When they went down to 10 was the worst. It was driving me crazy the way we were trying to paty the ball about between defenders with the pitch like that.

BTW, I think their red card was caused by the pitch. It really wasn't safe for the players at that point but there was only a few minutes to go so you can understand the officials carrying on.
