Not really sure why anyone’s surprised. Brighton have outplayed everyone they’ve played this season. They battered Newcastle at home. This was always going to be a tough gig.
Could be a blessing in disguise. Board may be forced into moving for a striker we clearly need. Rodrigo had a bad day but entitled to one after his exploits so far. No options to replace him. I worry that Joffy is as good as he’s gonna be and will remain an impact substitute while Bambis done imo
I think Jesse would take anyone offered to be fair, it was me that said no need as rodders could cover and I wanted a left back so I apologise
We definitely need a decent striker Bamford is just becoming a wage thief we have had the best from him time to shuffle off can’t understand Joffy coming on with only 8 minute’s to go question does Jesse rate him or not
Down to earth with a bump Plus side, last season we would have been battered, but somehow we held firm and could have actually knicked it if Sinisterra had managed to roll his chance in. Point would have been sort of fair. Negatives were Struijk, too slow and when he bombed down the field ambled back, and was way off the pace a few times leaving Trossard and anyone else on their right flank plenty of time to walk past Struijk and do damage. Rodders was poor but cant blame him, Aaronson and everyone else was also poor. Everton need smashing Tuesday
10 goals and 5 points better off than we were after 4 games last season. Not quite the same opposition though but I'll take where we are this year compared to last.
We're 5 points better off, from the 4 corresponding fixtures from last season too, and a quick add up in my head, 7 goals better off.
Yeah its now Sunday morning and still feeling down after that. Eric and Gessa are right though we are in a better place from last season at this stage, but we need to bounce back and Lampard always gets us pumped up. We need 3 points
For me Doc the important thing is to keep picking up points and not get into a downward spiral of defeats. With that in mind a point against Everton wouldn't be that bad.
