Monaco - Post Match thread.

Disappointing, had chances and didn't take them, several key players having absolute mares. Not good at all.

Kun puts away even one sitter and we wouldn't be moaning, but that's it.

The season has been a failure in my opinion after this result. Cannot fathom how the players failed to turn up in that first half, just wasted the whole half, woeful disposition and something no one expected. A lot of players let the team down. Second half was better but once again could not take the chances and when we FINALLY scored, they then scored from their ONLY chance.

Typical.

Nice to hear the 5 live commentator screaming with pleasure at the final whistle.

No-one is above criticism and tonight Pep deserves some. That was a woeful managerial performance. Wrong starting line up, wrong tactics, wrong substitutions. Best manager in the world maybe, but tonight anyone on here could have done no worse. Utter rubbish.

As others have said that first half we were terrible. Our arses went.

Poor team selection.
Poor tactics.
Poor pressing.
Poor possession.
Poor movement.
Poor mentality.

Threw it away, can only assume Yaya was carrying an injury, really needed him second half especially.

All on the players, that. Should have scored 4 second half.

Sterling, Kev, fernandinho, Silva(to a lesser extent) were all compltely ineffective tonight.

When you look at sterling himself...what did he do all night that sagna couldn't? There cant be a more damning evaluation that that either. Kev was all over the place, fernandino would have been better served slightly higher up tackling(where tackles might have turned into counters) instead of playing way too deep with only two attacking players as company in the middle. Silva started the game playing at a snails pace.

I can understand pep in the way he set up, as he was clearly asking questions of his team. Questions that have now been well and truly answered. Yaya/fern and fernando perhaps should have started as the wall in front of defense, with a lone attacking mid breaking away. Not pep's fault the workrate and general endevour was completely lacking from all the main names.

Overall though sergio had plenty of chances and blew every one of them. I only really rated sane and stones on the night.

Appalling game management,incredibly poor. Genuinely shocked at the manager tonight.
