Barnes was really good! Time for Gordon on the right and barnes left from now...

Made a big difference when he came on, great with ball and no mistakes. Competition for the left back berth! Well done lad!!!

Goal was Joes fault 100%.

Back line is very nervous on the ball and Pope is also... They are pressing well and webare making mistakes, such as joe's for the goal. Need a bit more precision and BITE!!!

Mind semesi (think thats his name) has rinsed everyone so far

I think one of the reasons kelly is playing is because senesi rinsed hall last season and last week hall was poor tbf..

Looked like he was well sickened. One thing about Livra; he hasn't won a single header all half, rest decent but everything in the air...uuf

Second to evry ball! Looks like our team has played 60 games already this season. For fecks sake!!!

Looked very obvious last week that kelly was better than Hall. Previous captain of bournemouth and with good pace and muscles...

New anything would be good at moment! Gonna be really peeved if we get no-one else in before deadline day

65 million leipzig defender linked in the mail. Cant see it..

‐----------pope-------- Livra---krafty--burn--kelly --longstaff--bruno---joe-- Murphy-----isak----gordon--

Thought Guehi looked pretty average again today, i know it is only two games but he certainly doesnt look like a 70 million transformative defender...

Diallo and Casemiro have been passengers for me. Brighton have been well organised defensively. Minteh has had a few options but end decision hasn't been good

Go on Brighton!!!

Villa are our real rivals I think. They looked really good the other day and when they broight subs on they were still as good. Emery is a top manager, we have to hope that europe tires them...

Though we lacked a bit of nastiness/bite to our game yesterday (joe linton apart obviously )

Quite impressive photoshop abilities on display here!

Pope - Was really dominating and gave confidence and security to our back four. Great to have him back, raises the bar significantly Livramento - Excellent defensively, i don't think he was beaten at all the whole game. Made some good attacking runs but doesn't contribute as much as we are used to with tripps. Schar- really stupid schoolboy error, you just cannot react! Krafty- Really secure and some decent passes, not worried if he has to step in for a couple of games. Burn- very dominant and aggressive, loved him yesterday and loved that he was in their faces with the amount of shithousin they were doing. Hall- had a bad game, too many loose passes and they targetted him as our weak point and it worked for them. Time will tell... Longstaff- 9 out of ten game for him. He is not a creative outlet but he covers ground and does the dirty work really well. Had a great game and was very ordered. When (if) Tonali eventually gets back in he will be superb back up! Joe - Beast. They got beasted all game! What a feckin man to have on your side! Man love!!!! Bruno- Took a while for him to get in the game and made a few slack passes/was caught in possession in 1st half. Redeemed himself completely in 2nd half with a monsta display! Gordon- bit out of sorts but did the hard yards to be fair to him. Has had less preseason than the others... Murphy- not really his fault but he didn't see much of the ball as we didn't have much of it. Defended ok. Decent game tbf. Isak- class but ran out of steam after 60/70 mins. Didn't get much supply either. Subs: Kelly was excellent and really snubbed their attacks down his side. You could see him talking and organising the back line, would have him on at left back from the start next game. Barnes- not a great deal from him, had one chamce and mis-controlled it, on another day he would have perhaps taken it. They played quite well I thought and had the confidence to play out and around our press. They had a game plan to pull shirts, foul at any minute we began to counter and the pri#k Pawson aided and abetted this! Thought we were too soft compared to their niggly/shithousery. We need to get back to being nasty!!

BEAST

He did actually make a goaline clearance so well done to him. Few mistakes that he will be made aware of no doubt... So all good

I said in the match thread before the game that Pawson was my only negative for the game... He lived up to the hype; AWFUL REFEREE

Yep, bad game for him but first one and he should improve

Only negative was Hall in the second half; he made about four dodgy back passes which could have lead to them equalizing and all of their attacks came down his side as he seemed to have been targetted. When Kelly came on he was much more proactive instead of reactiva and pushed them out quite a bit compared to hall... Not convinced (I know, one game...)

They deffo look a bit strange without a proper striker. Should have been two up by now except for average finishing by the ugly Bruno
