Willian, Pedro and barkley are the most frustrating players to watch. All of them take too many touches. All of them let the opposition get back behind the ball. 

Squad players at best. The annoying thing today is we have shown progress every week, but this is a reminder of last season. It’s awful to watch those players 

Barkley has no business in this team. He faffs and f**ks around with the ball so much he's always the one to lose it

17 shots on goal against 0 from Brighton.

Just need one to go in second half but I would look to bring on some fresh legs, hopefully CHO for Willian ASAP.

I would only play 1 of Willian and Pedro when other options are available. I suspect that will be the case once CHO gains more match fitness

This might be a controversial opinion but I think we’ve been a bit wasteful with our chances so far.

On the plus side, at least we’re playing quite well and haven’t conceded any silly goals yet.

No movement at all, everything is so slow. Need to change 2 of Alonso, Azpillacueta, Barkley, Willian or Pedro early. Pulisic, Odoi or both for something different or even stick Batshwayai up front with Abraham. He's getting nothing.

Very surprised to see Kovacic rested and Barkley on.

Has Abraham had good chances, I only ask as BBC say 17 shots?

If Brighton offering little threat lets bring Bats on and go more attacking.

Kova or even James for Barkley would be a good sub

Missed a very good chance with a header.

Abraham hasn’t had much to go on at all. One header that he missed the ball, that actually went on to hit the post from mounts freekick cross. 

Thus is going to be a long season

git to say I’m not enjoying our football at the moment but that’s just a personal opinion 

I really don't rate Ross Barkley to be honest, we've got much better options. 

Willian and Pedro doing very little again and they're supposed to be our senior players, mount looking promising whenever he has the ball. 

I know 3 exact changes that I want already...

my ma for Barkley would be a good sub tbh

No changes. Let’s see what happens in first 15 mins. I think I know the outcome.

Agree with you, this is in my opinion one of our main issues, we have zero pace, we build so slowly and predictably, add also our woeful finishing and we get the results we get. 

Willian.............

 

Penalty! 

 

Please dont miss 

I swear Willian's main problem is that he has no brain ... great pass to ... nobody ... no blue shirt for 20 yards where he put that ...

Poor touch from Webster there
