Shame. Bit limp today after a bright start. End of season can’t come quickly enough

Lots of pretty play but unfortunately no goals.
Thing is, we actually don't, hence our mid-table position having played a lot of the season without key players...as you well know.
If you truly think RDZ should 'walk', then I genuinely don't know what to say, other than "Pfft!".
And again, no offence was/is intended.

Baleba is looking promising though, Biss too was a late bloomer.
Adingra was pony today, like bambi on ice.

They’re top of the league and we’re massively under strength. Just is what it is.

Looking forward to the end of the season, a chance to reset and strengthen.

Beaten by a far better team today.
Massively under strength ?!?
Mitoma , Solly and gilmour. Not sure about massively

Season's done.
And we need to stop making excuses

Oh, they're not a good side? We're not missing key players? Yep...you're spot-on with that analysis. Cheers, fella.

Completely agree with this. Some of the comments on here are pathetic. We were beaten by a very good team. Only our second home defeat of the season and yet some are reacting as if we are relegation candidates.
However much pressure we were under by the ever persistent opposition we still played our style. I’ll always support that.
Some on here sound like over expectant Man United fans.

Agree with this. So frustrating that in general Brighton will beat the press with some short sharp passing in defence but then go sideways or back in midfield. Baleba and Enciso tried but an established creative midfielder is really needed..Ali Mc plays those lovely reverse pass/between the lines balls..which are so missed..Lallana can do it as well but only for about 10 mins each game!
Was going to say this too.

Have you been watching this or just getting on the negative band wagon? Arsenal are a team that dwarfs us in value and size and played their best game today with their best team. What were you expecting? We are still hampered by injuries, players still not in top condition after long term injuries and youngsters still finding their feet.
Yes, we are not on form and have lost our cutting attacking edge in the final third but I’m not going to get into another RDZ/TB bashing thread so will just say we all know where our weaknesses are without being lectured about them ad nauseam (this is not directed at you btw!) - All this rotation that injuries have necessitated has also left much of the season with the team unsettled.
IMO we have played well today with the tools we have ( bar some individual errors/poor decisions) but Arsenal are just the much better team and showed It today. It is simply too harsh ( and not true) to say we played at relegation level.
I have enough faith in the young talent we have ( and with March and hopefully Mitoma still with us particularly) that we will turn this around next season without the pressure of Europe ( an exciting first taste as it was).
Nah, just realistic.
