We're so passive when we setup this way and the crowd goes to sleep too.

 

Don't have an issue with the tactic but just something about the way the team implements it that is off.

Remember how this side used to feed off the energy of the crowd? Feels like a long time ago now.

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

We in a phase (again) when there is not enough joy in watching us play.  
 

We have no press. Teams can just play through whatever attempt we make.  

 

If a team chooses to take possession they can pass for days and we don’t get close to making a tackle. 
 

I think we’ll win today but i I miss the days when we had a proper press and could put a team under some pressure. Now we’re just waiting for a break and every pass being perfect.

Nothing annoys me more than when a throw in is taken miles away from where the ball went out of play.

Wait, what? People are blaming Schar for that?! What is Burn doing going shit or bust trying to win the ball on the touchline 45 yards from his own goal? 

Lost on me too - the attack comes down our left.  BDB went a bit headless chicken for me. 

[The Prophet]

Really poor from Gordon for the goal.

[RodneyCisse]

I think people might be overreacting here mind, been fine bar falling asleep in the last few moments.

[Menace]

Everything about us is very dull currently. The performances, the crowd, lack of communication from the higher ups. I hope it changes soon.

[ElDiablo]

Honking goal to concede.

 

Without Isak you really wonder where we'd finish across a season. Still not capable of controlling games is a worry.

[54]

Barnes has played well today, which is a big plus if he can carry it into the last part of the season.

You’ve outed yourself as an East Stand ST holder here  

 

Only thing that wakes the fuckers up

Aye. Throw miles away from where it went out, huge slice of luck with the finish, pretty incisive play from their pov. It doesn't always have to be a disgrace.

He just gives up and doesn't bother tracking back any more, so poor.

Wouldn't go that far

[Stottie]

A bit meh in terms of general play from both sides. Penno was a freebie off a rash challenge, but we were also a bit unlucky with their goal and them scoring with their only shot.

We've created better chances and would have gone two up had Barnes played in Isak a second earlier.

Agreed. Some intelligent runs and most the while. His passing and link up play has been an upgrade on Murphy. Unlucky not to get a couple of assists and all.

Yeah, a huge plus for sure.

He followed their CF there like he always does. Got done by a lucky bounce though. Schär in a tough spot but he has to step up and pray for offside or start running back a lot earlier.

[TBG]

 

Spoiler

 

[Aiston]

Barnes is looking good, created a couple of excellent chances.

 

 

[Jinky]

Brighton's passing ability and confidence on the ball is way superior to ours...........as said before, its been like this for some time.

Can't wait for that new and shiny RCB in the summer like.

Leave whoever that is exposed and he won't look up to much either. The blame aimed at Schar is somewhat misdirected imo.

[KennyUtd]

Bruno for Miley 2nd half. The young lad hasn't done anything wrong but the experience of Bruno will make a difference hopefully.

Feels like this season other teams just play us at our own game and go press for press. Turns it into a messy ping pong game and we quite often end up second best.

It’s poor not tracking the run fully, but think once that ball is being played, he’s not making up the yards and at best he’s making a challenge from the wrong side.

 

Real issues was just burn being out there and leaving the space which then makes the pass easy.

[Keggy_Keagal]

You can't play three defenders who are all well over 30 against Premier League teams with the pace of Mitoma , Minteh and Joao Pedro uptop. That's where we are as a squad .
