Yesterday's performance was abysmal, both on and off the pitch. The players have clearly given up and are not playing as a team. Looks like a mess of individuals playing for themselves. I guess that's what happens after shambolic recruitment. I do feel sorry for Hyppia though, he's been given shit tools to do a difficult job, but he should be doing better.
From what I saw, the only players who seemed to care were: Bruno, Dunk, JFC, Tex (on occasions), Bennett (but was poor) and Calderon (from the bench!).
Gardner and Halford won't be at the club after January (I hope), so why start them over our own? Gardner went through the whole game without offering any fight whatsoever and we had Hughes and the young lad Rea who could have played instead of Halford. Yesterday's game cried out for some fight, strength and effort. Ince and Holla were both on the bench too - why? Both are better than the two that started in the middle, which is where we lost the battle yesterday.
