Utopia Parkway

Maybe Jones on. Need somebody to carry the ball between the lines and pull one of their defenders out of position.

Need a bit of energy in midfield. Henderson is some loss from there.

No pace. Shaqiri is a ghost tonight too

Its a shame we can't rest any of the midfield for tonight,

Milner is probably the only one who will sit out,

If Gini or Thiago get injured we are in trouble,

Such a shame we don't have City after the week break instead of this weekend

No sign of Naby or Jota yet

I thnk you'll have to accept that Milner is capable of playing and starting games.

Utopia Parkway

We’re more dangerous from opposition corners than our own ones.

Osmosis Jones

Thought Trent was one of our better players myself, aside from a few panicked moments on his left foot he barely misplaced a pass.

Injuries have of course been a huge problem for this side - but, even aside from that, we're just not moving around enough in the final third. You see someone walking across the line, with space in front of them, and you're just praying for them to make a sudden burst into it so someone can slide a ball through to them - but they're not making that run. That absolutely has to change.

Utopia Parkway

Too many players want the ball to feet and not enough are prepared to run in behind or at the defence. You need a balance and only Salah is prepared to do the latter.

We'll often have one of the front 3 make a run into the box and get tracked by a defender, which leaves a big gap on the edge of the box for one of our midfielders to run into...but no one ever makes that run.

Totally! The spaces are there, we've just not been brave enough to use them.

Zak Flaps

Poor first half. It's back to our early-mid January form. Worrying.
Brighton well organised and look like they'll be very hard to break down.
Our defence are pretty solid but further up the field we aren't good.
Shaqiri not really offering anything at all. Firmino not at the races.
Salah not doing a lot either.
Thiago needs to get more involved.
I can see Jones coming on at 60 mins.

Harry Palmr

I mentioned Robbo earlier not risking a run in behind. Why?

I'd like to think they are conserving energy so they can pounce late.

Charlie19

In the 2nd half we should just give them the ball and sit back, because we all know how this ends if we just keep probing as usual.

magma69

Need changes here. Could play another 300 minutes with this set up and not score. Limited options on the bench to mix it up too, no easy solution.

I thought he constantly pulled out of putting a cross in and recycled the ball instead.

On the rare occasion he did try and cross, he hit the first man.

Could nearly throw Kelliher up there for the element of surprise. He'd hardly be as bad as Bobby has been.

Bissouma is gonna end up at Leicester.

Osmosis Jones

Half this game has been spent waiting for Bissouma to get up

razorblunt

Every time the ball goes wide, it’s stopped, the person with the ball let’s Brighton reset their lines, then passes it backwards anyway.

citytillidie

Lol never a free kick

fyfe79

Davies on for Milner... move Hendo into midfield? A draw is not much good for us.

niallo27

Every single time a Brighton player goes down he gives a free kick. Absolutely shocking reffing.

RugbyLover123

There has been some incredibly soft frees in this game for Brighton. Any time anyone is touched and goes to ground it’s a foul nowadays

magma69

Playing with a bit more urgency now at least.

Utopia Parkway

Christ.

paulie21

Goodnight

And our lads never seem to go down.
That's that. No coming back now.

Harry Palmr

Utopia Parkway

Bit of a jammy one and all.

Vicxas

Oh for fcuk sake....

SlickRic

I've never seen a season of luck like it.

Honestly.

mightyreds

Typical of what we have to put up with this year attack with no danger and concede a joke of a goal

~Rebel~

That was predictable.

Pepp1989

Our performance is a carbon copy of Burnley and West brom. Slow passing for passing sake. Awful ****e.

razorblunt

What a shît goal for a shît game
Trent had no idea what was behind him there, he missed the 6’5 defender coming behind him.

machiavellianme

Where the f is Jones?

Bloc Party!

Trent ball watching is actually shocking. He looked twice and didn’t see anyone behind him and thought the ball was going out and left it

citytillidie

Liverpool should come out like Southampton and request Kevin Friend never to ref a Liverpool game

cmac2009

Trent totally oblivious to what's going on behind him.

Utopia Parkway

A couple games respite was great but this is back to the woeful run of form. Haven’t done a tap tonight.

corcaigh07

Kelleher's positioning and reaction time seemed a bit off for the goal.

retalivity

Rumours of our demise revival have been greatly exagerrated

citytillidie

Going with what he has given Brighton all night how was that not a free kick for Gini?

martyos121

Time wasting at 59 minutes, ffs.

Charlie19

Did we really think after our last two games that we were back on track.

Maybe a little;)

SlickRic

Wijnaldum goes down. Nothing. Friend just looks at him.

machiavellianme

Divock? Giving up already.

It is a lucky goal nothing you can blame the keeper about

super_furry

There's no shape or drive, need to get Henderson into modfield. I'd honestly bring on Davies now and risk playing him at the back.

They have been time wasting since the 1st goal kick

Half an hour left, plenty time to get cracking
