you could be onto Something there.

Mitchell played pretty good yesterday - but he still gave the ball away needlessley, and in dangerous areas on a Few occasions.
needs to grow a bit as we've got an excellent player there, but he needs to cut those errors out of his game.
I think PVA will be back in as soon as he's ready.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

PVA will make a difference going forward and he has a good understanding with players on the left which give us more thrust down that side.
Townsend and Schlupp have started the season reasonably well and hopefully Zaha will rediscover his form.
If Jairo gets a run in midfield this should improve our passing range.
On the other hand, I still think we’ll struggle to score goals this season though.
We create very little and Batshuayi only comes alive in the penalty area. I suspect Ayew will start ahead of him when fit as he suits Roy’s way of playing with his work rate.
I also suspect we’ll only see Eze in a limited role until he’s indoctrinated in Roy’s methods which is disappointing.
In summary, we should be less boring than we were yesterday in the coming weeks but don’t expect too much!

Does it not make more sense to rather than play Schlupp in a role so that he can hold Mitchell's hand and ensure he doesn't get overwhelmed, that he plays at left back himself ? Leaving Zaha to play on the left in front of him and Eze in the middle ?

I have to agree; if we can't play with some enterprise or passion against our biggest rivals then what is the flippin' point? Seaweed look like they are trying to build a new attacking sh1t or bust style, which at least their fans must like watching, while we just look like we have settled for being hard to beat and that's all. Boring.

‘A hard working defensive display’ says Roy. It is Brighton FFS!!! UnAmbitious dross!

When everyone was raving about Meyer before he signed, I hadn't even heard of him and struggled to get involved in the hype! But as we slowly got glimpses of him you could see he is a fantastic little footballer who is very confident with the ball. He keeps possession and very rarely gives the ball away. These are the players we need if we are to get the midfield involved with the forwards. These type create space and make other players run into space. To think Camarasa (of whom we'll never know) Meyer and Jairo have not featured at all is criminal and clarifys what Hodgson is about. McArthur who was our box to box now often resides in front of the back 4 along with the majority of our midfield!! Even Luka has stopped scoring. I've never been a fan of Hodgson and like a lot of fans at the moment, I'm glad I'm not going. Just gutted they are still taking my season ticket money. Give the job to Freedman for the rest of the season.... he has unfinished business!
