Brighton (A) - Post-Match Thread

Another 4 goals playing without a striker.

Yeah but if we had a striker could win 1-5

Nowt wrong with that. 4-1 away against a side that started the game in fourth. Of course all of the headlines will be about Chelsea bagging seven at home against arguably the worst side the Prem has ever seen.

Foden and Bernie stand out players for me.

Brighton are a very good side, the signs were there last season.

They're probably better than last season but about mid-table is their level.

Sensational for 30 mins. Second half slacked off and failed to manage the game. Some decent defending when Brighton put some pressure on. Overall not too bad at all. Foden, Bernado excellent. Still waiting for KdB to find his form.

Ederson needs to get wise.

Glad Brighton gave us a run for our money in the second half. Otherwise there'd be people on here saying "Oh, they're only shit, anyway".
Rather than us being what we are. Brilliant.

In the old days the lino would have flagged and nowt else would have happened

Even going back to sterling's winner ruled out against spurs in the CL frustrating

That mahrez touch at the end. Wow.

great first half second half meh, very enjoyable

Totally agree. Thought it would have gotten lost but wowed me, insane touch, he is probably one of the best at that, ridiculous

Jamie Redknapp explained offside not given before pen because it was in a different phase of play. I suppose VAR can only be used in the final phase? Still seems odd when VAR has seen the offside but can't judge on it.

Which is right, if the linemen are flagging. It isn’t right when they are being told not to flag because VAR will check. If the lineman thinks it’s going into another phase he should flag.

We could do a lot worse than looking at Potter to replace Pep when he eventually leaves. He’s an excellent manager.

Young melt face has had a shocker with the Bissouma comment.

What did he say?
