Diabolical second half. No shots on target in the second half, 9 minutes of casually dicking around like we're 5-0 up instead of trying to rescue a point. Team look like they don't give a shit at the minute.
I expected a hammering in truth, it wasn't but that was somehow even worse because Brighton themselves were miles off it and looked to be handing us 3 points on a plate only for us to capitulate. They were much better than that against the dippers and still lost twice to them in a week.
We might only be 5 points adrift, nowhere near an insurmountable deficit, especially at this stage. but the one thing people aren't factoring in is that we've had an extremely kind fixture schedule until now, we've played just 2 of the traditional big 6, we've got a heavy fixture list over the next 2 months, we're currenrly getting torn apart by bang average sides, a top side will annihilate us.
Injuries aren't solely responsible for this, it's a tactical issue that Pep has shown no signs of looking to fix and so this will continue throughout the season.
