Very funny bringing a post up from 7th October 2017
Are you trolling me or just got too much time on your hands?

Both. Trolling (some) people is fun and I definitely had 30 seconds to spare to click the "Find the latest created threads" link on your profile. Probably even if it would have taken 30 minutes. Much time on my hands and not enough hands on my time. And from the looks of it likely to stay that way for a while, meaning you and I will be able to spend lots of time together.

In that case I'll put you on Ignore - cheerio weirdo.
Think he gets too much shit for that miss. He did exactly what you are supposed to do in that situation - direct at goal on the first touch. If he had tried to dribble Alderweireld or some shit I'd understand giving him some shit for the miss, but as it was... just a great block from Alderweireld. Quite pleased with his performance, he killed off a lot of seconds.

Agree. Just an amazing block, nothing wrong with the finish.
Sorry, I don’t agree.
Too nonchalant, bad miss.
Doesn’t matter, as long as he learns.

See the match?
I joke about him winning the xG.
Terrible miss. He's lucky we won tbh.
But I still rate him as one who could turn into a beast.

Anyone else feel physically sick like I did when he missed? I thought we were doomed to screw it up after that!
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
Got the feeling he was celebrating before he even struck it..........I nearly Puked !!!!
As another poster said, no harm done........but gotta take those.

Clearly he should have scored but he was unfortunate as it was a Dunk-esque block of magnificent quality.

Why oh why oh why?
Should have scored with a Rainbow Flick. No excuses.

Striker is a position where apart from the truly exceptional, (Rooney, Owen, Rashford) etc, hardly any are prolific at the top level until they are 23+
Kane, DCL, Bamford were all written off at that age
Salah got shipped from Chelsea. Lebandowski nearly went to Blackburn Gnabry couldn't get in the Stoke side
Vardy and Callum Wilson were well down the leagues at that age
I could probably think of loads of strikers who came good at around 23.
It's just a position where you need to learn harsh lessons to improve... like he just did tonight.
Every minute Aaron plays is an investment in his future
There's no guarantee he'll make it .... but to me it looks as if the ingredients are there

All I kept saying:
I can’t stop thinking about that Connolly miss
7 mins and I’ll forgive Connolly for that miss
3 mins and I’ll forgive Connolly for that miss
He seemed to act like the defender wasn’t there and he was unaware of it. Could have taken a touch, just made sure it went high, aimed in the corner more...
Feel for him there a bit but luckily didn’t matter. Hopefully won’t make a mistake like that again...
Depressing. Poor lad. Not like he missed on purpose. Twitter is a sewer.
Worth pointing out as per Naylor's Tweet, the majority of the abuse came from gamblers, which is not to say that there were not Brighton fans amongst them. It just shows the level of global scutiny these players are under.
