Breathless. This is why Rafa is who he is. Yes, the goal was lucky, but the chances we missed were nothing short of astonishing. They made Mitro's header vs Bristol look acceptable. I'm gonna say it though - I said Perez should be up top. And for the home games can we please ditch the 4-2-3-1 and just enjoy 4-4-2 for the rest of the season??
We were much more level headed today. Diame and Gouff were not good up front tho. Good subs by Rafa. I would of bought Mitro on instead of Murphy at the time but worked out. Diame instantly better when playing deeper.
Yep. A win is a win. I'd love to think we will learn from this and the recent home games. I doubt it though
All credit to Rafa finally, but he left it late. Murphy did ok, Mitro probably would have done more or less the same. I think Murph's a bit cannier though. Perez is a striker. We don't have a no.10 so should just stop playing it. Diame is a central midfielder, and to repeat, Perez is a striker.
All things considered that was an awesome performance, dodgy penalty but didn't let our heads go down and were on top in the first half. Then perfect subs and adjustments to win the game. Now let's take that to every game, no point beating Brighton after struggling against Bristol City
We were due a spot of luck but they did show a lot of character. We really must start putting some of these chances away. Game should have been dead and buried long before the last 10 minutes.
