We have the 15th best away form in the league this season, picking up 3 points more than Burnley on the road. 4th best home form.

Stream died and missed the goal!?

That was a terrible goal to give away.

I expect him to be our first choice left back once he settles in.

I don’t think the hotel sale has been signed off by the league yet and even if they do, UEFA are unlikely to accept it so Chelsea could be banned from European competitions.

He was picked up by Chelsea before he signed a professional contract so technically he is classed as an academy player, although it is a credit to their scouting rather than the development they put in to him.

Billy Gilmour was excellent for them. Another Chelsea academy player.

I thought we played quite well yesterday apart from the final ball which let us down, it is noticeable how we were working positions down the right but the final ball from Murphy was played in to the area rather than trying to pick out any individual. It is also noticeable in games like this how we lack a midfielder who can make intelligent late runs in to the box like Willock did last season, even if he did snatch at a lot of his chances. I didn’t agree with the decision to take Isak off, he might have been ill in the week but you have a conversation with him at half time about if he feels well enough to play the full game, judging from his face when subbed he was clearly surprised at being brought off when we needed a goal and with no striker on the bench. I have seen people say about the gap Brighton were finding in midfield that their keeper was picking out but that was because we played a more pressing game and tried to pin them in their own half rather than letting them play out, this was something that we were successful with last season when we played them at home. I don’t think Howe could have done much different and let’s be honest, if Almiron wasn’t offside for the Gordon goal then we would be talking about how it was a master stroke taking Isak off, such is the fine margins at this level. Brighton were decent too by the way.

Reya is borderline elite with the ball at his feet and distribution, compared to Ramsdale who is borderline very good. When you are at that level it is about fine tweaks to the system and play. As for our goalkeeper situation, we need to bring someone in as Dubs does not suit the style of play we want and there has to be some concern around Pope and his shoulder.

£60 million would make Ramsdale the third most expensive goalkeeper of all time! He will leave for around the £30 million mark.

Did Chelsea pay Potter off completely or is he still being paid by them?

Nico Williams is on big money at Bilbao apparently.

How much would he be valued at if he had a couple of years left on his contract?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Leicester approach us about signing Barnes back this summer.

How was that not a foul on Gordon?

The push on Wilson for Isak’s goal.

Isak!

Lazy penalty

How many penalties as Gordon won in the league now?

Give it a rest, man.

Burnley started well but their confidence went as soon as we scored the opener. We could have scored 5 or 6 here.

Burnley falling apart.

Nearly a second

Good move that for the goal.

It was a great recovery tackle from Burn but it was also his man who he let casually drift away from him.
