Smal

shot on target from Ramsdale?

ref wasn’t even going to give the foul, let alone a yellow

both of them got the money they wanted on long contracts and they don’t even have to work . They’ll all be doing it from now on.

their keeper literally pushing Barnes in the back and gets a free kick for it

referees are just killing football for me tbh. So incompetent it’s unreal, and it’s every single game.

sick of referees man. Every game.

Gone a bit quiet

and that is as clear a yellow as you’ll see

ref giving an offside when he can’t see behind him

Osula’s biggest issue is that he only has the stamina to do about 3 sprints before he’s a spent force. Hopefully gets a boost from the adrenaline and manages a bit more tonight.

Gordon been ill apparently

feel like it's really important that the first tackles on the likes of Pedri and Yamal send them 10 feet into the air

stumbled across something fairly interesting re our CBs and "high defensive actions" (a metric which records tackles, interceptions or clearances in the opposition half). Burn ranks 88th percentile in the league vs other PL defenders (including full backs who generally score higher in this metric), so very highly. 1.21 actions per 90. Schar 73rd percentile. Also high. 0.87 per 90. Botman 23rd percentile. 0.3 per 90. Thiaw 6th percentile. 0.18 per 90. Botman and Thiaw are our two best individual CBs imo, but neither of them are at all aggressive or proactive. It might not be a good partnership for us unless something changes with their games.

most German looking Spaniards I've ever seen!

gonna be dead breezy. Think that suits us better than them.

he got the best of Savinho 1v1 more often than not, it’s just that they were so relentless in creating that 1v1 that volume dictated Hall got beaten a few times.

incredible stuff. Absolute lol at Fulham trying to stop him at any point at 4:30 in who gives a shit that they won 5-2

Brighton’s model is collapsing or at best it has a very limited ceiling. They’re now at the point where they’re not really finding players who are good enough - or will ever be good enough - to play at the level required to progress. Watson 12m - loaned out Coppola 12m - loaned out Gruda 28m - loaned out O’Reilly 25m - loaned out Osman 15m - loaned out Cashin 7m - loaned out Yalcouye 5m - loaned out Tzimas 25m - no starts now injured Barco 8m - sold small loss Buonanotte 5m - loaned out Adingra 10m - profit Enciso 5m - profit Igor Julio 15m - loaned out They will turn/have turned a profit on some of these but that is the scope of their success. Absolutely nothing model that we should only look to replicate if we’re wanting to finish consistently mid-table alongside them. edit: the truth is that if you want reliably PL quality signings then you will need to be spending £40m a pop.

I don't think it's (primarily) a tiredness or fatigue thing to be honest. We simply don't have the players we need to develop any kind of consistency. We just have to limp through to summer and get it right.

City being phenomenal has been a large part of that

I mean they’ve objectively been phenomenal in this game since 30 minutes.

incredibly pointless individual

and as soon as we do one it’s a yellow

hate how City do cynical fouls to stop any kind of attack and it never gets punished. Refs are absolute trash.

I have no idea what Eddie was expecting with those subs, like. Bizarre stuff. So many players out of position.
