Bompeter Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hate players who have no concept of their own limitations. Murphy's an appalling striker of the ball on his strong foot, never mind his left. SLAG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Murphy's finishing is dogshit as usual - one that we need to loan out or sell in the summer, need to have better players for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Good half. Been decent as fuck going forwards but a bit ropey at the back without them creating too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Far from our best performance, but 2-0 up and could easily have been 4 really. Guess we’re just pretty good now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Look dangerous every time we attack. Krafth still gives me nightmares every time he plays though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Imagine this with trippier in place of Krafth and ASM in for Murphy. That’s tantalising. We look so well coached. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krafth is sadly giving them too much room on his side, other than that its been pretty good. Letting them come up and try to break away has been working so far. But im afraid of Krafth's side and Shelvey having a old Shelvey game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 We weren’t at our best by any means, but came in 2 nil up. I’ll take that. Bruno and ASM double sub 10 mins into 2nd half Eddie 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 2-0 up and we've got ammunition on the bench if our performance doesn't improve in the first 15 minutes. We've got this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Weird game, feels like our midfielders have been chasing shadows for the most part, the two wide players have been a real threat bar Murphy's finishing. Still...2-0. I'l take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Brighton controls practically every match they play, which makes us not look so good in general play, but this seems to be the recipe to beat them. Solid organisation in the back, quick, effective counter attacks due to their high pressing. Well played by Howe imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Not been our best (although far from poor), think there's a goal in Brighton. Poor decision making from Murphy when the pass to Murphy was on. Nice to have options on the bench mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I watched the Brighton Burnley match the other week and it was one of the weirdest 3 nils I'd ever seen. Brighton completely dominated the match nearly everywhere. So far this is quite similar tbh, a strange 2-0 lead. Would say we need to control the midfield more and stop allowing them space, but then maybe that's part of the plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Next goal crucial, 3-0 and it's over, 2-1 and it'll get nervy. I'd make a proactive change and get either Bruno on for Shelvey and/or ASM for Murphy. Manquillo for Krafth later on. EH doesn't typically make early changes though. Big win here for us if we can do the right things second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get Bruno and St. Max on sooner rather than later to control the midfield and punish Brighton on the counter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 What a weird half of football, we've been 2nd best yet we're 2 up and should be 3. Our midfield has been pretty poor to be honest and where most of our issue have come from, Shelvey has been sloppy and off the pace, would like to see Bruno replace him, and Willock has been anonymous but hopefully he grows into the game like he tends too, Joe has been beastly again mind. Wood, Fraser and Murphy have been full of pressing, and our defense has been solid, Burn being solid as a rock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Wish we'd at least try and play possession a bit better. Can't even put my finger on why we don't because most of the players are comfortable on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Wood was brilliant for that first goal mine. Exactly what you’d want from a lone striker on the counter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Possession merchants this lot. Our mid 3 not quite on their A game so far. Nothing daft and we should get more chances on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Think Bruno needs to come in and see if he can stamp some authority on the middle of the park because we're second to everything here and the passing has been sloppy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
