Perhaps one hoping to convince Liverpool to make, what would need to be, a huge offer.

Brought back the feel good factor and even though I am always excited and waiting for the next Chelsea match, this time hits differently. Been here for a whole two minutes, but managed to change the crooked culture from the past few years in such a short time. Ideally if he manages to get rid of Enzo Fernandez and Neto in the next hours and finds a top central midfielder to complement Caicedo, it would draw a line to an amazing summer. Ideally it would be another central defender similar to Lacroix as well. Don't know if this is on his to do list, but hopefully deadline day has one big surprise left for us.

Sunday draws to a close and we have the bizarre scenario of Enzo Maresca at the top of the PL and Liam Rosenior at the top of Ligue 1 !

I think the issue is mainly with our makeshift midfield, which makes it hard to have control. Hopefully Caicedo's injury isn't too serious and we get a solid midfielder before the window shuts. This would improve us a lot imo.

Xabi seems to be taking every competition seriously this season so I fail to see where he gets any minutes staying here. Loan seems the best option for all parties at this stage. £60,000,000 and needs a loan just so we’re all on the same page.

More than happy for the only criticism of our superstar attacking mid to be that he ‘doesn’t defend enough’ Blokes a f**king menace up front and is a huge reason we’re playing some of the most entertaining football I can remember. Nitpicking is what this criticism is. ‘Martinez had a good game but he wasn’t involved in any of our attacking link up play so he needs to work on that’ level logic.

Was at a beer festival with mates today but thankfully the game was on so managed to watch the majority of it. Can't see us having too many 0-0's this season! Great 3 points. Brighton are a decent side and will beat a lot of teams this season so a win is a win, but disappointing to hang on like we did, when the result could have been a lot more comfortable. But very happy with how things are looking. Biggest positives: Front 3. So exciting to watch and we will cause anyone problems. Martinez. He won't be happy to have conceded 3 on his debut but he did well and will stop me from having a heart attack a few times every game. So long Sanchez................... We have some good squad options. Bench looks a lot stronger now with the likes of Welbeck and Barco and it was great to see Josh get on again. Things are nicely set up for the Arsenal game next week. Sure, we will need to defend a lot better but we can hurt them. Happy Days!

Way too harsh on Colwill, our best defender before the injury and back end of last season when he came back you saw the immediate step up in quality

For me one of Gittens or Mudryk has to go out on loan. On quality, frankly I am not bothered which one goes out and which one stays

Missed this one today, at a tournament with the kids. Sounds like a great game, 6 points whilst navigating this Enzo drama is a cracking start. Obviously loads to improve and im sure 1 or 2 new faces in the next 48 hours.

Are we seriously blaming Rogers for the hopeless defending? Their first goal was on Neto charging out like an idiot with an already exposed defence because everybody pushed too high up. All he had to do was contain and hold the Brighton player up until support arrived.

Certainly didn't play like a player that was leaving or looking to leave.

Alonso left the door open for his sale by refusing to confirm if he was staying beyond the window.

Same as Kante, world class but often broke down.

We're reminding me very much of Kevin Keegan's Newcastle at the moment and that's no bad thing. Really enjoying the football which I haven't been able to say for quite a while.

Do you believe we have a serious chance to get Ruiz, Sconnie?

As things stand our back 3 vs Arsenal might be best to be Acheampong, Lacroix and Hato.

Match highlights: That defending as a team after the first 3 goals.... That last goal pi$$es me off, shockingly bad, poor attention. Grateful it did not matter though. Aside from our traditional rivals, Leeds, Arsenal, Spurs, beating Brighton is one of the most enjoyable.

Can’t see where he get mins from, and they will need to take a big hit on his value when he is loaned out next season

I think when you look at other teams with new managers and how they have started, Alonso has done really well.

Yep, move Hato there. No passengers. If u ain’t pulling ur wait f**k right off till you are.

Even their first goal.. was him.

No signs to panic yet but I thought we got away with it against Fulham and Brighton. Both had chances to equalise late on. You get away with it for so long but your luck will run out eventually. Team seem happy and confident though so it’s something to build on. Arsenal will be a big test
