  1. I understand we have so many injuries and are competing in the Europa league for the first time, but sometimes, the players get too complacent on the field. At first, I didn't understand De Zerbi's antics, but I can now relate. Sometimes, the players just need to push the ball forward, but they'll be playing around. Sometimes, too, there needs to be sharp passes up front, but our main player this season (Pedro) prefers to showboat (not taking anything from his hard work and consistency). For the Crystal Palace match, we could have scored more than five without conceding and made a strong statement for Tottenham. If they stop that, De Zerbi's tactics would be so much more effective.

    Having watched every one of our matches this season, the last 3 things they can improve upon are:
    1. to balance their play with long passes since most teams know our style and try to block our passing game right from the back. We've conceded too many unnecessary goals from this problem.

    2. I know this might seem trivial, but when our keepers get the ball, I am yet to see them give it out right away to a free and running player for a counter attack. They always like to let the opponent get into formation and then start building from the back again.

    3. The thing I like most about our games is our offensive play on a good day, it's just beautiful to watch. However, again we get too complacent sometimes and forget to be direct in front of goal. I know Ferguson is still young and not in form this season, but with they way we play, a direct and target player like him will give us more goals if given the opportunity. He just needs a goal or two to get back his confidence.

  2. 7 years in the Premier League and they continue to defy and confound those who say they are not good or rhey will go down. Brighton from day one when they came up have been a joy to watch. Young and experienced squad with a manager, great ownership and playing a blistering, electrifying brand of football right.

    Progressive on and off the pitch and they definitely deserve to be where they are, upsetting the big names and causing carnage along the way.

  3. Welbeck's pass… wow, great game. Finally declassing eagles as it should be! Gross is as always at top level!💙🤍from RU

    I wonder where are all of those idiots, who wrote after Luton "De Zerbi out"
