Brighton post match thread

I thought Brighton played some good football and it was nice to see a team come to us and try to play a bit - all credit to them

Brighton played some good football all credit to them.We played like a team in 1st gear with intertanional break on the horizon.sterling was dropping to deep second half for me id hav brought foden on for him.Hope laportes ok but look like a knee dislocation the way the physio was feelng his knee cap fingers crosse for him.

Zinchenko didn’t play well today.

Thought he did alright considering that Sterling was strolling around as if he was on his holidays just in front of him.

Playing at 70% today. Apart from the goals we lacked our usual urgency and our passing was off.
Shows just how good we are to come out comfortable winners.
Credit to Brighton - never stopped closing us down and troubled our defence more than most.

Zinchenko was class again today, you’ve clearly got an agenda against him. He’s nailed that spot down since the new year.

Excellent going forward.

I thought Brighton were decent tbf. Good manager and good football

The result was great, just need to hear how Eric is doing.
Gutted for him after him eventually being chosen for France.

Thought block 115 was fantastic today, particularly in the second half. Should be like that every game

Win 4-0 with a below par performance is always nice. Wins a win! But am I the only one who thinks zinchenko’s defending is terrible? Have the ball away a few important times, and his lack of pace/unwillingness to run caused Laporte to tackle and cause an injury? I just feel if zinchenko could be bothered to run back then Laporte wouldn’t have been injured.

as off as Zin was, regardless, and I hate to speak against a guy who's injured, but I think Laporte's challenge was reckless and preventable entirely on his ownself.
edit: I mean, hasn't he learned anything? playing along side of the poster child of lunge-ins, nico otamendi. ;)

Other than waiting for news about Laporte's injury I'm not sure if it's worth saying much else about the game. We weren't at our best but were still so good as to run out 4-0 winners, Brighton played some ambitious football and fair play to them. That's that. Roll on Norwich.
