The common denominator with both Bournemouth and Brighton is that they have extremely good tactical managers that have enabled them to over perform. We have a better team but tactically they have both got the better of us recently. That needs to stop on Sunday.

A lot of our well known weaknesses on view here.

Back to football. Everybody talks about Guehi being bought to play as a Right Centre Back and eventually replace Schar and yet I've never seen him play there either for Palace or England. Maybe we were planning on buying him to replace or as an upgrade on Botman. That's a far more interesting subject that what's being discussed in here.

So many insipid boring games where the best option is to fall asleep during the match or at least do something else at the same time.

They're micromanaged to an inch of their lives, so robotic and it's symptomatic of a lot of games that we're watching nowadays. Gary Neville.

Neither is Jones

FINALLY.

Everton are considering a summer move for Newcastle's 27-year-old English midfielder Sean Longstaff. (Talksport) New Arsenal director of football Andrea Berta wants to make Newcastle's 27-year-old Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and Real Sociedad's 26-year-old Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi his first signings. (AS - in Spanish), external Barcelona also have Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes high on their list of summer transfer targets. (Football Espana)

He can only play in one position and in one way, and Gordon starts instead of him and Big Joe should start ahead of him when Gordon is out.

It's not just players we need IMO it's a different much more possession based football if we are to progress and that will mean buying more technical players rather than athletes.

That's really not good by Tino on their winning goal.

They were tactically and technically better than us all game and deservedly get the win. Our season is looking a bit cooked at the moment.

Stupid player, stupid club.

This didn't survive the next 20 minutes

Had to go and find Miley on the second page. I think he flies under the radar a lot, he's not flashy, doesn't get into fights and get booked, he just gets on with it. He finds space and virtually never wastes a pass. He's press resistant and never seems hurried. He does need to get more involved, the more we ask him to do the more he'll show what a good footballer he is. Not at all sure what his best position is yet but that will come.
