Taking the piss out of my age whilst being older than me and unable to even work out when kickoff time is. Fucking dipshit.

 

 

 

I admit I'm old matey. You taking the piss out of Sammy on the other hand.

Behave man. He was one of the best keepers in the league last season 

 

I will not, and yes he was.

Bruno needs the hairdryer treatment but Joe has been worse. He's the one needs subbing. 

Agreed. A shadow of his usual self

Were are toothless in midfield which is completely at contrast to our usual game..they're winning all the second balls. Miggy dropping central to try and pick stuff up.

 

Joelinton has been off a bit, as he was against Man City. It's the way teams play if they move it around quickly he doesn't get a chance to turn it into a physical battle. I also wouldn't say it's us being toothless though, they move towards the ball when their defenders have it and pass the direction they're playing. They want opposing midfielders to press into their backs because after the backwards played ball it can take them out of play for the next progressive pass. At its core it's really basic stuff, but it's effective when you do it as quickly and naturally as Brighton do. If you take a little nibble and get into their back you give away a free kick.

That’s the problem. No control in there. I hope Howe, when he makes the necessary changes alters the shape a bit and doesn’t do his identikit winger for winger and striker for striker. We’ve actually had enough chances to be ahead mind. For all Brighton’s control. Agree with your earlier comments about Targett. He’s all at sea (not helped by the lack of midfield cohesion). 

[toonotl 2916]

Shearer listing off the errors that led to their goal. Thankfully not everyone is keen to gnaw Brighton's knob off trying to compliment them for being gifted a goal.

 

According to Shearer. Two errors each from Pope and Tonali (lazy clearance and then didn't close down). And Trippier dives in for no reason. He's 100% correct. Terrible goal to concede. Lack of the right attitude more than anything. And we've been equally as shit going forward.

[aimaad22 4082]

Would be a pathetic way to go into the international break with the wonderful CL fixtures coming. Get a draw here and get some sort of momentum going ffs.

 

One thing laking to quality sides but we're self destructing 2nd game in a row here and it not one month into that season. 

[Howay 12496]

We’ve needed a proper 6 since the takeover, I still don’t understand why it hasn’t been a priority. West Ham and Forest bought Alvarez and Sangare who would have both filled a key role for us. We have Bruno and Tonali both trying to get up the pitch and Pedro in acres of space as no one will sit. There’s also no fucking easy ball out from the back, so we end up booting it under pressure right back to Brighton.

That’s the only positive we can take from the first half: they only scored because a plenitude of errors while we managed to waste very good chances early on.

[toonotl 2916]

Yeah. It's easier to accept being outplayed (at least in the long run) but two bottle jobs in a row going into the international break. That's not a good sign. It would seem to show at the moment that the team has been distracted, perhaps by CL football, because we've been massively off the ball the last two (arguable three games) and we haven't even got to the CL matches yet when the distraction turns into tired legs as well.

[Christmas Tree 4669]

What a load of shit. Our 11 look as though they’ve just finished their Sunday dinner, with pudding, before taking to the field. I just don’t understand our style of play. So lethargic and lack lustre. 
 

Hope Eddie hasn’t peaked. Need a bit of nouse to change things around rather than just sticking with his favourites.

 

And Pope ffs

Yup. Can't believe we didn't go for that and a CB. Seems we targeted good players becoming available rather than the positions we needed to strengthen.

all Sky keep banging on about was that shot from Gilmour as if he's scored a worldy.  Fuck me.  Pope spilled it man, that's why they scored.

[wykikitoon 19803]

Is it case of Bruno getting used to playing with Tonali and Joe together?  I dunno.

[toonotl 2916]

Brighton are developing nicely into Brendan Rodgers' Swansea. Lots of possession. Media darlings. Shit football team.

[wykikitoon 19803]

Commentator saying were facing our third successive defeat as if we've been beat by Sheff United, Luton and Bournemouth.  Fuck off.

[wykikitoon 19803]

Started better

[OTF 7214]

Jon Champion is a Brighton fellating, nasal buzzy voiced shite.

[wykikitoon 19803]

They're soft as fuck these and the officials are buying it.

[Gemmill 44094]

Howe will suss this. Maybe not in time for today, but he'll work out what's going on and I'm sure he'll eventually drop people if he needs to.

 

We all thought Wilson was undroppable in Howe's eyes for a while and now he can't get a start.

 

I'm not worried but if we lose this we're probably 1 point off the absolute minimum acceptable start to the season and 3 points off an average start.

 

We'll get sorted.

Aye, when they got pumped 3-1 by West Ham with 80% possession, I flashed back to Rodgers asking what the possession figures were in a game he'd just lost.

 

 

[wykikitoon 19803]

We're not ruthless in the box at the moment at all.
