Yeah the Agbadou sub was not the reason we were on the back foot or conceded in isolation. What needed to happen if you’re going to make that sub is get Munetsi and Arias closer to Larsen and get the wingbacks higher. We could have gone a bit longer then, turned Brighton round and played in...

Yeah he got nominated for Premier League player of the month for September. Got absolutely pocketed today though.

I think the assessment of Jackson is quite strange to be honest because i thought today was by far the best we’ve seen him overall. Made plenty of clearances especially in the air and his 1v1 defending against Minteh was very good as it had to be in second half. There’s obviously a caveat to...

I just don’t think there’s any defending how deep we dropped in that second half and the absolutely no chance you can defend taking off your striker at the time he did and not bringing the one you paid over £20m for. All proven by the fact that we then made attacking changes once they equalised...

The thing for me with Munetsi is Joao should be the one doing those things with winning the most duels, most tackles, most fouls won etc… and then we can play Arias in there with Joao and Andre and we don’t need a runner especially against the “weaker teams”. I do genuinely think the league is...

He didn’t lunge and his knee catches him on the leg which is not dangerous. It’s natural contact from a tackle, you can’t eliminate it from the game.

It’s natural contact from a tackle, he doesn’t take him out. Should never be a foul ever anywhere on the pitch.

For me that’s exactly what VAR should be for. Pope gets more than enough on the ball for that to be a legal challenge. If you’re going to give them as fouls/penalties you’re basically advocating for a non contact sport.

Plenty were loud but so many i saw in the concourse making plenty of noise to then be absolutely silent during the game. Makes no sense.

After the second half we definitely deserved the 3 points i think but just lost that bit of composure in the final minute and chased a little too much. 4 at the back was fine first half but we were really struggling to get out effectively with basically no players on the right as Arias kept...

Agba and Jackson coming on

Oh yeah without a doubt we’ve lost the ball carriers too which is just further reason to get another player on further forward to have more outlets. We haven’t to be better than we were last night with it too but i still think we’re capable as the other sides aren’t great either.

Not a brilliant game of football but we got the job done. Andre the best player on the pitch closer followed by Krejci and they have to be the players we build the team around with a solid base. Santi and Johnstone showed on form they should be playing even if we know they probably aren’t of the...

Ahh i know it may not have been specifically at me but i think just make the point, it’s a good one. I think the digs at people for differing opinions are killing the forum which is a shame, no big deal though and certainly no need to apologise. I think it’s more we’re not worse than the teams...

Well Krejci looks like a very good footballer wherever he plays. Andre should be playing but he’s fallen out with Jeff and Vitor too. I agree all the keepers are poor but Sa has regressed so much he’s worse than both of the others somehow.
