Will absolutely take that, very much so. Second half was so much better than the first,  but a point is probably a fair result.

 

I was so angry when VAR spend an age on that third penalty, was certain they where going to overturn it  

Don’t even get why it mattered if anyone was offside, it was a fucking shot that was heading towards goal that he deliberately handled to block. 

[Joe_F]

The number of times we get to the byline and put a shit cross in is fucking infuriating.

[Ronaldo]

Probably our toughest remaining game so a good point. Gordon must play next week you’d think.

Didn’t see the replay but I think they should have got a pen when Tonali brought their player down? Also their late header which they should have scored. All in all happy with a point, but not with the performance. 

 

You mean when he kicked out at Tonali and fell over?  The one VAR looked at on around 75 minutes or so?

Fucking wasted all that injury time pissing about.

Pope had 2 goals kicks, each which took 30 seconds to take.

Our players just fucking pissing about on the fucking ball.

The game was there for us to win and we sat back and said ‘Brighton, do you want it?’

Honestly, our mentality can be so fucking weak at times.

No pressing, a minute left and their goalkeeper has the ball, no one pressed him.

 

[Jordan]

Cursed ground, good to get away with a point. Moving Barnes to right when Gordon comes on is pissing me off. Gordon lost his place through his own stupidity. If we’re taking Murphy off, Gordon is more suited to the right wing than Barnes. He also doesn’t link up as well with Tino on the left. 

[Bimpy474]

We deserved to win that, despite the poor final ball. They scored from one of their only two chances.

 

We were in their area so much more, now we clearly need to polish up the attacking play, but we bossed the midfield despite some of the mad takes on the game.

Performances mean fuck all but it wasn't that bad in the end. We weren't particularly effective with the ball - usually taking too long or needlessly giving it away - but we forced our way back into the game. I think that's to their credit. 

We constantly gave them the ball - they didn't have to work for their goal.  

[HawK]

Preface - big point, proud of the lads to grind that out.

 

Lots of huff but we lacked quality and sharpness on several occasions.

 

Tactical summary - I think we look unbalanced without Joelinton. For what Willock brings with energy and pace, we do lose the calmness in the middle.

 

I think we'd be more effective with Miley in there for my 2 cents.

[Dyeyzzon]

It's a good point on the road especially coming back from a goal down but that was way too stressful. Need to check my heart rate after that ffs

Arsenal away ?

[RS]

Can’t believe Brighton couldn’t beat that shitshow. 

[samptime29]

Will take that all day long. Definitely better performance second half. We didn't play well first half. Could be a vital point.

[toontownman]

Still in our hands. Deserved the point. Ground it out in the end. Bringing in more attacking quality will be a game changer this summer. Important we see CL out.

 

Our potential chance creation is wild and has been for a few seasons. We have scored and created a ton. Which makes it weird to say we need to find a way to increase our consistency in the final third. It has held us back at times and we could at least double our output with better decision making.

I thought Wilson looked the best he’s been in ages. 

Our only player to test their keeper.

[Magpie Mover]

Good point but only if Chelsea don't win.

[Stottie]

Decent point, which we fought back well to get and deserved. Possibly a little unlucky at the margins, deflected goal for them, Wieffer v. close to second yellow, six inches off Gordon penalty etc. On the other hand, 50p heed for them missed the best chance of the game.

 

Bogey ground and the curse in the league remains.

 

[Disco]

Thought Barnes was probably the best of a middling to poor bunch. Only one who showed a bit of urgency on the ball across the 90. Way too much sloppy passing and indecision from the rest. We move on.

Have you seen them recently?

[Stifler]

Absolutely can’t wait until the selling of their top players catches up with Brighton and they go down.

Fuck off back down the leagues where you belong.

[Hanshithispantz]

As much as we might have been a bit wasteful I thought Brighton defended their box really well like. There was a body in the way of everything we fired in.

they really have fucked  the game with this nonsense. Hate everything about VAR . A bunch of technocrats trying to make the game a science exam.

Will take that all day long. Really frustratingly poor performance as is tradition against this mob, so delighted with the point. Beat Chelsea and one of Arsenal or Everton and we're there.

 

Pope: 6.5

Trippier: 6.5

Schär: 6.5

Burn: 6

Livramento: 5

Bruno: 4.5

Tonali: 5

Willock: 5.5

Murphy: 5 Gordon: 6

Isak: 6

Barnes: 7

 

 

 

 

Agree with most of these but I’d mark Willock down massively for the dive
