What a disgraceful performance. Not one good performance out of fourteen. The following should all apologise: Townsend, Schlupp, Ayew, Soerloth, Souare, Puncheon and Meyer. Wan-Bissaka and Kelly were at least respectable and Guaita didn't look likely to oust Hennessey any time soon. As with the shambles against Bristol City last season, not one player currently on the fringes of the first team did anything whatsoever to show that they should be playing. Ayew should be f***ing gone and Soerloth's half hour at the weekend looked like a flash in the pan. I think it's probably time to dr^H^H rest Townsend too. Wickham clearly still isn't properly fit and must've been there for injuries only. On that showing he'd be better than either Ayew or Soerloth even if he were on crutches.

Could have fielded our U/23's and got a better performance tonight. Guaita aside and maybe the two CB's we were abjectly woeful. If this doesn't focus the mind on the depth of the squad, what will? Losing feebly against Championship opposition didn't exactly have that effect last season, did it? It's pathetic.

out thought, and out fought. appalling and embarrassing. we need a clear out, and some new ideas. lot of players getting a lot of money for old rope.

What a waste of an evening, plus we would have drawn Burton at home. I don't agree with all these comments saying that this performance justifies Roy largely leaving these players out of the side. In my opinion it is exactly because he leaves so many of them out in the cold that is why they look shorn of form and confidence when they do finally get a chance.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Awful game but Boro defended very well without offering much else. Schlupp still terrible, clear why Puncheon never plays and Ayew starting to look like a really bad signing after early promise. I actually thought Sorloth was ok and played some neat stuff in the second half without threatening the goal. I missed the first half but in the second he didn't receive a single chance did he? One big thing I took away from this is that Meyer should be starting in the PL. If he starts regularly he is going to quickly become one of our best players. Roy can't keep giving him bit parts. The things he does wrong seem obviously about match sharpness. Good to see Woods get on the pitch given he's a fan

Good to see Souare get a start - he still does that great first-time cross.| highbury eagle Islington 31 Oct 18 10.09pm |

Well, not much learned tonight - our squad is as thin as we thought. Disappointed in Townsend yet again - so unthreatening. Guaita plays like he's imbibed 6 cans of Red Bull before the match, slightly worrying. Sorloth is a rare player that I actively dislike. A pathetic excuse for a footballer who contributes nothing, can't be bothered to challenge defenders - or lazily fouls them - can't be bothered to compete, can't be bothered to fight for the team. If I were one of his team-mates I'd despise him.

Sorloth should have got on the end of at least a couple of those crosses but doesn't appear able to jump
