Brighton at Home PL game 10

[Kenneth]

Midfield is woeful.

Hendo looks like he’s run a marathon. Can’t keep up with their midfield. Watched him run back a minute ago and he could barely get beyond a jog. .

[Irishnev]

Make some changes Jurgen.

Midfield miles off it - can’t get the ball to the forwards. No Fab, Thiago, Naby, Elliot, Milner……. Hendo great when we dominate the ball but no good to break it up. Ox a passenger since he came on and Jones not impacting the game

[Doc_Piptorious]

Alisson has been excellent today. All season to be fair.

True but the list of missing names is telling. Our best CM in FAB being out and then Thiago and Keita, probably our two most press restistant CMs, not on the pitch either against a team that is pressing us hard.

[danperkins]

Konate you lucky boy, awful awful performance.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Trossard goal ruled out

Phew

[Kenneth]

It’s a lack of pace that’s our real issue. None of the midfield has any.

[BootRoom]

Playing with fire here.

[~LFCHistory~]

Lucky escape ??

VAR checking...

[Doc_Piptorious]

Think I would sooner have seen Matip come on instead of Chamberlain and played as a DM as he did a few times at Schalke. Might be a massive gamble but would surely offer more of anything at all than Chamberlain does.

[dizzycat]

Need Tmi. One for set pieces, two Robbo looks knackered.
