They play any other way and they go straight to the championship. Not every side can try and play posession based football. However uneasy on the eye it is their style has worked remarkably well for a club of their size so I wouldn't knock it.

 

Brighton have changed their style successfully. Sean Dyche is an enemy of footbsll.

Plus points 

-Timmy C looks mustard

-Ndidi can play where he wants

-Heads didn't drop after Burnley goal

-Barnes on the scoresheet

-Mendy stepping up

 

No so plus points

-JJ brushed off too easy

-Perez's goalhanging offside roulette game

-Keown pretending he enjoyed his Leicester time

-Tielemans needs a goal

-We're not winning 

-My dinner

Good points nothing of interest though apart from what’s wrong with your dinner?

That was below the line of the shirt FFS.

[Onions]

Playing well at the moment, just need to get an early 2nd and we’ll beat them 4-1

 

Despite the goal (Why have we left Woods vs Justin anyway) James Justin’s been really good. 

 

Barnes can beat Bardsley all game and just needs to keep attacking him. 

[FoxesWalk]

Not sure why Wood’s goal stands tbh, lower than the armpit line or whatever the new wording is. Would definitely be disallowed last season. 

[Fox in the North]

Think Burnley are so anti football it’s almost stereotypical. Fair finish by Wood though. I think we’re unfortunate as we’ve not been that bad and put Burnley under pressure.

 

Just need to be a bit quicker when in the right spots and bloody wish we had someone who could dominate headers for all the corners we have!

How is Justin getting stick here?! 

At fault for the goal and looked shaky at back. Decent coming forward but he doesn't fill me with confidence at all 

[Dames]

Justin is a good player but he’s clearly not a left back. Much better on the right side of the pitch. 

[Manwell Pablo]

Handball to me silly sleeve rule or not.

Wood certainly pushes Justin... doesn’t get mentioned  

You wont hear Shearer complaining after a career of routinely elbowing defenders in the face and kicking Neil Lennon.

That's handball

 Last season yes but not this I don't think it gets ruled out.

Am I going mad? I hate seeing goals ruled out softly by VAR but surely that’s a shove from Wood. Don’t mind physicality but he’s literally used both arms. 

[Vacamion]

 

I thought Justin worked hard and came back well.

Shaky how? He's done barely anything wrong and it was a foul on him for the goal

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Talking about its on his sleeve, replay made it deffo look like it was on his skin... Stupid call

Sharm ... wtf 

[Manini]

I think Keown is playing a game with himself to see how much shit he can get away with chatting. He’s completely ignored everything good we’ve done and made it sound like we can’t get out of our own half.

He's decent but not quite the level we want to be at.

He got bullied (literally) by a man mountain. That means he's soft and not cut for the PL. I wonder how Chilwell would have stood up against Wood in an aerial duel...

[CloudFox]

Praet, Barnes and Justin linking up really nicely on the left. Castagne looking great on the right too.

 

Perez looks useful linking play in the middle, but not much of a threat on the right.

 

Personally think Wood's goal was a handball, but whatever. All square and think we'll turn the screw second half.

So hope Barnes gets a goal.
 

This is the type of game I dread, when we are supposed clear favourites to win. They’ll sit very deep and hope to hit us ok the counter, or that Wood gets in the end of a cross (and he almost always scores against us). We need to be on it and get an early goal

Good call. Not quite Nostradamus class, we all knew what could happen.

Because he's been quite poor so far. Hopefully he'll pick it up second half.

Football would be rubbish with every team playing side to side posession football, waht make games interesting is contrasting styles. Leave out the football snobbery.

 

Brighton almost went down last season also and Burnley finished 10th so go figure.

But what's he done wrong here? He's decent and considering he's the best option we have, plus his youth and lack of experience, he's doing very well.

 

Standard FT though. Get on a lads back cos he might not be world class.
