Entertaining game settled by a cracker! Thought Brighton were the best team we’ve played this season-and Trossard looks some player.

Are players holding back a little because of the world cup maybe?

Definitely, there’s been a few high profile injuries, especially in our English contingent, I thought Phil pulled out of a few first half last week, and I can’t remember any of our lads contesting a genuine 50-50 this week, that Caicedo (think it was him) for them was the only one getting stuck in for both teams, which allowed both sides to play through midfield very easily

You maybe right, with World Cup approaching I will not surprised all of our international player that have place in national team will playing to avoid injury so near of tournament.

Probably because we're considered the best team in the world

It is unrealistic to expect the best are always going to be impressive. There are a lot of variables that impact on performance besides the ability of the players and the manager.

LaPorte very solid, Bernardo MOTM, our individual quality won is the game

Won’t live long in the memory but not a bad day

I think we will win the league arsenal apart there are a lot of very average teams, we won’t win the CL though we can’t have these performances and not get found out.

Brighton apparently had more possession than us 52 to our 48.
Probably ages since we had lower possession than the opposition in the league at least…..need to sort that one.

 

[urban genie]

They were the better team, we won because individualy we have the better players

 

[Atypical]

Not playing great, I’d say the WC on the horizon is seeing a few players coast to avoid injury.
Certainly not hit our straps yet.

Sorry, don't like to call them out but stewards were c*nts today. Queue up for ages to be met with abruptness when being searched. This was after a queue which took an age because it wasn't managed well. The Stewards are either power mad Nazis or Lazy C*nts. There's no inbetween.
