Have they been in a worse position at this stage and still stayed up? Still not convinced, though I do think Sam is starting to have the desired effect at Palace and Swansea and Leicester are turning it around too.

Thing is with Rafa aswell in the past hes managed to get a hell of a lot out of average players too, which means in every situation we're likely to have well drilled and decent players to rely on.

Can't have a dinner without drowning it in mint sauce, vinegar can be a shite replacement if desperate.

24% possession and we rarely looked troubled

That's an awful post, even by your standards. Typically cracking time, though. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Saved a pen so makes up for the countless goals hes been conceding.

Calamity Krul letting in goals left right and centre at the minute.

What if in those next 3 games he has poor games? Ship him back to Chelsea? There is no evidence to back your hypothetical question. However, I have proof he get's better with each game he starts He played 5 straight games at the African cup 2015 and 2017 He ended up as MVP in 2015 and in the top 11 players in 2017 Ah yes, but you said in the match thread that Atsu should not start in the next game as he failed to score, why would you say this if you were so confident he would go on a run? Verdict- Ship him back to Chelsea. don't I have the right to change my mind? Not 3 or 4 times in the space of a match thread

I still refuse to write him off as hes contributed a fair bit in games even when he hasn't scored, but Murphy should get the nod at the minute because Mitrovic hasn't been doing his main job and that's scoring goals. Still don't think hes had a solid run in the side and when he did he was performing and was dropped anyway, hes still a far better option than Gouffran.

Not writing him off and he certainly has had his decent games but I just don't think hes very good defensively, hes lucky hes fast as fuck because he can be a liability at the back at times. Anita for me, all round the better and more dependable RB.

Gouffran was god awful last night, wouldn't get in the team in any position for me.

I've always favoured Anita for the most part I just think Yedlin gets caught out too much for my liking and think Anita is the better option defensively, while I do prefer Yedlin going forward I don't think hes THAT good enough at it for it to be a big miss, I've seen Anita get forward and provide assists too, Leeds away springs to mind.

Oh hes glistening

Darlow Anita Lascelles Clark Dummett Ritchie Shelvey Diame Atsu Perez Murphy

You were saying? Couldn't care less now, pick on me though, plenty others were saying similar.

I look like a tit for what I was saying earlier, but I coouldn't give a flying fuck now

Anita has to start over Yedlin from now on man

Brighton haven't been amazing by any means but they seem to be able to do the basics, like pass and move, which we still haven't fathomed.

Rafas got it wrong again, and isn't changing it quick enough... again.

Atsu best player by far, the only bright spot going forward for me.

I dare say Rafa would have to shoulder some of the blame too if that were to happen mind.

Shelvey has been awful since that Birmingham cup game too, not much in it between him and Colback for whos been the better of the two today and thats sad.

Its not working with Gouffran up front hes clueless, get Murphy on and capitalise on the fact Atsu looks dangerous, balls into the box for Murphy is our best chance of equalising.
