I would be more concerned if we weren't suffering so much with injuries and not contending in these games at all.
The frustration is that we've played some great football at times and could've been clear in the Sporting game and yesterday. Even Spurs we missed out on penalties due to some absurd block from Bissouma.
It's not like we can't compete all of a sudden. We looked shot from 70 minutes yesterday because it's pretty much the same eleven that've played every game in the last month.
Brighton made 5 subs by the time they had equalised, bringing on their better players who were all ready to go.
I've posted the attack set up that leads to the equaliser below. They had just started to become very direct and overload our last line to get crosses in. Or play into the last line and look for combinations.
JSP half clears and then it's a total mess at the back post. He played fine but senior defenders aren't conceding this goal. None of that back four have played together hardly, let alone two of them out of their position.
We're also missing players like Grealish & Stones that establish the rhythm to stop teams pushing us in like this.
I think this can all be fixed by having a few players back and converting the chances we create. Maybe we'll make a small error without being punished, or the opposition will be punished for theirs - some of it is just dumb luck.
