Big picture being?
benfica games, winnable home games coming up that may have been much harder had we took a number of knocks in this game.
I understand all that but how can you explain the inept performance, and it's not just this game. No excuses to be so utterly flat and useless, lacking ideas etc. yes we aren't expecting any result today but nit an excuse t o just not turn up.
Wouldn't be so bad but we are like this agains the so called lesser teams. Any result against Benfica will have fuck all to do with Pardew.
