His reading of the game is surprisingly good.

Didn't really do anything wrong in the first half, but looked bang up for it second. Quality bit of play for the goal, should do him the world of good.

Massive. And that's just his haircut.

Good lad Murphy as well, proved he's got quality.

Those last 20 mins. I've aged a good number of years.

Needs to improve his final ball. Off the ball when making runs etc, he's our only threat down one of the flanks. Ritchie stays in front of his man and doesn't try to take him on. Decision making is very poor too.

Can't work out if Murphy just lacks confidence or he's not actually very good.

Daft goal from a Crouch knock down incoming.

No striker policy like Spain.

They need to win, should suit us as long as we don't give anything silly away. It'll certainly be another awful spectacle whatever happens.

Freezing out Mitro hasn't helped him when we're so incompetent up top.

You can't legislate for some of the incompetence on show from the players today. Basics went missing. They look scared shitless to play at home.

We attack like we know we're going to lose it, absolutely petrified of getting done on the break. Self-fulfilling.

I'm not that displeased as Brighton could have won that I feel if they bothered their arse. All the evidence you need that January will make or break relegation. We're definitely not assertive enough, though, we don't build pressure because we back off all the time. Its all well and good saying we're scared of the counter, but sometimes you need to speculate. It's worth the gamble to gain the extra two points and risk losing one in the position we're in and with Brighton clearly playing for the point the last 20. Disappointing but not the end of the world.

My favourite bit was when Merino went for a loose ball but Atsu nipped in ahead, nutmegged him and the ball rolled to a Brighton player.

Do it for the fans!

Dread to think who we've got lined up.

Wish he was my son in law.

No point in him if he doesn't provide the odd banger from range. Sick of these tame efforts from distance.

Nah, need to win this. We can't afford to drop any more points at home to these sorts of sides.

Pivotal game. Must win really if we're not going to make things extremely hard for ourselves.

Take that at HT. Bit embarrassing tho.

Get in.

Merry Christmas xx

Clever boy.
