We just look insipid, a shadow of ourselves. Realise it’s only half time but not one of our players is playing well. Need a big improvement in next 45 mins.

No idea what our plan is for the midfield 3. One minute Tonali is wide right, next he’s chasing a ball wide in the left.

I know the hipsters think Brighton are Barca circa 1995 but they aren’t that good.

Absolute clown show that.

Almiron’s lack of a right foot is beyond a joke now.

Brighton have beat a very poor Wolves and Luton and lost to West Ham at home. We don’t lose this today. If we manage to click we win comfortably.

Pissed me off the amount of noobs on Twatter who think this is the first time we’ve been in the CL or even in Europe! We fell a long way down under Fat Mike’s stewardship that’s for sure.

Maybe a picture of some gadgey wearing lederhosen.

I lived in Naples for a while. An away day there is not for the faint hearted.

Is this the way to Barcelona?

If anything we were galvanised from the disappointment at Anfield last season so let’s hope we go on a long winning run now.

I don’t have the heart to even look on Twitter.

Liverpool an official bogey team now and it’s fucking infuriating.

Against 10 men, I didn’t feel like we were going to score. A few snapshots but we never built any real momentum in front of goal.

We hardly had a shot on target. I’d argue creativity was exactly the issue. If you can’t give 10 men, sitting deep, the good news then that’s a lack of chance creation.

Howe and the players need to own this. Not seen much ‘intensity’ recently. Very poor, we struggle with too much possession as we don’t have the guile to unlock the defence.

I certainly expect to win today. Apart from City I’d expect to win every home game. This isn’t Ashley’s NUFC anymore, we’ve got a team that tries, now we want to win. I won’t be too upset if we lose after putting in a decent performance but we are rubbing shoulders with the big lads now.

No chance we lose this, I don’t expect to lose any home games now. We will win this by two clear goals.

Billy Whitehurst! From Wiki - “Whitehurst's robust style of play attracted much notoriety and he is considered by many to have been the hardest player to have played the game”.

We tried.

Understand what you are saying, I often think Grealish is somewhat constrained in that City team to some extent. I do think Gordon has something special and once he nails down a position he can call his own he’ll show his worth.

I think Gordon will be a far better player than 100m Jack Grealish.

Bloke at work, Scrum Master, has a YouTube channel about radio controlled planes with 775k subscribers. Not sure if he’s raking it in but he’s still on the stand-up every morning.

Those Youth tickets really aren’t shifting.

Did exactly the same yesterday afternoon and got two in two separate goes. Although I was refreshing the page on and off from 1000 in the morning until after 1630. I got kicked off my laptop for being ‘a robot’ so moved onto my mobile which I actually found a bit quicker, that’s when I snagged the two seats. Before that I was getting beaten to the punch trying to manipulate the mouse. Bored on Teams calls today and out of curiosity I went back in and there were a few adult tickets popping up which were snapped up almost immediately.
