with this **** defensive experiment we could easily concede two, but maybe brighton aren't the team to do it.

our goal scoring papering over our defensive cracks again.

Is it weird to say that I still don't trust us 2 nil up to Brighton?

Think we have a couple more goals in us today. We so far have made Brighton look a lot worse a team than they are. They have had a few chances but by and large we look like we have a few gears left in us, and we look like we are a threat almost every time we push hard.


and they will have to try and force the game in the second half, and that will give us more space to attack into.

Probably not fair to judge him when hes playing at CB.

....2-0

Made it look easy...

It’s not based on today though. It’s based on every league away game (and too many at home) I’ve ever seen him play. Just don’t get him at all.

Anyway fingers crossed we hold out for the points. Would love to see a clean sheet as well but one thing at a time!

Coutinho's dribbling is frightening. If you were playing against him you'd want to snap him in two for making a mug of you.

[Shaggy]

Good half that. Stayed patient in the face of another very low block - we're getting better at dealing with this imo. What a goal that 2nd was. Two assists in a minute for Coutinho. Eriksen's got two all season lol. Think it's 6 goals and 6 assists in Phil's last 10.

[Buzzo]

Good half - Brighton showing zero ambition.

[Buzzo]

Salahs not scored his goal yet either.

More a case of them not being allowed to show much imo. Our lads deserve a lot of credit for that.

I think that's 3 now.

We've played well, and been comfortable.

Brighton playing one up front when we have 3 at the back is giving them nothing though. If they do go for it, it might play into our hands.

It's probably more to do with you taking a simple spectators view and only being able to value a player by goals,assists or nutmegs.

Wijnaldum is always in the line up because he's good player who always keeps the ball moving fairly quickly and presses well.

It is odd though because he also chips in with a good amount of goals and assists too, especially considering he rarely plays the advanced midfielder role nowadays.

Nice half that, hopefully Mo scores now. And Watford hold on, though given they're a spineless, gutless, cowardly nothing club I will be surprised.
