Lucky - CHO, Mount, Jorginho, Kova all awful.

Christensen and Rudiger (yellow aside) have been the only awake players, and one is injured and the other is on thin ice.

So are Brighton in general rapid? Cos Mount has been beaten in every race over 2 yards, and we look slow

Think another body in midfield might be key, but then again if AC has to come off we can't really do that.

Cucurella, Bissouma and Lamptey are rapid

We look tired to be honest.

CHO and Pulisic.... I mean really what is the point of these two

Bissouma controling the midfield on his own tbh

Worst thing is we mostl likely only have one change remaining. Can’t see Chris lasting the full 90. I feel like Kante is needed.

Yep

Kova needs to buck up and get with the pace

Pulisic has not been involved on the ball, but he has done his job fine as a WB - nothing coming down the left flank - all concentrated on Alonslow

I thought we were ok until the goal. Kinda expected us to rely on a set piece to break through.

I can't get too angry, this is a shattered, depleted squad ravaged by Covid up against a quick, eager and well-coached team who are actually trying to play football.

Started well, then just seemed to get gradually worse until the end of the half

Kante for CHO in an ideal world - but I think AC is buggered so perhaps not.

Been our best midfielder imo. Jorgino, mount and cho been very poor

Fk knows what shape Kante is in too

The wingbacks have offered nothing to the attacks today. Whereas usually they’re our main outlet.

This is the type of game that TT wants them 5 subs

Although lamptey was doing well against James the change seemed to happen around when we scored/James went off

Im very concerned we see an early retirement for Kante in the next couple seasons. He has that sort of injury record

Kovacic has looked good at times but also lost it cheaply a few times. Jorginho hasn’t been good though. Getting overrun in the middle by one guy.

If TT doesn’t fix something I think we’ll lose this.

We’ve also had a couple good opportunities to counter but wasted them. Shame Werner isn’t available today.

Whats wrong with Werner?

Covid hit him harder than they others?

Let's look at our outfield options:

Sarr - Nope
Chalobah - Only in defence, please
Saul - Does anyone trust him?
Barkley -
Ziyech - just back from injury
Kante - likewise
Havertz - Covid has made him even paler than usual
