Daft from ASM ther because the defender actually had hung his leg out but he didn’t run into it to earn the free kick. Very open game.

It's not harsh, it's a bread and butter high boot, it's possibly unlucky that there was a defenders head there but you can't argue with that call.

Will still get some confidence from it, can't really argue with the high foot call unfortunately.

He's even more passing inclined here. I see it as a good thing as he's clearly been instructed to work on it and he is.

Suck it Trossard you little prick.

Great tackle and feed from the Bot.

I'm guessing that's why everyone is so interested in it, some sort of trans continental warp zone possibly.

RIP xG jokes.

Best to just leave them to work themselves into a tizzy whilst NUFC marches onwards.

When we beat them 2-1 in March we had 32% possession. That was at home. Our two goals came in the first 15 minutes - Fraser put away the rebound from a Murphy counter attacking shot off the post. The second was a bullet Schar header from a free-kick. This was before Bruno was starting. It's only 5 months later but I won't be at all suprised if we have a different approach to this match. Brighton were on a bad run then, they're not now but we're playing with less risk on our table.

The good thing is when Howe says that we won't make any signings unless they improve the team that leaves plenty of options in the attacking third. I'm therefore still confident that come the end of the window we'll have two signings though the door. If anyone else can be sold that will really help as well. This really is the best path forward; if we continue to improve on the pitch we'll become an increasingly desirable destination for up and coming players who will be the sweet spot for value in terms of wages. As this happens our sponsorship and corporate earnings will exponentially be increasing opening up the possibility of higher wages and transfer fees.

The poster we need, but not the poster we deserve.

Might need to play some games in the u21 team when he's back to bring himself into contention, as he could potentially miss oit on the 25 man squad to be named at the end of the window. This will also depend on who we bring in and could be part of why the Paqueta talk is on the rise.

This will be an actual test of where our current side is. Brighton are a good team but in the middle of the pack overall, the area we should be looking to move beyond through this season. As scoobos says any point here is a good result. The style in which we play will be telling as to how much variance we will see away vs home.

Fantasy Premier league somehow had Trippier down for a bonus point also. Think it was 3 for Schar, two for Targett and one for Trips. I'm not convinced that they watched the game before deciding on the points

Complete with the base kit that they didn't even bother to customise.

Na na na na

On the strength of this it's looking pretty dire. For their sake I hope they're a different team at home.

Murphy clearly fouled there.

The additional subs will be interesting this season.

In thay case fair enough, this sustained period of play is incredible and we've seemingly picked up where we left off. The fitness is telling also.

Fraser literally rubbing his hands together. You love to see it.
