It’s Poch. He need to do better. Tuchel won the f*cking champions league with Werner and Havertz.

Under Roman. I don't think our manager is so much of the problem at the moment!

Positive post ....We have 2 of our 3 strikers injured, Sanchez played well, he had to though. Palmer looks good on the ball, and a starter for me. Players coming back from injury in the next few weeks. 
Clutching at straws I know, but I'm not going let my beloved club be dragged through the mud every week. If you dont want to watch your team then you shouldnt support them. If all supporters felt like that then two thirds of grounds would be empty every week. 

Our time will come again, just be patient .

Didn't we supposedly have the "easiest" opening 5 games of anyone in the league this season? And we're barely above the relegation zone. We will be in the relegation zone before long. It'#s going to happen.

We were laughed at for even mentioning the possibility. 2 wins in the last 18 games, this is relegation form. We are relegation candidates.

It’s ultimately down to management. Like someone said, Brighton are having fun with Welbeck and March in their attack. I’d consider Mudryk and Jackson better players.

Why? Why would you consider Mudryk and Jackson better than Welbeck?

Is it because they cost more?

Because neither have shown anything in their careers to suggest they're Welbeck level and that isn't hyperbole or even an opinion.

That's the issue,  Welbeck obviously isn't a top striker but the players we've brought in aren't on his level.

Exactly. It makes no f**king sense. Maybe it's just a confidence and settled team issue. Brighton have been fortunate with very few long term injuries. Meanwhile we can't keep a settled team because key player after key player gets injured. It does help to have that confidence and momentum. Newcastle had it last season, but this season they have it a little less so. 

Wasn’t it effectively a Brighton 2nd team that mauled Man Utd yesterday? Sure Mitoma & Estupian played.

It’s the slow transition that is killing us. Ange hasn’t done anything dramatic to transform Spurs, it’s just get it up the pitch as quickly as possible. With us  we keep passing it around aimlessly. You bet we are top of the possession stats.

Kai will  100% start, timo depending on the opp. But against bournemouth, he would have started 

Sorry to say it but that's awful football. Feel for the folk that travelled down. Villa next in the league. The way they came back against Palace yesterday was impressive. Think a draw at best. Already feeling nervous. Til next time KTBFFH

Man Utd and Chelsea both look atrocious. How the mighty have fallen. Only thing going for us is Poch has not been here long, meanwhile Ten Hag has been there for over a season. 

Utd will pull away from us sadly. We are much worse than them. They are a shambles but are least they can score.

Tottenham couldn't score against forest until the ref gave them 100min et and pote had richarlison another box threat. We have absolutely 0.

Our best box threat from the bench is chilwell and it is difficult to be box threat when you are playing lb

People on here were saying no to Vlahovic

Even halaand won't do sh*t with this team. No game plan and no chance creation .

 

If you watched city yesterday you would have seen that halaand missed 3 easy chances then scored the 4 one. With this Chelsea team he will get 2 chances maximum per game

You're not wrong. It's like some are thinking that because Chelsea signed them and for lots of money, that makes them better by default. What have any of these players done in their careers that makes them better than most starters in this league? Most of them have barely even started their careers, like Palmer, and we sign them for absurd amounts of money.

It's a disastrous strategy, something I have never seen in the game before and for good reason.

I think we've been fortunate with the coaches we've had in the past. Now we need to be patient with Pochettino. Things aren't going to come together just like that, but I did understand that we would go through rough patches like this. I guess it's better to start off poorly and hopefully pick up form, then vice versa. I hope it picks up anyway because there's no other top coaches out there.

What the f**k was that. Those last couple of minutes sum us up, there's no f**king intent to attack. 

I was into Poch taking over but what is he doing tactically, why is Colwill playing left back and why is Enzo so high? Enzo was absolutely anonymous today.

I think we just have to accept we are genuinely a mid table side at best. This is going to be a hard watch this season. 

Boehly and co are the worst thing that could have happened to us. 

It wasn't, it was Boris and that other wa**er MP who pushed for sanctions against us.

Well Rashford can, yes. When we get Nkunku back and hopefully Jackson finds some form, we'll have more of a goal threat. Right now we have little goal threat apart from Sterling. Jackson is still adapting so I would not be too harsh on him.

There were issues creeping in under Roman too. This isn't solely a new owner issue. Roman should have made us a genuine force when Mourinho won the title 10 years ago when he came back to the club, but never did. I mean I've said it before a lot, but Roman is also a big part to play in where we are now. The last decade under Roman was poor with some very crap signings that never took us to the next level.

I'd say Chukwumeka getting injured has been nearly as big a blow as losing Nkunku. He was the one player who looked a genuine number 10 capable of linking our midfield and attack.

All comes down to recruitment. Had been generally bad under Roman since 2015 gotten worse every season up until now.

Worst performance of the season, absolute jokers the lot of them. Can’t see where the next goals coming from until Nkunku is back

It worries me though how Nkunku can shine or stand out in this team though if they play like that!
