At home, nice 1.45am kick off time, might have had a few by kickoff :ohmy:

August 8th. Why do you ask?

He's not turning down Manchester United. He's not turning down Barcelona. He's not turning down Liverpool. He's not turning down Bayern Munich. If they want him, he'll go. If they don't, he'll stay. He can't say I'm staying because it would be a lie if a big team came for him. He can't say...

Well he played as a wing back, and he stuck to his wing well. Our best move of the first half came down the right when he played a one-two with Fati and got into a great position to shoot, unfortunately he didn't connect the shot with any power. I was comparing him mainly to Hinshelwood when...

I'm going to die on the hill that Peupion was quite good last night :p

I do feel sorry for Jason - the mistake was an awful ricket, one of the worst howlers you'll see, and it ultimately cost us the match. No getting away from that, but keepers make mistakes, that happens, you move on. it is what it is as a wise man often said. But the miss at the end, that will...

Yeah, but as been said elsewhere, this feels a little by design - we keep our shape so teams can't counter us. Its a bit of a stalemate in our development under RDZ and I don't think its a coincidence we are starting to look like a mid-era Potter team again.

I'd actually argue that in fact its us who are taking the time to reorganise, in order to prevent getting hit on the break - its something we've been doing for a while now. I look at the West Ham away game, the Everton game, the Palace games, last night - we've been slower and more deliberate...

I wish this advice had been taken on about a year ago when the best young goalkeeper I ever seen at the club was going through a rough patch.

How to beat a low block.. 1) be good at 'winning' penalties 2) be good at scoring direct free kicks from outside the box, or otherwise smacking them in from distance 3) be deadly on the counter 4) have players who can take on and dribble past defenders Thats pretty much how the likes of City...

Well we did, we signed Dahoud who was by and large fine, albeit not amazing, but after his red card against Sheffield RDZ didn't want to play him anymore. Whatever happened there is not really down to the recruitment team.

Caicedo was signed a good year and a half before his debut, Mac Allister was similar, Bissouma had a few games early under Hughton but also took a couple of seasons at least. The most complete DM we have bought in the premier league is Gilmour and he was only a bench player for the first 30...

So you can slag off the youth player like you normally do ?

I really must have been watching a different game to everyone else as I thought Peupion was one of the bright points in the first half. Playing out of position he took up good spaces, good control of the ball, simple passes, played a couple of nice one-twos with Fati, good play to get that...

I think that RDZ is on the same management path at Brighton as Potter followed - started brightly, change of style, lots of nice football, but becomes susceptible to goals on the counter. Changes things up defensively but in doing so stop scoring at the other end... this is where RDZ is now...

What was wrong with Peupion? I thought he was good?

Goalkeeper drops an easy catch gifting the opposition the only goal of the match = in no way to blame for the result ??? I think the wiring in the matrix is going awry....

Are there people disappointed with Peupion? Thought he was one of the rare positives from the evening.

I just love the nostalgia that RDZ is serving up at the moment. Feels just like 2021 with the all-passing no-scoring performance art project to the fore once again. Right at the end I thought it was genius that Steele was picked, obviously shite with his hands but great with his feet, he was...
