No one made a thing about possession on the feed I was watching, and I didn’t mention it either. Throughout the second half in particular, they were cooing over Brighton's movement, quick turnarounds and intensity. At the end they summarised the second half display as Brighton's "beautiful football". Everyone knows that possession tells you very little about how good or how successful a team is.
He and Ayari have been our least clinical players I reckon. Ferguson too though he’s had far fewer minutes.

Mitoma, Georgino, Ayari and Dunk are underperforming their XG the most, in that order (I appreciate this isn’t a perfect stat).
I used their references to possession football as an illustration of what London Irish neatly describes as a lagging indicator. But it is also well applied to 'beautiful football'. There hasn't really been much of that in evidence lately - yet it still gets trotted out by the commentators.
The Guardian was quite cutting: In the first half only West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Brighton’s João Pedro looked at all inclined to shock the game into life, with Bowen unique in also looking able. Both ran at defenders, forced them to commit, caused moments of panic and confusion, but João Pedro’s habit was to keep the ball until the confusion spread also to himself.I didn’t like Pedro strolling about with the ball yesterday. Didn’t seem to know what he was doing

I like Minteh he’s raw yet causes havoc yesterday we played to his strengths he needs the ball to run onto as Slot said.
You can’t blame them with already achieving Europe why wouldn’t they? Bloom has the same high expectations would you doubt him and say he’s being entitled?Not a bad performance, and a decent result.
Wieffer had a very good game, but one performance won’t shut up the scapegoaters (although I see one of them has moved on to Gruda
With the chances at the end we could’ve nicked it. Like I said a couple of times before the game, I don’t like Pedro as much playing as the lone striker and I thought he and Georginio had poor games.
Not surprised by some of the negativity on here, not because it’s deserved, but because sections of our fan base are becoming bizarrely, unduly expectant about success.
He knows this, it’s trolling.
We’ve been over this. I made a whole thread about it, the OP has nearly 50 likes breaking this down in detail. You replied to the thread several times.
