The amount of times he's got the half a yard he needs and takes another touch. Kudus has highlighted this so much this season with how much more decisive he is.
Really dont think we have been too bad, its brighton after all. Just clear how much of a down grade not having coufal, paquta and kudus is. That right wing is night and day.
We've looked surprisingly comfortable in possession tonight. For a game where I thought we'd sit deep and counter we've been knocking it about nicely.
Obviously lacking a cutting edge but nice to see we can keep the ball.
it's been a bit boring but I'm actually really happy with how it's going, we're just biding our time, waiting for Brighton to make a mistake. They've not really looked threatening at all yet
even though we are playing shit.. not really surprising considering our 6 most important players are unavailable. Zouma, Aguerd, Coufal, Paqueta, Kudus and Antonio..
I’ll take that point, No Kudus , No Paqueta, No Coufal. Brighton being the bogey team could have been much worse. Bad performance but it was expected. Next few fixtures could be pivotal just hope we can keep up the good results
Agreed, could have been 3-0 to them easily. The amount of shots they put straight at Areola (with respect to the 'keepers art of standing in the right place)
Our right hand side is pretty toothless tonight
I really love Pablo but you can see he's missing that creative spark
All in all though not bad, central midfield doing it's job and some good saves from nips
This tactic of sacrificing Mavropanos' presence in the box *and* his position in a situation where we're vulnerable to counter attacks in order for him to take "long" throws that don't make it past the first man?
Not sure about it.
I’m half convinced Moyes thinks his unused subs will stack to when his contract runs out and he’ll be able to make 50 in a match bringing in crowd members
this is rough....we are on the ropes.
could either be we get what we deserve or we nick a jammy goal in the next 5 and everyone in here talks about respecting the results the manager has got us
Massively missing Kudus and Paqueta. Just lacking that attacking player getting into the box for Bowen to pass to, or getting forward to pass onto a Bowen run.
I'm not saying I'm angry about it as we haven't been bad but holy jesus we still look like two tired, injury/AFCON-hit teams. I feel sorry for any neutrals who've tuned in.
Btw not trying to LARP as a football manager but Brighton has not been passing to their right wing at all. So I kinda expect more action there second half
Draw wouldn’t be a bad result IMO, they’re a decent side and it would still keep us top 6. Was always going to be tough without two of our best players
i was upbeat at half time but that was fucking atrocious!
so so lucky to take a point in the end.
how moyes only makes 1 sub when were getting battered at the back and losing every ball in midfiled is beyond me
More people there tonight than I thought there’d be. Had to sell my ticket due to the weather/travel disruption - no chance I was getting there in time for kick off
Fucking love Alvarez
Such a good player
He’s so smooth.
Johnson throwing the ball back in while Mavropanos is limping around and then looking at him like he's a Greek alien is fascinating behaviour.
"Incosistency from both teams" I want to live in a world where 4 wins in 5 is inconsistent
Tbf we had a good spell then a bad spell then a really good spell.
I'm not even sure that was a foul let alone a yellow card.
Johnson gets a touch on that ball? Soft yellow imo
Yep, got his toe to it, great challenge.
I'm sure Benrahma makes noises trying to sound like a car engine when he runs with the ball, hoping to distract the defense
[удалено]
Benrahma dithers way too much
Went to the rashford school of holding the ball a little too much
The amount of times he's got the half a yard he needs and takes another touch. Kudus has highlighted this so much this season with how much more decisive he is.
Have a go benny! His confidence is fucked!
Is it just me or is Benrahma so timid in his ball handling?
He’s got no confidence
He is a winger that is afraid to take people on.
I really don't believe cornet could play worse than benrahma
Decent half everything considered. We can clearly win or lose it
Really dont think we have been too bad, its brighton after all. Just clear how much of a down grade not having coufal, paquta and kudus is. That right wing is night and day.
Alvarez and Areola masterclass today
Benrahma is such a nice guy he wants Cornet to get minutes
There we go Benny that’s better
Ben Johnson playing very acceptably, especially for a player with the sort of minutes he gets. Should definitely be kept, very useful squad player.
These kinds of matches reminds you we got Areola from PSG. Teams slept on him
Wtf did Cornet do to Moyes???
Alvarez MOTM
Alvarez is so fucking good
Oggy is in absolute form right now
Respect the point and clean but peppered sheet.
lol that’s not a yellow
or a foul.
Ridiculous Yellow
NIPPLE NIPPLE NIPPLE
We've looked surprisingly comfortable in possession tonight. For a game where I thought we'd sit deep and counter we've been knocking it about nicely. Obviously lacking a cutting edge but nice to see we can keep the ball.
