wtf knocky..this is why weve had so few goals from midfield this season - players keep the ball and get tackled when there are players in open play to pass to, and conversely pass to a player with nowhere to go..

Feels like a training exercise for Chelsea.

Radio Five say "Brighton not really having any sort of threat at all coming forward". I know we didn't expect to do well but it would be nice if we had something when going forward just once or twice.

Jahanbakhsh is really really bad, absolutely clueless player.

All of our issues seem to stem from a lack of communication.

That appears to be the problem with our signings, with the exception of Propper and Gross they have all been ‘work in progress’.

Agreed apart from Bernado - he is already premier league level for me. Andone is decent too if we can keep him fit.

That goes against the very complimentary NSC posts about our performance. Is the BBC bloke talking bollocks?

The commentators on this stream honestly sound like they want to get on their knees, open their mouths and just go to town on Hudson-Odoi. Wankers.

Would also say Montoya is fairly competent at RB, nothing special but definitely good enough at this level.

On the positive side, we've defended fairly well. Stephens has looked OK and Bissouma.

Answer 1
Like we did against Man Utd in both home games since promotion? Like we did at home v Arsenal last season? Why does it have to be 'pack the defence and delay the inevitable' or 'get smashed with any other approach'?. That's a nonsense myth, it's simplistic argument that makes football tactics out to be all or nothing. As if if you don't park 10 men behind the ball for all 90mins you will lose 8-0. It's simply not true. I'm not saying abandon all defensive duties, play 1-1-8 (and send Ryan up front). But what we've been doing isn't working. What's the definition of insanity again?

Answer 2
We don't have the squad to play this way, either!

Ok I was trying to be positive about the way we've played at half time... Starting to get pissed off now though. We're losing and still playing as if trying to get a 0-0 ...
