Very poor second half. Really disappointed. So many dreadful individual performances, Mwepu, Sanchez, Cucurella, Maupay, Mac Allister. Not angry, just so disappointed.

Think the tracker will need recalibrating. Assume fewer points against bottom clubs, but more against the better clubs.

I know not playing a recognised striker last week at Liverpool worked and we got a great draw, but I was expecting us to start with one tonight at home in a match I thought we would have a good chance of winning. Not sure whether I want to see us persist with this formation, at least not at home.

90% right but Trossard was very good and some great stuff from Lamptey . Torssard 8 , Lamptey 7 and the rest 5s

Surprised Callum Wilson didnt move heaven and earth to get back on his feet after the trip - he was still the closest to the ball and could still have scored.

Just terrible to scrape a draw at Home vs. a useless bunch of Championship destined stiffs.
I were Potter I would be doing the Fergie Hairdryer Treatment around now...

That got too funky.
It is time to get back to what we do best.
3 centre backs. Cuc and lamptey wide. Then biss lallana Maupay and tross with one more.
That was such a disappointing display. So complacent.
Oh well. We would have taken this after 11 games.

WORST performance by far from us for a long time. So many stray passes and gutless near their box.
Maybe Sanchez needs this break.
Feels like a heavy defeat.

Outside of Welbeck we only have small strikers lacking any kind of physical presence. They also are't anything special in the pace department.
Trossard is really the only one who shows a bit of trickery in the box.
Pretty sure the game plan today wasnt "please give the ball away in dangerous situations over and over again".
I guarantee Potter is absolutely furious right now.

Well, that was a hard watch on BT Sport. I couldn't get to the game so I had the pleasure of listening to Jermaine Penis as the official accredited Toon commentator. I assume ours was missing on the A1.
On 60 minutes, almost on cue, we stopped pressing and en masse moved 20 yards towards our goal. You'd hope that wasn't coached but it certainly looked like it. And we all know what followed.
The shittiest second half performance for a while.
Oh, and Maupay's yellow was a travesty.

All I can say is that supporting Brighton is never boring! I wasn't able to be there and I listened on the wireless. When JC and Warren are talking about Lewis putting on the GK gloves it actually made me love our club even more! Crazy, but so fun and we're 6th!!

Well then maybe he needs to change his tactics to ones that don't expose the players inconsistent lack of skills then.
I bl**dy well hope so
