It’s obvious they want to play out from the back but you’ve got to choose the right time to do so. This wasn’t one of them.

If JJ clears the ball in the 5 (FIVE) chances he has to do so before the ball into Ayew, the goal doesn’t happen.

He's not cost us 19 goals. That video that’s flying about there’s at least 4/5 that you cannot pin on him. Don’t get me wrong, he’s been very poor and at fault for a lot of goals, targeted, caught out of position and made individual errors, but if that video is what you’re going from then you just can’t pin that many on him.

Well said

You’ve got to be looking at 6 points at home to Palace and Fulham if you’ve any hope of staying up. Fulham are better than a lot of people give them credit for. But also very beatable.

Most of them get a 6. Justin gets a 3 because he’s ultimately cost us points but up until that moment he’d been doing alright.

There was nothing wrong with his performance today. Didn’t set the world alight but certainly didn’t look out of place.

Have a look on socials, you’ll see. He defo gets head on ball before he clashes heads with Pedro.

Then Saliba headed the ball 👍🏻

Brighton player heads it then Saliba heads it 👍🏻

His momentum takes him forward and Pedro in my opinion is then throwing himself up into Saliba’s space.

You asked why I thought it’s ridiculous and in my opinion I don’t think it’s a penalty. They’re both going for a 50/50, Saliba gets a touch on the ball before he makes contact with Pedro. It’s not dangerous, it’s not reckless and he’s not out of control.

Because that’s my opinion?

I’m guessing you’d all be happy and saying that’s a penalty if that was given against us?

That’s a ridiculous decision tbf

Well we scored today…. Another game where an individual error has cost us. I wonder how many goals Justin is culpable for this season? What on earth was he thinking? Got back into the game and farts about with the ball at the back. It’s one of the basics. Just clear your lines. Played some nice football at times but I feel it’s another massive opportunity missed. There were points available from that. Villa weren’t all that I didn’t think. Profited from two poor decisions from our players. Plus the standard ever obliging allowed Leon Bailey his first goal since April. We need reinforcements and we need them quick. Buonanotte needs more game time. Subs need to be made earlier than the 80th minute. You can’t expect to sit and defend (albeit fairly well) for a game when our defence is this bad and not expect to concede. On paper our last three games have probably been the toughest set of games in the league but that just makes it even more disappointing that we could’ve quite easily got a result from the last two games.

That’s because he’s on the left wing

What on earth is Justin doing there

And this is the problem with trying to play for a draw. This performance so far has been no different to one from under Cooper. Pretty patterns at time. No attacking threat, just trying to defend a game out.

It was Vestergaard. Always scores against us Barkley. Always

Do not concede an early goal second half.

I would play JJ there and go for Faes at RB I really would.

He was a real bad loser Phil.

Right now it’s peak Taylor.

5 weeks until we get to see Emma Paton again
