Birmingham: Fans slam Montero performance
Birmingham City bowed out of the FA Cup last night at the fifth round stage after a valiant display against Premier League side, and Midlands rivals, Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Few would have had the Blues down as favourites for their game with the Foxes, particularly with it away from home.
However, they have proven hard to beat in recent league games and they once again underlined that with a decent performance against a side looking good to make the Champions League for next season.
Indeed, there were plenty of individual performances that drew praise last night but one player that didn’t earn such plaudits was Jefferson Montero.
The winger struggled to make an impact during his time on the pitch and Blues fans weren’t too impressed with what they saw from him.
Let’s take a look at what was said about his performance against the men from the King Power…
Juke is crossing the days off his calendar to when Montero's loan expires #BCFC

NEVER want to see Montero in a Blues shirt again! A big pile of tat! #BCFC

1% fit Bellingham is a million miles better than a 100% Jefferson Montero.
Rather just blood a youngster on the wing, than waste time with him now. Not gonna be here next year, and offers nothing, so what's the point? #bcfc

Proud of our boys! Love them all. Montero not so much. #bcfc #kro

Great effort from us tonight. Different gravy from Kieftenbeld, unfortunately Pederson has moments in games when he becomes completely brain dead, which cost us tonight! Montero should never make the squad again either #BCFC

We lost 1-0 to 3rd in the Premier League. The only negative imo was Montero travelling with the squad #bcfc
