Yes it was a hard watch. The walking football at the local park is probably faster.

Play in the final third is tedious. At some point, somebody has to at least try to cross the ball in, and have a punt.

That’s a bold statement after that display.
But I know what you mean. Great one game, average the next, so I hope you’re right.

Jesus Christ, I'm watching the post match analysis
They are going to struggle to find 30 seconds worth of highlights

I just hope after that 24 shots, 6 on target a 90 year old granny could've saved the Arsenal fans aren't chanting "boring Boring Brighton" on Saturday; though having said that a nil nil bore draw would be some achievement (against Arsenal)- really we should be thrashing rubbish like Brentford. Very frustrated and disappointed.

Jeez that was boring. Brentford took sitting back to whole new level. I'm sure Potter is secretly coaching this team.

Come on... we created a good number of goal opportunities.... finishing is shocking... nothing wrong with the approach play at all, even without Mitoma.
That would be fantastic, here's hoping. But not if we play like we did tonight.

Not a classic.
They seem dead scared to loose the ball.

Thought it was always gonna be a tough game. Only one winger and about 4 number 10s making up our midfield and front line. Brentford happy to sit deep and narrow so we are gonna struggle with not much pace or width. Still solid defensively and a good point. I think Welbeck made a big difference. Need to extend his contract ASAP.

Bit of a stalemate, not much more to add.

Agree.
That's enough chances to get us the goal to win the game.
Some shocking finishing in that game. The horrific shanks off the weaker feet of Lallana and Baleba should cost them both a weeks wages

Yep, he managed to miss 3 big chances!

It doesn’t help with De Zerbi throwing himself around and slumping in his seat every time something isn’t 100% perfect. I know he demands perfection but his reaction to Veltman missing that chance with his left foot was poor IMO. He’s a right footed defender who narrowly missed a left footed shot in the attacking third and De Zerbi looked like someone had snapped spaghetti in half in front of him. Bit OTT which maybe alludes to your comment about being scared to do the wrong thing.
How can it possibly be a one on one when a defender got a block in? By definition that means an extra player in the equation.
But then I’m a bit irascible following yet another frustrating evening. Ignore me. I would.
