I, like many, had hoped that we would get a result last night if only to generate a bit of excitement for the end of season run in. Unfortunately we put in a very pitiful performance against a very poor side. First half was sterile and with little to get excited about. The second half was our whole season condensed into 45 minutes of mistakes.
In the Prem, if you make mistakes, you will get punished. Unfortunately we have continued to make these basic errors and it will cost us. With the exception of our two Brazilians in midfield, we have a side that is lacking. Question is do we need a new manager or do we need new players?

Both, Nando. Re needs to go now.
Most of the players are either being sold or not even good enough for the Championship.
So make of that what u want.

Bellegarde
Tatchoua
Armstrong
Johnstone

Last night was a lost opportunity. Had we won, we would have reduced the gap to Tottenham to ten, West Ham to nine, and been level with Burnley. Despite being the better side in the first half, we never looked like scoring, whereas they missed two gilt-edged chances. The reason is that none of our midfielders is capable of playing a killer ball. I lost count of the number of times our players turned back on themselves and either passed back to a central defender or lost the ball and set up a counter attack.
We have probably set up more goals for our opponents than they have set up themselves this season. Andre and Joao Gomes are both culpable in this regard. I am struggling to remember any assists they have had this season, but I can think of numerous assists they have had for the opposition. A forward thinking central midfield pairing is our top priority for the Summer window.
