Were do we start. team selection Ambrose at right back? Lustig & van Dijk centre half? Biggest game of the season. I that makes sense Ronny. NOT! That was a team selection from an inexperienced, under qualified manager, Commons on the bench.? He might not be everyone's cup of tea but he's got an eye for goal and can pick out a pass. Kayal in the team. That guy was finished 2 years ago, as for Berget express he's a poor mans Georgios Samaras. As I'm typing this I still can't believe we are out of champions league.

I am amazed that you put out 6 lines of retrospective wisdom without mentioned big Chuck Mulgrew …he'll be delighted by that.

when your stand-in captain is below average you know you're in for a long cold winter

I agree with a lot of what you say regarding the team selection but the biggest point for me is the continuous selection of Charlie Mulgrew in midfield. What does it say for the other midfield players in the squad when a second rate left back gets a game in the midfield in front of you. The other big surprise for me was Denyer not playing. I would have thought Lustig would have played RB and Jason in the middle with VVD. Its going to be a long season and I don't think many will fork out their hard earned for the Europa League!

Agree, he's went down hill big time.

Don't think he (Mulgrew) was ever up the hill. A more over rated player than I have ever seen. Too slow and an ego the size of the planet!

{Ed007's Note - You've obviously forgot about James Forrest.}

Agreed ED but as he's never on the pitch I thought I'd spare him.

{Ed007's Note - That's a good point.}
