Quality opposition surely highlights mediocrity in our ranks

Worryingly he's been lackluster for some time now.

About 90% of Alonsos' throw-ins end up with opposition. He is f**king useless at yet another aspect of football.

Every time he gets the ball I expect absolutely nothing positive to happen

Great game, players gave it all, impressive display of spirit, determination and faith. Good for TT to stick to his guns and show Lukaku who is the boss.

Timo looks confused the best of time, and in this game he would not have a clue what's going on

He is very young and he is too nervous for this occasion, and maybe some slack can be warranted here.

The prevailing majority of players are dumb as f**k and do not think before they open their gob. Any semi-decent journo will manipulate a player into sensational statements if desired so. Similar to situation when you are not advised to gob off anything to the rozzers without a good lawyer by your side.

Our squad is paper thin in terms of quality players. A few injuries and we collapse. We need a proper ruthless clear-out and new blood in if we seriously intend to compete for trophies. With TT's job secured and our title aspirations out of the window, I would welcome if we start using our youths more often, polishing some diamonds.

Does not really matter. We did not look like scoring anyway, so might as well call it in.

In games like this the true worth of players comes through, no wallpapering over cracks, no hiding behind the collective effort, boys separated from men, pretenders separated from grafters.

Yeah, Jorgi looks like he partied throughout the night

I agree with you. I think Callum has been extremely lucky to still be with Chelsea - we always kept him just in case, not because of strengths or talent.

Pulisic has no chance against the grown-ups of Brighton. He is so lightweight that he has to line up his boots with lead in strong wind.

Hesitation and lack of vision are his middle names.

I do not think what we experience is the system or plan issue. We go through correct motions, but players who are supposed to step up are simply not performing due to poor physical form, lack of skills or no drive. We need to give TT a couple of cash-backed transfer windows to strengthen the squad and clear deadwood.

This game clearly demonstrated that we can safely sell off our second-string players on mass and buy for peanuts a pub team from a God-forgotten place somewhere in Wales for replacement and get the same results but for so much less money.

And even better goals on Play Station!

No way! What, shot from outside the box? It is not how one plays football, right?

We keep Pulisic exclusively for the US market merchandise sales. He is not suited for PL as a footballer.

This could have been easily predicted in the first half when we f**ked about with sideways and backward passes for half an hour. And then bringing on Saul and Barkley? Insane!

I would keep RLC for Cup matches against no-name opposition

If Everton scores, I honestly do not see how we would not lose this game. We are so plain, toothless and placid, it beggars belief.
