  1. That’s absolutely offside. He’s chasing the ball and ends up almost on top of it when Fernandes puts it in. Baffling.
  2. What’s worrying is we brought on five players who have played a lot of premier league games this season and looked worse than the fringe ones. Terrible performance. Emery and the powers that be have got their work cut out in January.
  3. France were there for the taking. I don’t think we were positive enough. Seemed too worried about Mbappe in the first half especially.
  4. The Brighton player on the left has been offside all game. Lino hasn’t given one of them.
  5. Not for me. That’s no where near as clear as Carragher is making out.
  6. Counted at least three Brighton yellows that should have been issued so far.
  7. Night and day in terms of a performance compared to Thursday. It was noticeable how wide Bailey and Watkins were to start with. It gives our midfield so much more space to work in. So many players had great games but I thought Luiz was absolutely fantastic in midfield. Him and Dendoncker seemed to win every second ball in the first half. The pressing from the front was fantastic too. Bailey looks so much more comfortable on the left wing.
  8. Well he’s not wrong. However I think he’s pal Gerrard had quite a large input into that strategy.
  9. This is another embarrassment for VAR. Admitting they can’t even make the right decision with the replays. It was silly from Luiz but I didn’t think it was a red at the time. Both players made contact with each other’s chest.
  10. I mean we’ve been crap and deserve the score line. But the officiating in the last ten minutes has been a disgrace.
  11. Bizarrely I think we have a goal in us here. However it’s more from errors from Fulham. That picture of them all sitting on the touch line just about sums it up.
  12. This is a mess at the moment. Attack v defence. What is the plan?
  13. I’ll be surprised if they sack him now. I think after Fulham/Brentford is a possibility. Let’s face it though, we’ve seen no progress on the pitch at all, and we’ve gone backwards this season. As knee jerk as it felt at the time, I was all for sacking him after Bournemouth. We were having major problems with Beale here, but since he has left we seem to have given up playing any football whatsoever. Gerrard seem to not have any idea what to do with any of our players. Throwing on all the strikers last night was right out of the Bruce/Lambert playbook.
  14. Predictably dire. No patterns to any of our play. A lack of any sort of goal threat. It’s been the same all season, yet I fear we will have to put up with this for a few more games yet.
  15. The last two and a half games have been a geniunely awful watch. Front three just aren’t in the game but I have some sympathy. Formation isn’t right and hasn’t been since late 2021.
  16. How many late tackles have they made? First one we made was in the book.
  17. Got it right this evening. Good performance and we looked like a team. Big test is the next two games now. We must start winning.
  18. Great performance. Thought back four were superb for the most part, special mention to Ashley Young. Thought Luiz and Watkins had brilliant games as well. There was a real work ethic to the side today that seemed to be missing. Atmosphere really good. Hopefully we can build on this now.
  19. That interview was a shocker. Players can’t be happy about that let alone anything else that’s going on.
  20. Even Bailey’s cameo yesterday proved how dangerous he could potentially be out wide. However, I expect 4-3-1-2 will be the preferred formation.
  21. His big decisions are looking really poor. Feels strange to say this early in the season, but next week is a massive game for him. We should be beating the Everton side on paper (judging on the one they’ve put out today). Lose that and he is under massive pressure with four or five tricky games afterwards.
  22. Bizarre. If Chambers was playing today there would be some logic to it. Konsa had a really poor season and had been in rehab for an injury for first small part of pre season.
