100% with this. If we won the Carabao Cup it would probably be the greatest moment in our history after Hereford. I hate it when another chance of silverware passes us by. This is one we actually could win.I totally agree. Some idiotic comments.
I’d be delighted to win the League Cup.
Can't argue with any of that. Pedro was always involved, but constantly dispossessed and that was a really bad miss. Fati had the same chance he had at Man U - he had about 15 minutes to tee it up and tuck it away, but telegraphed his finish to the keeper when he had the WHOLE GOAL gaping.I cant remember who gave it away but Igor was the main culprit for the goal from what I saw. Randomly ran up the pitch and totally took himself out of the game. Obviously early days but his decision-making/lack of awareness is a bit of a worry. Needs a few games with Dunk/Veltman alongside him.
Joao Pedro had an absolute stinker, and doesn't particularly bode well that Fati has now missed three sitters in four appearances...

And those poor City players are on a luxury coach heading back as we speak. Those poor souls.Man City are out and Chelsea home to Blackburn. Could have been interesting
Facu obviously has talent and desire but jesus, he gets shrugged off the ball so easily. Championship loan would've been perfect for him, but I suspect he's still struggling to adapt to life in Brighton, let alone living out of boxes at a Travel Tavern in some northern shitehole.Can't argue with any of that.

And at the risk of going David Lopez, I'm still not sure what Buananotte is for. He can't play wide right, because ALL he ever does is cut inside into traffic and lose it. He's not got the presence or positional nouse yet to play centrally. I appreciate he is only a child, but he looks a long way off being a 1st teamer right now IMO.
I thought we just did?Totally but would rather lose to a L1 team.
I'm not totally writing him off yet as its a nonsense not to trust our recruitment, and Enciso took a while to settle and adapt. But I agree he needs to beef up and adjust to the physicality of this League before he can start showing his skills. At the moment he just looks WAY off it. I'll mark him down as a work in progress, hopefully he'll come good, but I've not even seen flashes so far tbh (unlike Baleba, who looks like a real prospect already).Facu obviously has talent and desire but jesus, he gets shrugged off the ball so easily.

Adingra ! That's a bit of a reach.A desperate Poch at the biggest spending club on the planet, made just 4 changes plus 1 enforced. With home advantage.
Whilst we didn’t start with:
Veltman
Webster
Dunk
Ferguson or Welbeck
Gilmour
Adingra
Nothing to be ashamed of. With a heavy fixture list unlike the Chavs, RDZ took a punt and it didn’t come off.
We know by now that Dunk + Veltman = wins.
I think we can all feel for the little poppets!And those poor City players are on a luxury coach heading back as we speak. Those poor souls.
he needs some serious gym work and plenty of minutes playing European men’s football on loan away from the spotlight. Really bad decision to keep him here this season.I appreciate he is only a child, but he looks a long way off being a 1st teamer right now IMO.
I thought FB had a good first half but he lost his way after the break. Surprised he wasn’t replaced earlier - but there you go, while we wanted to win I think we also saw this as a development game and had to balance those two thingsPositives: JPVH, Pedro, Tariq, Karou, Pervis, and Karou roasting Cucutwatface.
Negatives: Thought Baleba looked a few games from being ready, gave it away a lot. Dahoud also looked lazy and wasteful until Billy came on. Buonnanote I have defended a lot but tonight showed he is a long way from being physically ready for this level. It’s actually unfair putting him in there at the moment. Should be off on loan getting stronger and minutes. Fati missing another sitter.
Yep first time Sanchez breathed easy all nightBottom line is if you miss 4 decent chances then you really aren't going to progress. A lot of players looked light weight tonight a nf bringing on lalana to chase the game said it all.
