Shameful capitulation against a team of battlers who play it long and then fight for the ball. No heart in the team, no morale or competitiveness or cohesiveness.

Can't get worse can it

We need our captain back

Personally I'm not willing to blame the players, they are as confused and disenchanted as all of us. Bewildered, even. It's a mess and its not their fault.

The club need to understand what they've done, every passing moment with Benitez in charge we will slip further into the mire.

The heart and soul has been ripped from the club and the players should not be blamed in my opinion.

The players have shown they will fight for a manager and what do they get six months later? they see the man who is building the team into the vision the owner wants, a man they have backed with some great performances, sacked and discarded as if his achievements meant nothing.

A little slump in form with injuries, suspensions, disasterous refereeing and no choice but to play the owners toyboy is not reason for the sack, the players must get sick and tired of trying to adapt to a different Managers instructions every feew months.

I think that they are protesting in a way as well.

Lets hope so.

I blame the owner for what has happened of late but today's performance was the players fault, they were sh*t and they let the fans down again.
