It's not the first time I've heard the [well-defeated] manager describe it as their worst performance (of the season, their managership, the year, whatever).

IMO its a micro-disrespect.

Apologies if fixtures.

Literally their heaviest defeat both this season and under Maresca though. I don’t see any disrespect in what he said.

If you saw the tactical video after the cup game, you can see we did exactly the same again. Chelsea could only go sideways to the wings or backwards. Masterclass again from Brighton, it wasn't just Chelsea were shit.

They also didn’t manage a shot on target. As good as we were last night, a team with aspirations of a top 4 finish should absolutely manage a shot on target.

And that would be the case against any opposition. Still nothing disrespectful in Maresca saying they were awful, he’s right.

Likewise, losing 7-0 to Forest was our worst performance of the season hands down, there’s no disrespect to Forest in saying that, it’s just a fact.

They only managed 1 in the cup match. Just 1 shot on target across 2 games against us.

Ignoring the Forest debacle:

* Man Utd away: 1 shot on target conceded
* Everton at home: 1 shot on target conceded
* Chelsea at home in the cup: 1 shot on target conceded
* Chelsea at home in the league: zero shots on target conceded

Two of the above were penalties.

We also conceded only 1 shot on target away at Norwich - but 3 away at Ipswich.

Unless I missed something, he didn't have a positive word so say about us unlike Pep, Klopp and others. That together with what he said in the interview and before about Fab to me was the disrespect. No class.

Remember big Ange saying spurs capitulation against us was worst game they'd had under him.......... think they've had much worse since

Yes, they should have but we didn’t let them also speaks volumes.

A team will only play as well as it is allowed to play and we for the most part played the game on our terms. To our credit we gave them very little room for manoeuvre.

Don't take it personally; most of them do this. Arteta is one of the worst, Moyes by far the best. Eddie Howe is one of the better ones IMO too.
