Smal

We haven’t done very well when teams come here to defend this season, but we’ve missed Bruno and Wilson in most of those games so hopefully they’re enough to make the difference. The lack of creativity without ASM is always going to be a problem in these games. I personally like Bruno in the deeper role but I’d be tempted to play him further forward here.

Wonder if we could get Lamptey in as an understudy to Trippier. Would surely learn a lot from Trips and Howe.

Why haven’t Brighton signed anyone who can score goals?? . It’s been years.

Pope’s been dodgy since that England mistake.

Ah man. Fraser is rubbish.

this is so funny

Said it in the match thread but I still can’t believe how good he is. He’s putting out similar passing numbers to Trent this season but he can actually defend as well. He is our most important player.

If he literally carries on like this then we don't need one.

Still haven't gotten used to how good Tripper is, like.

Willock has done a couple of unreal touches today

Murph has been really good.

Not exactly sure what Big Dan was supposed to do there, like

Toney is a thug

We don't.

Really good pressing from Murph and Wilson.

No composure.

Is Toney not offside for that?

Targett has won a higher percentage of aerial duels this season to be fair.

It's not in our interests at all but I hope he gets to go to the world cup. Deserves it.

Aye. It works really well and everyone looks like they know what they’re doing.

Most key passes per 90 of any centre back in the league so far this season. Most shot creating actions per 90 too, which has come from him nearly scoring from corners. I can see him getting a few goals for us because he's incredible in the air.

I thought he was good. He's a transition player really. Carries the ball really well. More than twice as many progressive carries as anyone else on the pitch with 19. For context Bruno was next with 8 and Almiron 3rd with 4. That's really valuable work that ASM usually does. He also had 10 carries into the opposition 18 yard box. From the rest of our team, only Fraser and Anderson managed 1 of these each.

He was much better today.

It was exactly what used to happen pretty much every game he played for us. He's absolutely rubbish
