I think it would be mad to sell Shelvey for anything less than £18-20m and a replacement already in place. I don't care what people think of him we've got Isaac Hayden as our first choice to replace him ffs.

Is this a joke?

Fat prick.

So easy to see who's is who, as well. Speeds kid is the absolute spitting imagine of him like Which one? I meant which one of the two do you think looks most like him. I think it is that one too. Yeah sorry second from the right! Absolute spit Swallow for me.

Have to play Dummett center back if he can't make Swansea.

Kin el full strength. Love that team.

Turned off.

Banter.

Rafa's a pretty chill guy so it's hard to read in to things too much. I know he gets angry at times but in interviews/press conferences he hardly ever seems to lose his rag despite whats going on. I remember the season we went down after we'd lost to Norwich and we were pretty much doomed his reaction was the same 'We focus on the next game'. He doesn't get flustered easily.

Rafa looked happy?

No way is Rafa leaving before the end of the season. If Ashley is here in the Summer he's gone but until then he isn't bailing.

Can we please calm the fuck down. I'm not buying this shit because I know I'll be slitting my wrists tomorrow when it turns out to be bullshit. Pls.

Awful. I knew they were near the bottom for a reason but with the quality of players like Shaqiri and Allen I expected them to cause us problems. Aside from the last 10 minutes they didn't trouble us at all really. The biggest thing you noticed was how easy it was to create against them just freely giving our midfielders as much time on the ball as we wanted. Also it looks like some of them i.e Shaqiri have given up on playing for Hughes. I think he'll be sacked in the next few days.

Sainsburys is better than Heron.

I didn't think Brighton were good really, I was watching the game thinking this stinks of two relegation teams. We made them look better than they are because the only times we actually put a couple of passes together they were there for the taking. FWIW, Matthew Ryan had a good game.

Positivity on the ball was the thing lacking the most though. Time and time again the ball went near him and we stopped dead. Aye I know we need better but I'd still rather have Dummett than Manquillo even if the latter is a bit more positive bursting forward.

He's very negative on the ball but thought he was fine today.

Anyone expect anything different to this come 2pm? Darlow Yedlin Lascelles Clark Dummett Ritchie Hayden Merino Atsu Gayle Joselu

'Zero red cards' Clutching at straws there. If he has the same pass accuracy then he needs to seriously improve it because 90% of Hayden's passes are 5 yards or less whereas a large chunk of Shelvey's are 40-50 yards. Shelvey on average passes 7 metres longer than Hayden. Hayden in turns plays in a more defensive position, so it's only natural he passes shorter. Course he does, he isn't capable of making telling passes forward.

How the fuck is Hayden better than Shelvey? Like what attribute in his game is better? The only one I'll give him is hard work and trust he'll give his all. Don't get me wrong I'm all for selling Shelvey in the long run when we can afford to do it, but as it stands we have a shit squad and Shelvey just so happens to be one of the better of our shit players.
