As much as Neto put in a soft challenge I thought Colwill was messing about too much near the touch line and then was out of the game straight after.

The attack is frightening for ANY defense but we have to be better without the ball. Given that Martinez only joined up for practice yesterday morning its OK for now, but long term we have to organise how we transition into defense. Hato looks out of position at times but I feel confident Alonso can improve the defense as a whole.

Great to watch that attack. They genuinely seem to be having fun. As are we.

Romeo where art thou?

He's in the six yard box, poaching.

Good performance going forward but where’s our midfield? Midfield being walked through and onto the back line too easily, no bite in the middle - we need a hard defensive midfielder when Caicedo is not available. Who’s available?

Neto had to cover for 2 people so I can't completely blame him. If he was going to go in he should have just pulled a shirt is my only compliant.

I need a lie down after Martinez’s stretching routine.

"He's not a defender: is no excuse. He has to do miles better than that. He totally switched off. His positioning when Brighton have possession is awful. He has left Fofana having to cover two players multiple times.

I really hope Liverpool take him off our hands.

Right, he f**ked up but why is he the one trying to defend it though? It's not even his side of the pitch.

Yup.

A long ball straight up the pitch to the striker on the counter? Disgusting. Where are the 6000 passes between centre backs?

Martinez just knows how to put a long ball

No subs. Surprised Moi is not on.

like to see jao mayb not shoot everytime

Just had to look him up, 20! Absolutely no chance.

Lol. Unless he‘d a real life Benjamin Button that just cant be true

wake up palmer ,,,,, need to see you

Stop clearing straight to Brighton players.

Still don't want Fofana here.

we need next goal soon

The midfield press has been sh*t and the defenders are clearing straight to Brighton players.

very soon

Watch Colwil wonder away from his CB position

Phew got lucky there, defense asleep again

make changes

Should be 3-2. Really poor defending again.

Another wake up call there.

Fresh legs / leadership soon in Reece and Caicedo

I think Gusto was in a much better position to receive the pass there
