Unconvincing performance with weak displays by our midfield & lack of intestity from the team...

We were lightweight going forward & easily dispossessed in our one paced midfield & played out from the back cautiously & indecisively, no energy or intestity until Doucoure entered the fray...

Wow!!! For my part I wouldn't dream of trying to excuse our performance that day, but the number of times one of our own, supposed supporters (and I'm not suggesting you aren't a Blue - your OTT criticism of our team proves that) comes out with "beaten by a bunch of kids" comment it does my head in. There's enough KAGS in the world doing that without us joining in.

You obviously don't take note of my posts in here because you would know that I'm rarely if ever highly critical of the club or the players. In fact I spend most of my time in here defending them against those that are. As I was doing today when this conversation first started.

But when we are truly bad I acknowledge it. And if you can't refer to playing 8 youth players out of a total of 14 as playing a bunch of kids, then I don't know when you can.

Oh, and I'm not edgy enough to even know what KAGS means so that was totally lost on me.
 

That performance was another shambolic unacceptable one
We’ve needed pace for years but this has never been addressed
Not just in defence but the midfield and forwards
Even now our forwards and wingers are nowhere near quick enough
Also don’t get me started on the passing ability of this team. It’s shocking
This team needs a total clear out and I’m not convinced on Richarlson either. Think he’s well overrated
Need to bring in young and HUNGARY players. Hardly any of this lot is worth a carrot.
 
Glad to be in the next round. Well played Rotherham. they deserved to win over 90 minutes.

Can't undestand how a team fighting relegation in the championship can perform a better high press than us and seem better positioned to cut off the lines of passes (apart from 2 vital lapses of concentration and 2 moments of class) in the final third than we are.

If Doucoure could pass a ball better he'd be the best midfielder in the world. He seemed to be annoyed at being on the bench because he couldn't run his usual allotted amount of miles. Just one more player with his energy levels and one more player with JR's passing ability would take us to another level.

Hungary haven’t produced any good players for years
 

Any post match interview or reaction from Carlo? Nothing on YouTube and it didn’t seem to come on the BT sport coverage from what I saw
 
Doucoure Man of the match.

Reckon communication is a big problem throughout the team,

And change with back line, was doing alright, even with players out of position, Since Coleman and now Digne introduced back seems to have unsettled the understanding at the back,
