I am not sure that counts.
A bad day at the office, 3rd in the PREMIER LEAGUE and NSC is having a melt down.
Don’t ever change NSC!!

Agreed, there are people out there dieing
No - there was one in the first half where it went out for a goal-kick.

My conclusion:
- Bart needs to start every game in goal going forward, as he's the better keeper and we need consistency & to develop him.
- Webster probably is more suited to starting every game. He's not good enough to be a bit player. Probably his last season for us.
- RDZ is right to rotate the squad - he has to - but he got it very wrong today.
- Don't think this will be the last result like this - going to be a long, rocky season

Humbled… we’ve been fortunate for a few weeks now and today it showed that we are fragile when challenged. Massively missed the stability of Macca and Caceido.
Might do us good. Overhyped by everyone in the media. Would like us to go back under the radar.
That said, lots going against us today but too many weak performances was the key

Some bad luck today. But a distasteful flavour of unprofessionalism coming through. Driving with our hands off the wheel. Thankfully we have some points on the board already but we made Villa look like City. Awful performance.
Feel for Hinch. That was a mauling. Not happy with Veltman today either but I don’t think anyone played too well. Overrun throughout. Looked like we had 10 men.

That’s 4 games in a row where we’ve been average or poor
We've always got a result like that in us - see Everton last season. RBZ has known it ever since Gross got injured, we are very thin in the middle of the park currently and just like AEK we were lightweight and bullied particularly in the first half. We need Baleba to get up to speed quickly, Mo D the same, but we need Gross back and hopefully with Moder appearing soonish, we may have a bit more bite and creativity. In a way we missed JPVH at the back - who knows?
One result doesn't define our season, losing Caicedo and Mac was always going to be difficult (but that's life outside of the big 6) but no excuse. Get a result Thursday and life will feel much better.

Never a dull moment. Positives, I normally take opposition players out of my Fantasy team but forgot this week and left Luiz and Watkins in.
6-1, meh. I'm having the time of my life following Albion at the moment. I'm not even upset about it. You always know the next match will be totally different.

Who cares about our league position after 7 games if we're playing bad and getting smashed increasingly more frequently? We don't have a single clean sheet

They've gone, get over it. But we do miss the composure and guile of Pascal enormously.

9 shots 6 goals. 39% possession yet thrashed us. We must have lost every 2nd ball and just kept giving the ball to them.
Humiliating display all round.
