I'm a big Loftus-Cheek fan, but we aren't just going to say nothing when he's having a poor game. You can't deny that his passing has been really poor so far.

He has absolutely been poor. I am not denying that. But I also am not a fan of giving up on a player less than 45 minutes into the first game of the season. He needs a run of games to get some confidence back I think.

So in the absence of Barkley I see Ruben has become the main focal point for criticism on here. Presumably if he gets subbed off he can pass that over to CHO or Reece.

No one is saying sell him but he’s not played particularly well today. There’s no agenda by stating that when it’s clear. It’s early with no pre season, no one is writing him off but there’s no point in leaving him on when he’s not playing well. That doesn’t help the team or the player.

Ignoring the oasis of Portsmouth just down the road, even worse :wink:

On a lighter note - RLC is playing like sh*te, I’d replace him at half time. 

I done a fair bit of driving around fratton aswell, I'd say I made the right decision moving to Malta ? I think that failed attempted from RLC to put Werner in was more about brilliant defending tbh. That wasn't a great amount of time to play the ball. White had the angle closed down the whole time he was back tracking.

Exactly this, I think he's quality. Has loads to offer us. He's just not been good enough tonight. It'll happen it's first game of the season.

I agree and I suspect he will be subbed off early in the second half unless he improves. But a lot of people were calling for him to be hauled off after 15 minutes. Lets be realistic

Liking what I'm seeing from Werner. We have been so sorely lacking on direct runs up front and something willing to put pressure on keepers.

Kepa made a decent save but yet again was flapping at a corner. Loftus Cheek had a poor half, lots of too-slow balls and losing possession.

Loftus-Cheek has been poor but in no way he’s the only one. Our midfield is missing and being bossed by Brighton. Haven’t seen Kante for a while. Jorginho is also missing in big parts of the game. We are just not capable of controlling the midfield.
