Disco Stu

Perfectly clean tackle. Referee had a good view of it too.

Danny Rohl would be my choice but I distinctly remember reading that it would cost £10m to break him and his staff from their contracts. I can't see it happening.

One word. BRAVE

I'm seeing all the same mistakes at the back from us but Villa seem vulnerable passing out as well. Our main issue is how pedestrian we play. We've won the ball back in good positions but too often our next pass is back to a defender. Those moments we have reached their box, we've lacked the quality and composure to even force a save. Conditions have been a bit of a leveller but we don't look like we're going to score.

We win the ball in the middle, recycle. They win the ball in the middle, fast counter attack. That's the difference.

Wood and Bellis going for the same ball ffs

Glad I stayed home for this one.

Our captain, Jack Stephens.

From what I've seen, Edwards is both faster and better at passing than Wood is. I'm sensing a level of favouritism in choosing Wood over Edwards.

That line up is so bad 😂

Probably exactly what happened to Leicester City. At least we'd have had some silverware to look back on.

We've got exactly what we've deserved.

Absolutely. Should have been 3-0 down after that first half.

Sulemana 😂

Armstrong was clearly offside and knew it. Making any movement towards the ball and giving the PGMOL the opportunity to disallow it was complete stupidity.

Well that was confusing. And unnecessarily long.

Brighton will wake up now.

I didn't think this was possible? I will if it is.

We continue to play the same way. We continue to get the same result.

Play KWP in his actual position FFS.

Lasted longer than I thought we would.

I think back to players like Fonte and Romeu that were not only big characters within our squads, but reliable mainstays that were Premier League level. Now we either have experienced players that aren't up to Premier League level, Stephens for example, or Lallana that is up to Premier League level but can never be a mainstay in the team because he can't play more than 60 minutes and is becoming injury prone. I agree, Lallana is probably the most technically gifted player in our squad but personally, I think the money we're paying him could have been better spent. Facilitating him means having a player in and out the starting eleven instead of a settled midfield and it also means a guaranteed and very predictable substitution.

Experience is absolutely vital but signing a 36 year old that can barely play an hour of football was always a bad idea.

Brighton will score early and it will be downhill from there.

I do.
