Brighton away. A similar record to our Liverpool away record.

It’s frustrating as they are there for the taking today.

Brighton are dog shit themselves so there's a real chance to change this for the second half. Not likely we'll take that chance mind.

There's no two ways about it. Two defeats in three is relegation form. Good job there's still a second half to play and after that only 3 games to go, not 30.

 

Good job form isn't based on 3 matches then.

[The College Dropout]

Isak has been poor. No service but not offering much either. 
 

Hate to see him chasing defenders all game. Need him to grab the game here and win it for us like. 

[nemtizz]

Midfield nowhere near good enough on the ball.

[Donut]

I just dont undertand this squad in general. How can we go from sometimes playing with great intensity to this shower of shite?

So toothless for a team fighting for a CL spot. Every player complacent.

[Ikon]

Get Miley and Gordon on. Miley can get us ticking as he can actually get the ball to move around without it looking like a struggle. 
 

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Bruno get frustrated and sent off in the second.

They look fucking gash.

We haven’t got going, but are the better team.

It took them 2 stoppage time goals to beat West Ham last week, their only win in 6 games.

If they get a European place, they’ll be shown up.

They are on the beach and we are just sitting staring at them on the sun loungers.

They’ve outplayed us this entire half.

Very "Meh" performance, should be a draw really, there hasn't been a whole lot of goalmouth action, they have done much we haven't done much.

 

We've gotten into decent positions without doing anything with it, which makes me think we can still come back and get a result, we just need to step it up.

[southernmag]

This isn't about individual performances so much as it is a team-wide mental issue that's not being addressed.

[Andy84]

Could rip my eyes out watching us at this ground. Unbearable 

[ElDiablo]

Need a Mo Diame special to get anything here. Hideously predictable going forward.

[sixx]

Howe getting it tactically wrong. Sitting back and not pressing isn’t working. Tino dropping into midfield isn’t working. Isak is isolated and Brighton are responding very well to our wing play. 
 

Get Gordon on to press their right back who’s on a yellow. Stop this inverted full back nonsense and get Isak on the ball more. We can win this come oooon.

[midds]

Doesn't happen often but Howe needs to give them a rocket at HT. We look miles off it this afternoon

No they haven't

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Didn't want champions league anyway, full of wankers.

[Alberto2005]

Willock's probably the only one to take some credit out of that half.

[andycap]

Murphy needs to sort himself out mind every cross straight to the keeper or first defender needs to switch it up.

Just won 20 out of our last 26 games but sound

We were crap there, absolutely no end product and incredibly poor on the goal. 

 

Sick to death of losing the this same bastard fixture with a whimper every season, especially when it's against nowt special like these.

 

Second half needs to be much better. I'd remove Willock who's a complete non-event as usual and probably Isak too who may as well not be there.

Yeah, Willock is a complete waste of a space now.

He’s fully checked out on us.

Multiple times the ball was right next to him with an opposition player and he didn’t chase it until the opposition player had passed him and was 5 yards away.

[Big Geordie]

I think we have done ok, but final ball hasn’t been good enough. 
 

Brighton may well be another bogey team.

It's disgraceful considering what we're fighting for.

But yet I keep seeing people say he needs to be replaced in our midfield..

With Cunha 

[Disco]

Incredibly frustrating 

[Checko]

We haven't been great but I'd say we've been the better team overall. They've basically had one chance and scored. That said it's the same old problem which is we aren't good at passing through a team and getting up the pitch unless it's on a quick counter, and Isak's always very isolated. Need him coming deeper at times and getting into the game more.

 

If Isak would come to the near post ever he'd probably also have got a goal from one of the times Murphy got to the byline.