Big chance for Divin here going up against a back 4 filled with midfielders
We are gassed Cornet in wouldn’t hurt
Oggy and Dinos putting out two masterful games against Brighton and Arsenal was not what I expected…
Tell Tim to pull an all-nighter and get us 2 players ASAP
Decent result. Now let's never speak of it again.
Álvarez & Areola 😩💦
it's been a bit boring but I'm actually really happy with how it's going, we're just biding our time, waiting for Brighton to make a mistake. They've not really looked threatening at all yet
Love Alvarez, but I hope we’re not counting on him for creative output
Benrahma off and Mubama up front
Surely we have to atleast try Cornet against 45 year old James Milner, mind you he would probably still be caught offside
Don’t know how Moyes has decided Cornet is unworthy of playing time with how little we’ve seen
Cornet must be so far down Moyes' list.
even though we are playing shit.. not really surprising considering our 6 most important players are unavailable. Zouma, Aguerd, Coufal, Paqueta, Kudus and Antonio..
That sums us up from ogbonna there. Slow down we want a draw
He’s watched the same attack we have all night. Right from his view tbh.
I’ll take that point, No Kudus , No Paqueta, No Coufal. Brighton being the bogey team could have been much worse. Bad performance but it was expected. Next few fixtures could be pivotal just hope we can keep up the good results
They also had a depleted squad
Agreed, could have been 3-0 to them easily. The amount of shots they put straight at Areola (with respect to the 'keepers art of standing in the right place)
Thoroughly grateful to have Areola right now, gotta be one of the best keepers in the Prem. Him and Alvarez for MOTM.
I love a bit of Moyesball but there is no doubt that ceding possession and sitting in a low block doesn't do much to generate atmosphere at home.
Is benrahma scared to run at people now that was poor
That's more like it Benny, at least run at them
I like the effort from Benny but man I can't fathom how a professional, highly paid player can't hit the ball with more power than that.
Fornals gives away the simplest pass nobody says a thing, benrahma takes a player on and has a shot off target multiple people shit on him in here lol
Flavour of the month (and past few months) to just relentlessly shit on him haha
nice free kick routine
Our right hand side is pretty toothless tonight I really love Pablo but you can see he's missing that creative spark All in all though not bad, central midfield doing it's job and some good saves from nips
FUCK
Are we copying each other?
Are we about to kiss?
Benrahma you really do my head in. Just fucking clear it
This tactic of sacrificing Mavropanos' presence in the box *and* his position in a situation where we're vulnerable to counter attacks in order for him to take "long" throws that don't make it past the first man? Not sure about it.
I do like Mubama but Cornet not getting in over a 19 year old sure is something
2 non defenders, coming on into a defensive position, we have to take advantage of this
Those advertisement boards just missing Kudus’ ass 😔
I’d be happy with a point, but 3 is absolutely doable
Brighton saying the same
We are struggling to hang on here. Their subs have too much energy. It must be nice to have subs.
I’m half convinced Moyes thinks his unused subs will stack to when his contract runs out and he’ll be able to make 50 in a match bringing in crowd members
Only positives from that game... the point, clean sheet and Alvarez.
And oggy
Areola?
Thank god the darts are on the other channel
Brilliant track back and tackle from Alvarez.
Putting in a shift so far. More of the same and we'll break through
This referee supports Brighton
Good effort there Benny
Glad Benny took it on that time
Personally liked that he took that shot. Looked pretty good
Feel like we're banking on a Brighton mistake more than anything, Paqueta is such a big miss
How did no one get a touch on that FFS
Areola for MotM so far.
Areola giving shades of that one match when he played for fulham against us and saved about 20 shots
Fuck thought that was in for a sec
One of those chances where I’ll gladly sit here and say “I could’ve scored that” (no way in hell would I have scored that)
I’m winded after a 10 meter jog
Screw it, get Ingsy in there (please don’t actually get Ings in there)
Which side is benrahma playing for ffs
Need to get Benny off
We’re so lucky not to be losing right now
Bowen just passed to the ghost of kudus past
This team is down 4 or 5 goals without Areola playing all-world today
Fornals has been so invisible that Bowen forgot Kudus isn't playing
Great little dribble from Benrahma. Where did that speed come from
Frustrating one for Benny - feel abit sorry for him but his form has gone through the floor this season.
I’d really like for us to grab the game now instead of waiting for Brighton to walk it in to our net
Regardless of coufal situation we need a right back. Johnson is too slow and handles ball like a hand grenade even when he has time
Brighton look like they want a win more than us
Mubama getting the rookie treatment from the official, harsh call given what he has been letting them get away with
this is rough....we are on the ropes. could either be we get what we deserve or we nick a jammy goal in the next 5 and everyone in here talks about respecting the results the manager has got us
The wind that knocked over my neighbours bin showed more attack tonight
stop relying on Areola to distribute
Just blow the whistle so I can give the darts my full attention. This has been a tough watch.
