Did nowt for me, today. Again.

Seriously? I thought he looked our best player when he came on. Kept getting the ball forward, link play was tidy, looked like he really wanted to get involved, and even if you don't agree with that his delivery for Schär's disallowed goal was more than 'nowt'.

Aye he was our best player after coming on. Not sure he can be blamed for us not make more of the decent balls he was playing into the area.

The lack of control over our midfield, particularly later second half and ET, was with him slap in the middle of it. Maybe my standards are higher than some others but when we needed someone to grab it by the scruff of the neck, he didn't do it, not for the first time lately either.

I think being rested will be great for his game. Not only to keep him fresh, but also a reminder that you are only as good as your last game.

Probably played about 75 minutes today. :D

Strangely I thought he really did try to take the game by the scruff of the neck and mostly succeeded. If the result had gone our way people would have said he was getting back to his best.

Yeah. I thought he was a minor positive from today. Along with Tino at left back and Dubravka. Before they were sadly both at fault to some degree for Brighton’s second goal.

I thought he was terrible for the first 5 minutes and then settled well into the game and was one of our better players. Just wish he would give the ball quicker sometimes because he can do it.

He was the only one in the whole game actually looking to create today. He was trying everything to get the team going. I also thought Tonali played better when Bruno came on

Gave his all to make something happen.

 

Unfortunately it looked impossible with us having to rely on Willock, Murphy or Wilson for the final touch.

People talking about selling a player we hadn’t won a game without until very recently. Righto.
 

Some cunts on here would want rid of their gran the first time she burns the roasties.

 

I don't want to sell him, he's one of our best players without a doubt. But he's also 27, so like Barnes there will be a window to maximise his resale value.

 

Sorry to have to put this here, but I can guarantee if we are still hamstrung by PSR next season, the club will have to consider a sale if a big offer comes in. Right now we are being pushed to operate like Brighton, not Chelsea.

Think he seems better suited to controlling the ball and passing it, probing for openings but that’s not really our game. When our midfielders get the ball the forwards run away from the ball, always hoping for a Hollywood pass. They rarely come off as that is the nature of such high reward/low probability of success passes. He seems a bit more reluctant to just bang it forward and hope than some of our other players so that’s why I think it looks like he’s slowing it down a bit. Because a good clean pass is not on.

Always looks better with Big Joe next to him. Covers his lack of legs.
