Brighton Hove Albion v Newcastle United

Turned off after the 3rs goal absolutely woeful performance for the 3rd week running Jolo Bruno Tonali looks great on paper but clearly isn't working. We saw today why Eddie start Burn over Targett buy why Targett started over 35m Hall I don't know. Even Burn starting CB was wrong in my opinion he's been played at LB for to long now to simply revert back within a week.

Halls fitness not up to Eddie’s standards apparently

I think the players, not the cooking manager, need to have a word with themselves and get this crapp sorted out. 3 losses in a row ffs. We can forget about doing anything in the C L based on this performance, hopeless!

Couldn’t pick out one player that was up to standard

That was the worst performance under Eddie since we went out to Cambridge in the cup.

Players need to have a word with themselves and refind the sizzle of last season.

I think Pope is causing so much problems and needs to be replaced
You could see that our defence has lost confidence in him

To top it all off the Mackems beat Southampton, couldn't get much worse.

Can see why we tried to get Lloris in yesterday but maybe he was told he would only be back up so its understandable he turned us down.

I thought Wilson took his goal well.

Very easy to overreact on the back of a heavy defeat but the fact is Brighton do that to pretty much everyone once they take the lead. They’re good - better than us I would argue - certainly at home. We were below par and got deservedly beaten. That was our first poor performance of the season but the way some people go on you’d think we’re in a crisis!

Our midfield 3 is unbalanced and needs work. Our defence is extremely vulnerable without Botman and we’re a one trick pony with our tactics. Beat our press, which was half-arsed today, and you’re through on goal. Players, coaching staff and fans need to do better but must stick together. Things have been a lot worse.

Performances aside, the only really disappointing result has been Liverpool. It’s no big surprise not to get points at Brighton or City.
We have a key 2 weeks coming up and I’m almost pleased now that Pope didn’t get called up. A lot of work needed in these 2 weeks and we need a convincing display against Brentford to set us up for the CL games.

Our squad is good but the performances need drastic improvement and it needs to be now.
Time for Tripps to hold a players meeting too.
