If we had finished 10th or 11th last season after avoiding relegation people would have been happy. This season would be seen as another step in the rebuild and looking to finish 7th or 8th we would be on target for where we want to be. Because of the way we massively overachieved last season everything is measured against that

He was atrocious last night. Gets in decent positions but just fails in execution. Weak in the tackle and gets knocked off the ball with a puff of wind

Gusto is poor

I see the game is on Discovery+ tonight

I'm really looking forward to seeing this lad have a run of games. The Chelsea fans were gutted when he left them, many saying that he was their best player

Bournemouth have put in some excellent performances this season. If I remember right they were seconds away from beating Arsenal

I get the impression that Ratccliffe thinks his wealth can steamroller through everything and everyone. He could finish up doing more harm than good to Man U

Willock was instructed by Bruce just to get into the opposition penalty box. That, according to Willock was his only remit

Does anyone really know how good Ashworth is. A lot of the vibes coming from Brighton fans is that he was just a cog in a big wheel. They say that it was the owners who developed this system that Ashworth worked and seems to take a lot of credit for

We need someone quick like Virgil van Dyke ????

There were a couple of really good through balls played today for Longstaff but he just doesn't have the pace or the strength. Without big Joe and little Joe in midfield alongside him he becomes cruelly exposed

I wonder if because of the Tonali cock up Ashworth was hauled over the coals, something he wouldn't like, or even pressured into leaving. I doubt if the Saudi owners would be best pleased with how this deal was put together. Add to that the fact that Ratccliffe is allegedly a big buddy of his

Punish players and managers retrospectively by reviewing videos after the game and punishing for fouls that were missed, diving, cheating etc.

He used to play in midfield earlier in his career

I thought that he should have been first to the ball for the second. The defender thought that too

Obviously not fit yesterday

Gordon and Bruno take the weight of our whole team. Without the 2 Joe's our midfield is none existent

The foreign players who came here introduced diving to our game and it's now an absolute art. It's cheating and that is what has ruined our game

I think that the biggest hammer blow was losing Tonali. That has thrown Eddie's plans into disarray

Chelsea can't afford to sack Pooch because the compensation they would have to pay would put them in breach of FFP

I think that Lewis is far better playing in the opponents half and no where near as good in our half when defending. Could even become a number 10 in the near future

After watching West Hams last 2 games I'm glad we didn't sign Philips

I'll be happy never to see Burn at LB ever again. Cost us the game today

Tino needs to be on for Miley who seems a little off the pace. Burn is just getting rinsed. Longstaff is s just so easily knocked off the ball

Longstaffs sister could have scored from that chance he had and put us 4.0 up
