Some of the comments here are unbelievable.

We started poorly but were growing into the game having weathered the early push by Fulham. That’s not unusual. Then we lost a goal. It happens.

The key turning point was the first red, but we were managing that, containing things and trusting on a breakaway or a late push.

The second red was ridiculous. It wasn’t even a foul. It was cheating which should have resulted in a red the other way, squaring things up from where we could easily have gone on to win. Why VAR didn’t overturn beats me. Tomorrow I will be with a Premier League Assistant Referee who is a mate and will ask him!!!He also works on the VAR.

It was a bad day all round but I expect it to be motivating too.

Yep, the usual s*ite on here because we've lost a game.

Moving on hoping for a discussion.... (If only Mitrovic hadn't been fit!!).
I thought both red cards were harsh, the second goal should have surely been disallowed.

Olise and Schlupp in midfield really doesn't work and Zaha should not play in the centre.

Vieirra really needed to change things at half time, stick on some harder working midfielders and a striker that can earn the odd free kick.

Out of the whole team I thought Ayew did the most to get stuck in and won a few tackles,

That was a car crash but not worth getting your knickers in a twist over. We were poor up until the first goal/red card double whammy. From there is was a mountain to climb, from the Tompkins red card it would have needed a Christmas miracle.

It was a freak game with two red cards and have been a lot more than 3. The players still battled to the end to try and keep the score line respectable.

Disappointing, yes. Talk of Viera out, no.
