poor game between to shocking sides. How often do we say that?. Only positive is the 1st point on the board and a clean sheet.

Back to the Hayden decision. My biggest criticism of him has always been his lack of discipline. Not in the sense that he always makes dangerous tackles or lashes out, but that he's constantly going to ground to make tackles in places he doesn't need to. I've been meaning to look up his stats of the past two seasons, but it's always struck me that he has more fouls per minute than anyone else.

wonder if rafa is rewriting his lack of discipline rules for kenedy?

by far the worst player on the pitch today, you just can't trust him.

- that's actually an incredible stat!
Another record for Rafa!

Traffic cone.

Not even a hard decision. Must be a rhetorical question.

I'll just say it again. Aside from our RBs, Kenedy was horrendous today. But he's had far more good matches than bad for us since January, and the rest of the team hardly covered themselves in glory today too.

All I can say is that Jamie Sterry must be absolutely shocking if he can’t get anywhere near those two cunts. Might as well just release him now

Whilst Kenedy should never have been allowed anywhere near that PK, I wouldn't have been overly confident if Shelvey had taken it either...half his crosses and corners seemed to hit the first man. Same with Ritchie when he was on. And what does it say that our recognised striker wasn't even considered to take it too, desperately needed Rondon on there today.

Anyway, that f***ing sums us up to a tee.

Why on earth let Kenedy take it? He made about 2 passes and should have been sent off. Shelvey has to be on pens surely?
This. As soon as I saw him step up he never looked composed too me. He was poor as most were today. Would have been a steal if we won we didn't deserve we looked slightly better with 10 man to me honest that goes to show how bad Manquillo and Hayden were. Shocking performance and why on earth did Rafa not take off Joselu for Rondon and Muto for Perez would have been so much better. Disappointing overall but we have to move on. Seems like Aarons / Atsu / Murphy will be vying it for the left-hand side as Kenedy will most likely get a ban. Goes to show even though Yedelin isn't that great he's decent and much better than Manquillo. Lack of depth will cost us especially towards the festive season. At this rate might have to bring Lazar back from the cold, surely Sterry can't be any worse than Manquilo? I would say start Rondon AND Muto against Chelsea. Joselu doesn't have anything threatening about him no real pace, strength, guile or finishing. Could have been worse but we came out with a point with 10 men against a newly promoted team at home, three would have been better but onto the next one. Chelsea and Arsenal at home anything could happen but if we play liked we played today we're in for a thrashing.

Not looking good for Cardiff either. They were s**** last week and this week only managed one shot on target against us in possibly our worst performance in years, down to ten men for thirty minutes. Look nailed on to go straight back down.

Manquillo should never play for us again. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy but f*** me he is a shockingly bad footballer. In fact, I can't think of a worse RB we've had in my entire time supporting us and we've had some rotters. If you can't even outperform Stephen Carr on the terrible right back scale you know it's bad.

I mentioned it earlier but I'll say it again, losing him and Hayden and going down to 10 made no actual discernible difference to our performance as they were both f***ing appalling. If anything we looked better.

I'd bring Rondon in for Joselu, Atsu can come in for Kenedy, hopefully Yedlin is back aswell.

You could make a case for replacing the entire XI after that shitheap though.

CBs were both comfortable, can't recall a clear-cut chance for Cardiff. Shelvey the only player to create something, other than that it was pretty abysmal.
