Terrible from Dunk. Let the guy get 3 metres away from him knowing that cross was coming in.

You say that, but Morata is behind Dunk and Duffy is looking across at him. The ball comes in and Duffy’s natural reaction is to step up rather than reading the game, covering his partner and challenging the forward. Dunk is taken out of the game by a sensational ball, but it’s made sensational by a great header and poor reading of the game by Duffy yet again this season.

Well set up set piece there - as planned straight into the wall. I'm sure there's a tactical reason for doing this....................

To be fair that tends to work against poorer sides than us ...hughton's style is set up not to lose and get something if we can.

Against the likes of the top 6, it rarely works as their attackers are much better than our defenders.

If we can nick something, then great, but let's hope we can preserve the goal difference without too much of a hit.,
