Yes, 45 minutes of dreadful football today and rightly hooked off at half time!

He started off the season well.
We're too over-reliant on him. He's playing too many minutes.
Some of our fans seem to be unable to accept the concept that elite athletes playing too much will affect their levels of performance.
This is exactly why RDZ is rotating the squad - unfortunately for Estupinan we have no other natural left backs yet.
Did you actually watch the first half today?

He’s not got anywhere near the levels he set last season. Strange.

He’s a superb signing for us after Cucu’s bit of glory hunting. BUT his first touch isn’t total top class - doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be in my top team X1. The Lamptey leftback Veltman right back doesn’t massively weaken us tho as Man U showed

The post I quoted said this season.
Yes, he was shit today. But I don't remember him having any other bad games.
Has he had any good games? Wolves probably, that's about it.
He looks like he did in his first few games recently, it started in the first half against Newcastle. Erratic positioning, loose in possession, misplacing passes... He's not the only one, but it's surprising considering how consistent he was last season.
Definitely hasn’t looked as impressive as he did last season

Yeah, maybe, or he's not fully fit. He picked up an injury in international duty didn't he?

It’s October and we are ten games into a season. I’m sorry but I just don’t buy this tired nonsense at all, for any of our players.

Erm you could count the International games he has played …plus wasnt he playing for Ecuador a week or two before the USA tour….just adding that to the mix
It’s hardly the back end of a gruelling season though is it.

As pointed out …last season for him as good as ran into this one…..and re international fixtures just putting it there for accuracy.
For me he’s not looked quite the same player as last…..but it’s easy to say after a defeat

Thing is it's not just physiological stress it's the necessity to be mentally on it 100% of the time, there isn't much to separate teams these days, fine margins and all that.

Pervs been one of our best players and will continue to be. Nobody has done great recently. We’re lucky to have him.

It's been a busy 13 months for Pervis. Moved from Villareal to Brighton, 2 head coaches and staff entourages here, 2 head coaches with Equador, World cup in the middle of the season, has played about 50 times for us and a dozen times for Equador since signing in August 2022, and chucked in a lot of miles of travel to do it.
