It was a calculated risk to get a win, which rebounded on us.

Just reported on BBC Radio Sussex that RDZ got a red card in the tunnel for having a go about the timewasting/lack of added time.

Too gung ho then. A point wouldn’t have been a disaster
Ultimately, losing games like that brings our failure to recruit in Jan into the spotlight. No signings beyond a couple of kids for the future despite losing Trossard & Mwepu, and with the knowledge that Welbeck and Lallana would inevitably pick up injuries.

Oh and another thing- Tony Gale on commentary needs a bloody good slap- talked nonsense the whole game. So biased it was unbelievable

Totally agree. What we have done over the last few seasons is incredible. But thinking you don't need to replace senior players is naive and close to wreckless. We need to find more of a balance. Having five teenagers on the bench is great for stattos but ultimately a massive indication we are short on players.

Yeah we are well known for our awful recruitment and this just proves it.

I haven't bought into any of this Europe nonsense but why is there now no chance?
Losing one game has genuinely wiped out any chance in your mind or are you just a bit hacked off about this game and result like the rest of us?
Surely mathematically, at this point in the season if we had a chance yesterday we still have a chance today.
Don't be daft. lol.

Good man Roberto.
I don't mind that.

The most curious thing..
De Zerbi was sent off after the game for annoying the referee in the tunnel

I agree. In hindsight a mistake, but I see what RDZ was trying to do. In his defence it was a ridiculous mix up between Undav and Buonanotte (I think it was them) on the break that led to them breaking on us.
I thought we were good for 70 minutes until the change. Several players not quite on it today, including Ali Mac and Karou. Solly was sublime until the last 20. Really hope I'm wrong about Undav but still think he's a poor man's Hemed at this point. Somebody compared him to Baldock on here - cannot see that comparison as they're completely different body shapes and Super Sam scored some of the best goals seen at the Amex. Boy that man could hit a ball.
Anyway, I digress. Less concerned about Fulham leapfrogging us and happier that Chelsea lost as I see them as the bigger threat as I can only see Potter turning things around OR they get rid and get a manager who does before the end of the season. Onwards and upwards. Still positive.
It doesn’t happen occasionally though. How many times have we seen games like this over the last few years? We can’t claim to be unlucky if the keeps happening. We have a problem converting our chances and we make sloppy mistakes at the back at crucial times. Very frustrating.

They have to do something about fake head injuries. Would like to see Var checking every one for head contact and ref giving a yellow every time there is none.

Excellent is being good in both boxes. We know our build up play is first class, we just need to do the hard bit and put the ball in the net.
