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. 

Cho didn’t do anything beside passing to Alonso. Alonso should play on Cho position and bring on Hall to play LB.

Alonso try 2 crosses

Really bad vibes can be felt from the entire squad. Disinterested, sloppy, slow and careless.

Are we about to witness yet another power struggle between players and the manager? 

Single out trouble makers and send them to train with the youth team. I hope the club backs up TT.

 

Bring in the Academy players , can't really remember them letting us down in the way some expensive players have.

Brighton might lose this game but they have spent nothing compared to us and are playing with a style that I would love to see us playing.

Even Leeds played with an energy and pace that we don't get near to.

what am I moaning about ? Champions of Europe !

But...... Come on you BLUES !

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

I don't think he wants to come back and fight Reece for his place, there's probably better options out there for him

This is arguably the worst take I’ve seen on this forum in the last 6 years or so. 

If we take Lukaku off and bring Havertz as a false nine for the second half. I think we could get more control of it. Havertz can receive and progress the ball at least compared to Lukaku today.  With Brighton constant high numbers pressure we cannot service Lukaku much. He is basically a dead wood today, waste of a number on the pitch.

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.

Has shown he has quick feet, and put a couple of decent crosses in. 

You can hear the surge of excitement in the crowd every time he is on the ball.  There aren't many players that have that sort of "it" factor ... 

Why have there been so many sh*t Lesley Gore covers in adverts recently?

I'm no Lukaku fan but I don't think he merits much criticism in that half. We have given him  nothing whatsoever to work with. 

Other than Silva every outfield player has been well below par. Odoi and Mount in particular have been well off the pace but they could all do with raising their game a sh*t load.

Beginning to feel like the end of Lampard being replayed with TT as the manager

ffs they still arguing

I'd love us to try and drop the back 3 and get another creative player in the midfield.

Without Chillwell and especially James we look toothless.

I believe when Lampard was sacked we were mid table.  We are currently in 2nd or 3rd depending on the result of this match.  

Agree that we've lost form but this isn't nearly as bad as where we were when Lampard was sacked.

Ridiculous from Azpi. Has the entire pitch free in front of him and chose to dribble with himself twice to let the entire Brighton team back. Then passes backward.

Not one of our so called world class wingers have beaten a Brighton defender so far this game..

Welbeck just ran in to the Kante wall.

it must be fatigue, ziyech can barely keep his balance on the turn

I feel like James and Chillwell were the engines of the attack.  We should try a different formation to find a different engine.

STOOOOPPP PLAYING BACKWAAAAAAARDS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm prone to ludicrous over exaggeration !

Hudson-Odoi going backwards and refusing to put the ball in is unnacceptable. He's supposed to be a winger.

Amazing that Silva is the oldest outfield player in the PL and still such a great defender.

He’s so frustrating - if he can’t cut in and shoot he’s not interested.

Easily been our best player today again.
