4 huge chances!

Oh come on ffs Alonso!

Alonso is normally ruthless in that position

Jesus, a great ball from Azpi and Alonso should be scoring. Our finishing is woeful.

Wasn't as easy as it looked that one tbf, but Pedro no excuses, has to score that. 

f**king Barkley again and now Alonso ffs 

Willian - 1 goal in 27

Pedro - 1 goal in 15

 

That’s shocking from two senior players than are playing as wingers. Our lack of ability to be clinical has cost us all season.

Jorginho has been class. 

Hopefully CHO and Pulisic get some minutes second half. Perhaps they will have their shooting boots on

Get kova on for Barkley and Hudson for willian

It's not worrying ... it's entirely predictable and expected, and is why both are hopefully in their last season before we have CHO, Pulisic and maybe Jaden Sancho or Zaha as our primary wide attacking threat.

You're breathing a sigh of relief as the opposing manger when you see those 2 in side, add Barkley to that list as well

Jorginho is beast at winning the ball back his anticipation is so good

That was awful

sh*t finishing today.

All part of the master plan to break it to Barkley, Pedro and Willian gently that they aren't in the best XI ... it will be a dodgy first half, 0-0 at HT, all three of them playing poorly, and then Frank will sub all of them and win the game 5-0.

Over to you Frankie boy ... !  ?

 

 

After saying Jorginho had been poor he's turned it right on.

Also Tomori gets better and better every game!

Played ok but 4/5 golden chances to score wasted , will they come back to bit us 

A frustrating half of football. So many wasted chances, it reminded me of last season.

I knew it would be a frustrating game when the damn lineup came out and saw we had Pedro, Willian, and Barkley all starting 

I would have literally scored that cross to Barkley with my crippled leg, FFS, was it that difficult to just shoot the d*mn ball instead of counting on a flick ..

 

all in all, a mediocre half from us, in our usual note lately. Created some good chances, but all players very poor in front of the goal. Barkley and Willian extremely frustrating.

We are playing like a mid table team at best at the moment. We need to get points against teams like Brighton and we look void of ideas and pace.

Can't say I am enjoying our football at the moment, need to learn to be patient with this team. Long season ahead,

We've got to stick one in eventually. Should be at least 3 up already. 

If we don't we always look vulnerable for them to nick one. Kovacic for Barkley the key change for me. Need Mateo to carry the ball a bit in the build up very stagnant in midfield currently.

I knew this would be a tough season and I’m not expecting us to be lightning up the league but like others have said we have to get points at home against Brighton. 

Doing a lot right except being clinical in front of goal.
