The lads look at wretched showings by Kelleher, Endo, Tsimikas and Gakpo, disappointing showings by Quansah, Szoboszlai, Doak, TAA, Salah and Elliot and reflect on a tactically disjointed mess which should have been partially sweetened by a getting an away draw until the referee and VAR cohort conspired to rob Quansah of his redemption arc.
