Phoenix Blue

Absolutely the flow of this team is not the same when he is playing

Yes it was

It may have been offside or not, but another gift from a free kick that wasn't defended properly

No idea why we keep changing our center backs, its one area where you need consistency and stability.

Sell Bats now, how on earth did he not score

He ( Bats)has missed two golden opportunities with his head from two crosses from James, the first he should have buried, the second was harder but again he should have hit the target. James is having a cracker and what a relief it is to see someone cross a ball to perfection. By the way never a penalty, but at least the offside was given.

Yea I get that, but aside from Brighton the others were all on a terrible run of form, and then we become Father Christmas to change their fortunes for the better. Apart from Bournemouth of course.

Just think of the points we have dropped against WH, Soton and Bournemouth, all at home, then today away against Brighton. I know its a learning experience for the team and Frank this season but I think with all respect to those teams, you could have expected at least we should have won those home games, given the point today that would have been 10 points more than what we have right now. Looking at the table right now we would be second and one point in front of Leicester.

Said it at the end of the first half we cannot kill teams off when they are at their worse. It was always going to be this same old story, we just can't keep a clean sheet and we do not know how to finish. Game management was IMO poor, Pulisic should never have come off as he was always likely to be the one who would make something happen and have the balls to shoot when he had the chance, and thank you Kepa for keeping the score down.

Again I agree with this

Agreed, he is the only who wants to shoot

I know mate but I suppose I have got so used to delivering such high performances. Fair point!

I must be watching a different game, Brighton have been awful and once again we fail to capitalize on it. Many passes going astray in the final third, wrong decisions being made, all this while Brighton have been crap. Some one said Kante was winning everything, he does, but then gives the ball away. Still we are winning and I hope we can put this to bed very soon.

Slightly off tangent but how the **** did we get beat by Bournemouth at home. Watching them right now playing Brighton their defending has been awful and how its only 1-0 to Brighton I will never know.

You know whats so frigging annoying is putting in an amazing performance against Spurs, then we come back and perform like crap and just flush it down the toilet. Results like this would have another manager in serious trouble. How do you play a back three against a team like Soton, to be honest the team selection today left me flabbergasted. I at a loss as to why this keeps happening, and I am sure we will go and beat Arsenal on Sunday just to keep us totally confused, reminds me of the Chelsea team of old, beat the ones we don't think we can beat, then lose to the average ones, so unpredictable.
