Chelsea at homd have played Sheff Utd in their first game back in the Prem, a Leicester team that will go third with a win tomorrow and Liverpool who have won 7 from 7. We haven't been stuffed 0-8 like Watford against City last week. If you think we SHOULD get something away at Chelsea then you are delusional I'm afraid. They are paying 18 year olds more than our highest earners!
We were a crossbar away from equalising which would have turned the game on its head and who knows what would have happened. We didn't score and Chelsea scored a second that on another day gets deflected for a corner. A lot of over reacting on here tonight in my opinion. In general I think we are playing our best football since we've been in the Premier League, we just need to learn to be more clinical.
All rational stuff, you’re right. But Potter admitted we’d been outplayed, Lampard said it should’ve been a far higher score and Radio Sussex said it could easily have been 5, 6 or 7 - nil.
It was not a close competition, unluckily decided by fine margins. Brighton were outclassed by a team containing top internationals and the cream of former development players.
I’m not depressed about that. Winnable games start soon, then we’ll soon find out where our destiny lies next season.
