That was a tad underwhelming. On the plus side, I had a really good nap during the better part of the second half.

This is all on you [mention=8092]Brutos[/mention]! 

I didn't make the subs lol lol

We are very lucky to be 4th place still, we have been awful for a while now, two good results don't change that, since international break it's all gone to sh*t. 

Need some big adjustments and please for the love of god drop Kante...

Yeah, because Pulisic was going to do anything. 

Did you watch the game? He/Chelsea was attacking BHA's box for a good 10-15 minutes before he was yanked by Lamp. Chelsea was having the momentum. Bad move.

And what did Hudson-Odoi do again? 

Kepa won that one point for us.

It was negligible the first  few times but now I gotta say it must be a coaching problem. How often have we f**ked up against mediocre opposition.

This game was lost in the middle of the park. Kanté was dreadful and that left Jorginiho with too much to do on his own.

Maybe he shouldn’t switch up so damn often when things are going well. Hudson-Odoi has been sh*t but yet he forces him on? Why not leave Mount out there and move him to the wing and not even bring on Kovacic? Plus why’d he stop playing Kovacic? 

It's our defence which has been the issue all season. We can't defend unless the team are 100% motivated and switched on, which only seems to happen against the big sides.

To be fair, he was the one trying to force something before he was taken off. Nobody else was getting in behind their defence or taking a shot.

And it was Callum giving the ball away that lead to them scoring a goal, I love the lad but he's a complete lightweight, hasn't matured as a footballer. 

f**k me but Frank has to have balls to drop Kante and return duo Kova - Jorginhio. even for a game or two and see what happens.

 

The players seem to shut off at key times and it seems to be consistent. 

I don't care what anyone says Zuma and rudiger ain't good enough at the back. 

Toothless performance once again. As much as several players on the field were poor today, Frank deserves some of the blame for this draw. Taking off Pulisic and starting with Kante weren't the best of tactical choices imo. The Kante-Jorginho duo has already been tried and tested under Sarri and it failed.

I don't know what the instructions were for the 2nd half but f**k me we came out negative. I understand we need to protect our lead but we invited Brighton to attack and they took our invitation with both hands. If it weren't for Kepa we'd be walking away with 0 points today. We need to start killing off games.

Set foot on the pitch, so got his full 180

Kovacic for Mount should be a contender for the worst sub in the season. I have never seen such a negative influence. 

It's our defence which has been the issue all season. We can't defend unless the team are 100% motivated and switched on, which only seems to happen against the big sides. 

Actually thought Zouma and Toni were pretty good today. The problem was there was nobody picking up the ball in front of them. If you want a ball playing CB then you need to drop Zouma for Christiansen.

The CHO change I couldn't understand. I thought that was a mistake. Could understand Kovacic for Mount. Lampard can't be blamed for the fact Kovacic was dreadful from the moment he came on.

1 1 probably slightly more than we deserved.

765 posts having a go at Kante today but I'd wager we would have lost today without Kante playing. Jorginho offers very little when we see under pressure and was largely invisible once Brighton got on top. He did nearly gift a goal with a very sloppy pass but bizarrely nobody on here noticed that. Must have all been on the kitchen with Val at that point!

Another lazy and w**k performance from us. It's starting to become a chore watching us again, just like it was last season. We got into more than enough attacking positions to win the game today, but lack of care and concentration cost us. 

Seriously, why doesn't this team ever seem to get it into their heads that you need to fight for every game in this league? It's not Italy, you can't coast your way through any game, you have to force things and play with pace. Every team that has been successful in this league has played with pace. We got our result against Arsenal only a few days ago by playing with tempo and forcing things to happen. It's something that has been happening at the club for so long now and I just don't understand it. Surely the players ain't this f**king dense.

Awful subs from the manager today

have to say the buck stops with frank not only today as well

Really poor attacking perfomance. 

Arrived in good positions in their box on numerous occasions, but the decision making and quality isnt there. 

Poor game from us. 

 

f**k you @Brutos!

Frank again made the wrong selections...Kante and Jorinho is just so bad...Willian should have been dropped and where's our LB? Dave isn't a WB left or right...time for Frank to shape up...

Think Brighton were better than us second half and Kepa was probably our Man of the Match.

Frank may have got his subs right against Arsenal though didn't work today.

Good goal by Brighton and a shame CHO could not have put away his chance.
