Bloke is diabolical. Caves under the slightest bit of pressure and when you ask him to be normal, he sh*ts himself. Every French player we have signed has been a complete clown when things get tough. Do they just not know how to step up when things get a bit tough?

Once Palestra gets in the team, we will be even more open at the back. This is why we need another midfielder similar to Caicedo. The three upfront will create tons of chances and there will be a lot of danger coming from the wings, now we need that steel in midfield to protect that backline.

On the plus side, if Sanchez was in the side, we would’ve probably drawn or lost that game.

We lost both those fixtures last season. (Fulham away and Brighton at home) We've played 2 games and are 6 points better than last year. Let's keep that run up against Arsenal

Ah I see Sconnie post and I have hope it means transfer news. Shame.

Really enjoying watching us play again. If we can keep winning while we learn then perfect. Going forward we are a threat every time. Happy to concede possession. If we tighten up at the back( and let’s be honest a couple of fluky goals tonight) we will scare teams. Can’t wait for the next game, ain’t been like that for years.

Games will be exciting this year. As good as we’ve are with the ball, without it we will get found out by better teams Joao Pedro has started the season in top form Gusto in midfield doesn’t work, hope Caceido injury is just a niggle Nice to have six points on the table, 34 to safety😊

Credit to Xabi on picking up 2 wins for the first 2 games, especially beating Brighton, with all the Enzo stuff going on causing issues it will have been hard to keep the group fully focused. That said he and the coaches have to get our defending, as a team, sorted. There will be games our attack does not fire. You don't win titles with a bad defence.

Tbf what's Alonso meant to do with that midfield? Caicedo obviously not fit and Enzo about to be sold. Palestra has been brought in to play RWB and he isn't fit yet so we've whacked Neto there who can't defend.

We completely lost the midfield battle and no point did we have control of the midfield not one. Them completely dominated the midfield and we have no answer at all.

Agreed. I feel like we lack a decent leader in the team to actually pinpoint when the team needs to defend. I’ve never been convinced with Colwill and his performances.

Need the midfield sorted ASAP Our defence needs a lot of time to build the chemistry because it's been a merry go round of people switching off

New midfielder needed badly.

We need a decent leader. Chelsea have constantly failed to replace JT, Gary and Dave. Miss seeing a defender going into a tackle like Terry.

The way Colwill is playing, he could easily be dropped too. I think the problems in defence are both because of the players and Alonso not getting the balance right between defence and midfield. The midfield doesn't protect the defence, there is no out ball either. We head the ball away and it would just go straight back to Brighton. Nobody was there to win the 2nd balls, we had no DM, just two CM's that had zero defensive awareness.

Thought he did well all things considered but couldn’t help himself with the bozo moments. So many big mistakes.

Will get found out next week. You cannot play the "we will just out score you way against Arsenal" , they will do us if we don't defend as team. Letting in that last goal is unacceptable. Lack of focus at the end of the game. Again.

Call it how I see it @Munkunku

That was a Frank approach and see where that got him. It’s 3 points but a lucky 3 points at that….defence and midfield shambolic and I can’t see us getting anything from next weeks game other than a spanking to bringbthis lot down to earth. Surprised Steveo never got a look in today given how both Gusto and Neto fell off the pace in the 2nd half.

Feel more confident with Xabi than I did with Maresca. Once we get that defence sorted. I think it will click

We keep letting teams dominate the midfield and we are no where near them. We can’t keep letting in goals like that it needs to be stomped out immediately

Deary me, the happiness I felt in the first half quickly diminished in the second half. Very pleased with the win, but still a lot of work to do on the training ground. A bit worried about Caicedo...

Well, at least we're not boring anymore

It's going to be a fun season I know that much. I'd take this over that absolute sh*te Maresca offered up every day of the week.

Shame we aren't playing them next week instead of Arsenal.
