Where do you start with that pile of horse manure?

We did OK, but no more than that, until we scored. There were some decent moments and could have been 2-0 up.

But then we totally went to pieces. They totally bossed midfield with the extra man and Hughton did nothing to stop it for 70 minutes. Leroy Fer was beyond awful - he was running with lead boots on and seemed incapable of keeping pace with a single Fulham midfielder. But for Johnson's energy we'd have had no central midfield at all.

Redmond got in a lot of good positions, but delivery was mostly poor.

Snodgrass clearly shouldn't have been playing. We had Wes and Murphy as fit options.

Whittaker did all right generally but is so slow he's basically gone if a through ball is *ever* played behind him.

Ruddy was pretty poor.

Just a really dispiriting, shockingly bad second half and beaten by a poor team we made look good missing several key players.

Worrying.
