Conjo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 1 minute ago, Andy said: Thought we were miles off it and completely lacked intensity, looked like we expected an easier game than we got. Maybe some of the players got comfy after a relatively easy opening match against Forest? I also felt we should have been able to up our tempo a bit to match Brightons pressing better. They were first to nearly every second ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Sounds like we didn't play that well but a point away to Brighton is a solid result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 When ASM is off his game we look weak. Looking forward to a forward joining the club for these situations and to balance the load Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just now, ponsaelius said: Think it's important not to overreact or be too upset. Brighton are a good side, it was 31 degree heat, and we're the long distance travelling away side. Everything Howe wants them to do was still there I think, just far too many players not able to get anything right whatsoever. Lots of missed challenges, sloppy giveaways and general poor passing broke down the structure of our game and we never really got going. Despite that we've took a clean sheet and a point. The main thing is how clearly we need at least 2 attacking reinforcements. Yup. Easy to get lost in a crap performance but it's not like we've not played well against better sides under Howe. The XI today is much more capable than they showed. Not a good one, sometimes it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'd have taken an away draw against Brighton all day long. We can't play like 1970 Brazil every gsme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It wasn't a terrible performance by any means, we just looked half a second off the pace throughout most of it and uncoordinated going forward. Cross everything that it's just a poxy day at the office and not a sign of things to come. Brighton are so well drilled, like - well 6 have definitely had a good season if we finish above them. They move the ball so well and are absolute fuckers out of possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Really important that we are becoming a team that can still pick up a point when we haven't played well. Really glad for Botman getting a clean sheet first time out. Big props to Nick Pope as well for getting us the point today. No goals conceded first two games and 4 points on the board. Decent.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thought we had the right ideas at times but were very sloppy in our execution. No doubting the heat played its part. Rode our luck at times and given we usually get spanked there, I’m happy with the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be too harsh on the players because I didn't think Brighton were any good either and it looked like all of the players were suffering with the heat and agitated. Pope - 8.5 Trippier - 5.5 Schar - 7 Botman - 7 Burn - 8 Bruno - 5.5 Joelinton - 5.5 Willock - 5.5 ASM - 5 Wilson - 4 Almiron - 6.5 Really surprised to see Wilson with a 4, don't think he was the worst of our players by any means at all.

pubteam Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We didn't seem too bad in the first half, second we just seemed to run out of energy and ideas. We desperately needs some more quality, noticed Maddison scored again today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It no surprise that Bruno and Joelinton had their worst games in ages. Brighton are brilliant out of possession. A very good side who just lack forward players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Pope man of the match, shortly followed by Joelinton for me, then Miggy. Fairly poor game on our behalf, but shows the importance of discipline, rigidity, understanding the system, intensity, everything we didn't have with Bruce. Would have lost 3 or 4 nil today under Bruce. Both teams lacking quality in the final third, think the heat played its part too. All in all, a great result, another clean sheet, one of our top 10 difficult fixtures done for the season and unbeaten. Free punch at City now.

54 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 On a serious note, I legitimately think the kits played a massive part in that, there where multiple occasion where both sides played it to the other team, at the start of the second half a Brighton player player a through ball to Trippier for instance.
