If CHO gets to play ahead of Havertz/Werner with that kind of performance I can only imagine how bad those two look in training.

We Are Absolutely sh*t In The Final Third When It Comes To Creating Chances

A Shot From Outside The Box Is All We Create, Lucky It Went In, But Bugger Me, We Are sh*te

We are lucky to be in front.

CHO needs to come off get werner on instead

We use to he fluid and create chances at will.

Can't think what changed.

I think we gonna see something in the second half like the reaction between Lukaku and Ziyech before the tunnel. I bet Lukaku will score assist from Ziyech.

But back lamptey for 40 million 

Abysmal first half. It's just no fun watching games at the moment. We're extremely lucky to be ahead.

Kante has been poor, Jorginho isn't really involved, Azpi is wasteful in possession, Ziyech has been terrible apart from his goal and one brilliant turn, CHO is doing nothing apart from his poor shot late in the half, with Mount you'd be forgiven if you forgot he was playing and Lukaku isn't involved either.

Our attackers really have been terrible lately.

 

Brighton played well for most of the half yet they let Ziyech have a moment on the edge of the box and paid for it.

CHO should have done better as should have Jorginho on the corner clearance,

Kante does not look quite himself to me yet still produces very decent balls.

Lamptey remains a threat in the 2nd.

A little surprised Kova did not start as he can break thier closing down structure.

We need another goal.

 

What a poor side we’ve become …

Ziyech getting all the abuse but at least he's trying (and scoring)

Odoi and Mount may as well not have been on the pitch at all the way they are playing. Both been sh*te for almost the entire season.

Got Jorginho, Alonso and Lukaku dropping absolute stinkers but chose both the young Cobham lads for some reason, strange. CHO is probably our most consistent winger, just can’t finish and Mount the most important player in the team. Please don’t chat so much complete sh*te. 

Sadly, I enjoyed watching Brighton play far more than us ... 

Ziyech is the only one of the 4 attacking mids/forwards trying anything at all.

I think that’s a bit extreme, Lamptey has made a couple good runs but we’ve really not had any danger from anything save for the one shot dragged wide in the early minutes.

The amount of praise he gets on here is nauseating at times. He runs fast, but he's done f**k all with the ball. If he was playing like this for us, we would be complaining about his end product.

Painful to watch Alonso and Azpilicueta, if those two are not sold or fourth choice next season we won't win any title. Ziyech have improved on the ball, but we loose all pressure off the ball with him and Lukaku competing in who can run less.

There Is Basically No Attacking Threat, We've Lost All Attacking Threat To Take Care Of Our Defensive Frailties

I Get Taking Care Of The Defence But Then Having Nothing Attacking To Show For It Is Pointless If You Only Focus On One Aspect

I don't know why so many people are surprised. Brighton came to our place 3 weeks ago and had more shots, corners and possession than Liverpool did. Probably should have gone home with more than a point.

They way some are talking them down you'd think they were as sh*te as Tottenham.

Typically the board chose not to add a "Buy back" clause so we would probably end up spending double that.

Like Werner.

You’ve got a point there. Hope it stays like that second half though 😬

‘Chose’ not to add a buy back clause? I’m sure he had 6 months left on his contract so we had no leverage. If we buy any one back it should be Livramento anyway.

Our next FA Cup opponents play better football than what we do with Lukaku as a vocal point and i'm not even joking.

The ONLY way this crap can be remotely justifies is if it comes with wins, no opponent tax or "but this" when the football's this boring.

Exactly. They are a decent team and well managed

Ha! Yeah they’re a really good side

Creates far more than Pulisic and Ziyech. Leads to team for chances created this season. I’ll admit he can’t finish to save his life though, which is bizarre seeing how good he was at finishing in the youth teams.