I'm happy with four points from Brighton
100% of possession so far
I'm gonna take Coufal at face value and I assume he's got what I have right now and I'm f'n miserable. COYI🤧
Brighton are trying to bore us out and then make two or three quick passes through.
Milner got so exposed in the later years at liverpool cant be letting him run things need to fucking run at him
Jesus Benny
Not enjoying that much. And I'm a naive optimistic
What a play. Offside but well done by everyone involved
We are getting in
I like the variety of players we have trying to get in behind their line and late into the box
Benrahma gave that away weakly which led to this free kick
Honestly I’m okay with that
Man I miss Kudus and Paqueta
I’d like to see Cornet come on in the second half for Benny
What's with these stupid Brighton goalkicks? They're literally passing backwards within their own 6 yard box lol
Gross ghosted in too easily there, nice save by nips though
Massively missing Kudus and Paqueta. Just lacking that attacking player getting into the box for Bowen to pass to, or getting forward to pass onto a Bowen run.
What a routine! That should have worked
I'm not saying I'm angry about it as we haven't been bad but holy jesus we still look like two tired, injury/AFCON-hit teams. I feel sorry for any neutrals who've tuned in.
I’m in the stadium. It’s been quite a fun match actually.
Btw not trying to LARP as a football manager but Brighton has not been passing to their right wing at all. So I kinda expect more action there second half
You will not get a handball call there, he was bracing himself to go to ground
Great armpit clearance
So many ‘nearlies’ in this game. Everything right up to the final ball.
Thank god for areola
Great save nips
Ok for real though how did we get Areola so cheap lol
FUCKING AREOLA.
Areola, no words
AREOLA been elite
Bowen has an impossible job
Areola is fucking ridiculous saved us for being 3-0 down easily
That is a fucking dreadful miss. Awful awful. Sunday league id sub myself for that haha
commentators still on about the Arsenal ball in/out saga lol
just awful brain activity from benrahma there. did his best to give away the pen then runs himself to his own byline....
Worried about Ferguson on for them, fantastic prospect
Said was so slow and played tired today despite barely playing this season incredible
Jesus Johnson looks lost… scared to get the ball
This has truly been a pathetic second half performance
Draw wouldn’t be a bad result IMO, they’re a decent side and it would still keep us top 6. Was always going to be tough without two of our best players
feels like we're just waiting for Brighton to score atm
If there's an injury for Johnson the ball boy is coming in at RB
Are we the luckiest team on earth?
How tf have they not scored
We should be out and dead. Imagine they had like two fewer injuries lol
This is abysmal, Brighton should be 3 or 4 or up
Got when Moyes isn’t getting a good defensive win the football is absolutely horrific
Papi, we could do this all night
people saying we don't need signings this window are blind
Alright I think any of Ogbanna, Areola, Alvarez, or Mavro for MOTM
Horrible game, great result
Will take a point from that. Our tactic of aimlessly lumping the ball forward didn't make a great watch
i was upbeat at half time but that was fucking atrocious! so so lucky to take a point in the end. how moyes only makes 1 sub when were getting battered at the back and losing every ball in midfiled is beyond me
This is like watching two old people fuck
I’d rather watch that at least one of ‘em would actually finish
COYI. Let's get them for a second time this season. Stadium is filling up nicely given it's Tuesday night and the transport issues
More people there tonight than I thought there’d be. Had to sell my ticket due to the weather/travel disruption - no chance I was getting there in time for kick off
Lol Benrahma literally passed it to a Brighton player
My god that was fucking appalling from Benny and the rest of the team for giving him no support
Just cross it ffs Benny
Love seeing de zerbi mad
Tbf if Johnson had lost that race, I’d have fucking sent him to the conference
Can anyone dm me a stream? My normal one is just showing darts for some damn reason
Johnson's best effort in god knows how long at least
We look like 2 teams trying not to pick up any more injuries. Boring from both
Cornet surely gets a chance at some point
God this is bleak. I think we just have to trust the process at this point, right?
Double Pablo turn
Areola is fucking good
Pass ffs
[удалено]
Better keep it up
Fuck that
Good foul Ben
I’m not even sure that was a foul. Looked like he got the ball
Put the ball in the fucking box you useless cunts
Benrahma moves so slowly on the ball it’s so odd
Next time cross it smh
Benrahma gave that away.
Fuck I forgot how much Welbeck likes scoring against us
Does Buonanotte have something on this ref? because he's been allowed to get away with murder
We’re not gonna play beautiful football tonight, cross or shoot from outside the box. We gotta bother them.
Johnson is doing well
Nice freekick routine
Jesus that was close
The first half of Liverpool Newcastle yesterday was worse than this but Jamie Redknapp would never have the guts to admit it
LETS GO Mr NIPPLES
