I dont know why you were all panicking when 6 minutes went up. We were totally comfortable and seen the game out really well.

Performances have to improve - Brighton didn't really have an attacking threat in that team, yet once again we sat too deep and relied on the counter far too much. Their goal shouldn't have stood, but that is neither here or there. Better teams will be out of sight if we continue to play like that. The ref was abysmal though.

Brighton play good football. We didn't really play that well as a team but the individual quality was the difference.

Our main problem as the moment is that we're not aggressive enough in our pressing. You see it time after time how our opponents can pass in to the middle and turn with the ball at their feet - without any trouble, without any real pressure on them.

Not sure if it's a Mourinho problem or not though.

He did look like a complete pollock watching the screen lol.

Definitely. I think the entire world, bar people who are blinded with favouritism, were wondering why it was taking him so long. I mean, he was stood still for 2 mins looking at two photos of himself stood still next to a player being fouled and still didn't give the damn thing :ROFLMAO:


At least we can laugh about it. It's not good for the health though, as the whole benefit-of-doubt for the "it's hard to be a ref" thing is completely gone with those scenarios, and all you feel is pure rage.

The midfield is our priority concern for me now.

We aren't controlling the middle of the park at any point. You can only get away with that for so long.

I've changed my mind on Skriniar for now. Get another CM who doesnt shy away from having the ball and can drive the team. We could sign another 2 or 3 CBs but we'd still have issues off the ball and when being pressed.

Poor performance. But we grind out another win. I hope Jose finds a way to make us more creative. Having GLC and NDombele on at the same time, and no Sissoko seems like the obvious solution
