No. It was a really strange one today
I felt the team selection was right and when we were one up that we could go on and win it comfortably if we could get a second but then Benteke scores out of nowhere and we just collapse in a way that is hugely worrying.
Giving them a the corner for the second was a complete disaster when we know we are so fragile after we concede. We are becoming like the England batting line up down in Aus.
I don't completely blame Hughton for today although his lack of intent second half was frustrating and ultimately this is his team and this weakness running through it when under pressure away from home ultimately is something that ultimately he has to be accountable for.
