I genuinely don't know how to answer that.
Did Bruce set up his team in a way that was doomed to fail from the start, or did his tactics completely nullify a team away from home which has far more talent in their squad than his. If its the former then it was Bruce's fault they lost, if its the latter then it his players' fault and not his tactics (or wittiness ;)) .

Wow that penalty shoutout shows the difference in pressure in a World Cup final! You just knew they were going to bash them like on the training ground. (Apart from lamela who I thought played well!) what was it 7 penalties!?

It's worrying how much we are relying on certain players to play every game for us- Verts, Paulinho and Walker must all be bloody knackered! Everton away is not a game to be going into if youre not 100%. Hopefully Capoue is fit enough to do a job if Paulinho isn't right, but Verts and Walker are nailed-on starters and are gonna have to content and keep-up with Baines and Coleman overlapping them- 2 of the best, most energetic fullbacks in the league...

To end this, Sam Allardyce out witted us, Steve Bruce did not.

"Having a dig" - ffs I am just analyzing what i saw. Is it now totally forbidden to have a negative opinion on a few things?? I was happy for a few others and in my opinion it wasn't Paulinhos best game. He gave it away pretty often and his shooting is bad. Yes - he might be a bit tired but I can still judge him. I like Paulie and I hope he is ready for Sunday... jesus

You do not want to visit the chat thread - I got a disagree rating from an idiot who didn't like MY choice of tv programmes. No reason why or questioning. Idiots. They should be made to explain why they disagree.

You got some statistical evidence to back that up?

Although I would love to see Lamela start as a 10 on Sunday I can't imagine he will be fully fit and It would be a shame if he under performs because he has heavy legs and misses out on his chance. Very promising performance from him tonight tho.
through tbe middle he looked more menacing.

The game put me in mind of a good looking lass with cracking jubblies that are fun for fifteen minutes but after that you realise she's got a bit of a gut and a muff-drowned minge. As it were.

In other words, there was a fair bit of promise there but then it all got a bit ugly after that. Flashes of brilliance but all in all, plenty of work to do.

The lack of width from the wing backs during recent games meant I didn't know what to do with myself when Jan moved to LB and fired a couple of balls across the face of goal. Even Younes got in on the act, which was promising.

As with pretty much everyone else here, I am dying for some one touch football...

Do we know when the draw is or has it be made already and I'm being slow. As usual.

We all know the results don't tell us everything. Another poster said that people's excuses were that they parked the bus on Sunday, what's the excuse today? We still did shit all

I'm not saying we were brilliant in both games but I'm sorry we were not out witted by Steve Bruce, they didn't even score in the first game so how can anyone say he out witted us for fucks sake.

Was Chadli carrying a knock to start with? Starting on the bench in the c1 cup is a bit of a knock for him otherwise! Let's defo play the kids in Europe next week...
