That first 45 was the most depressing display I could’ve witnessed; that was not a premiership team or set up, total absence of organisation and structure, somehow Brighton seemed to just hold back after the penalty, and we were lucky they didn’t have a striker

It was a much better second half - actual effort and some attempts at attacking

That foul on Wilson, SO obvious in real time even from the opposite side of the pitch, why VAR was required is beyond me…. and a red seems paltry punishment when it would’ve been a nailed on goal - but rules are rules

Max should’ve been off by half time

Joelinton was a revelation in his cameo, presence and tracking back, and played that ball out to Wilson for the sending off incident if I saw correctly - my Czech girlfriend said “the blonde black man you said is rubbish, he seems to be better than the others” - I didn’t disagree

I thought we were destined to lose 3-0, I’ll take that point all day long

off to the co-op for more cans………

oh yeah - as for Brighton;

Trossard’s a little ****
Coochicoo’s hair is hilarious
They have giants at the back
Lamptey was excellent - little ****
Lallana is so much shorter in real life
Bassouma (allegedly) got slaughtered by the crowd
 
Max has been **** for weeks
He’s the only one (bar Dubravka) who can feel safe in the face of the takeover, I can sort of ‘get’ him not putting his all in to it in this depressing phase - the rest of them should be playing for a future…. and they either aren’t, or they are - I dunno which of those prospects is more scary!

it doesn’t look good. We’ll have about 17/18 games once the Jan window opens, and I reckon we’ll have maybe 10-12 points by then which means needing another 30 needed. Relegation won’t stop us getting where we’re going (the top), it’s just a bit ****ing annoying to have that season long delay

Joelinton has been OK for a while, but people keep judging him on his price tag rather than what he actually is

Ya talking bullocks

He's not even getting a chance to play his game he's having to come way too deep to get the ball off our back 9


Tbh he's been poor by his standards, however him and Almiron are chasing down the ball. They both put a shift in last night. It goes unnoticed especially when they're tired.. Then people start saying look lazy ****. They're actually just exhausted.

Second half was the best I've seen from us all season.. We looked solid at the back and has a threat going fwd felt like we were most likely to win.

Shelvey made a big difference to that team

I feel better after that than before anyway.

Maybe, Norwich won today then sacked their manager.

They had already been in discussion with someone and decided now was the best time to bring them in.

They've like ourselves got a decent run of games coming up after the international break
 
Check the Man U game and the definite pen for city
Even on reply it is 100%
How did VAR not give it?

Partly agree in that you are correct and as none of the others bar Wilson are deemed a threat he usually has 3 defenders marking him when the ball gets anywhere near him but he still isn’t putting a shift in.

I don't agree mate he's running himself tired off the ball and so is almiron.

Max isn't the fittest chap though

And why isn't Max the fittest chap? Because he's a lazy ****tard.

Basically our runners are running for 6 other players.


He's all about sprinting . Short bursts make you tire much faster than just running around.

The pedestrian players we have mean max and Almiron are asked to account for it.

When they he tired at either end fans say look lazy. Ignoring the distances they're covering. They're actually just knackered.

Both players ran themselves into the ground
