WTF

For majority of the match brighton were tossed around like a rag doll and looked like a deer in the headlights .

Brighton looked much better when they brought on Gilmore and Fati. It also seemed to spark Matumo into life who’d been a passenger up until then. Mistake by their second coming of Christ coach not to start with that team

Yeah it's a problem that won't go away until we start finding more goals from midfield, not so much yesterday, but especially if Haaland misfires.

Not going to happen as apart from Haaland and, to a lesser extent, Alvarez, Phil and KDB , none of the others can finish.

Yes, when have Bernardo and Rodri ever scored vital goals for us?

The others rarely even miss chances, never mind score them.

Both Gundogan and Mahrez had a goal scoring threat that sometimes allowed more space for a decoy run and ultimately an easier chance for a teammate.

I wasn't saying they never score just that they are not reliable goalscorers.

Probably worth mentioning that Gundogan is yet to score in 9 games for Barcelona, so it might just be that Pep was able to get something more out of him in this system, which perhaps he may be able to do with Nunes, Kovacic and Rodri given the time.

I've mentioned previously, that Gundogan scored 8 league goals for us last season, of which 5 came in 2 games against Everton and Leeds.

Met a few Brighton fans in town, all decent lads.

One was the son of Jeff Sterling, had a good chat about the Hartlepool and Darlington rivalry.
