I don't mind losing games! But the way we have played (and being set up) after the World Cup is just abysmal. With the exception of Olise who at least tried, the trio of Ayew, Mateta and Schlupp set up a stand-still defensive "wall" in the middle of the pitch or thereabout.
Pressing, running - nah! Think our lack of strength and movement will cost us dearly. In the end we will need more Sanchez luck to avoid relegation.

If you can’t show any passion nor commitment against your biggest rivals then something is seriously wrong in the camp. If management and board can’t see that then they’re in the wrong job!

Ridiculous statement, Hodgson and Vieira are chalk and cheese, Roy's sides were always highly organised, defend, defend, defend, respect the point, counter attack, boring, but effective, and Roy had a far worse squad than PV has now

I have slept on it and read a number of posts on here and agree with most.
We got a point we didn't deserve. We were woeful in midfield and upfront throughout.
Brighton's disallowed goal has been proved to have been onside.
We look unfit. We seem to have no identity and a considerable lack of effort to boot.
PV stood there unhappy but he trains them and sets them up so he has to bear some blame.
Olise looks worn out. Eze needs to be sold. Schlupp and Ayew need more time on the bench.
No Wilf admittedly and the new boys looked good for the short time they were on and JMac is fit again - some positives.
PV needs to pick a side and stop tinkering or leave the club.

Doucoure isn't as good as Hughes, cant pass, too lightweight, a booking every 3 games, slow, a poor purchase, again.

No matter how good Brighton were yesterday, we were diabolical! PV doesn’t seem to get a spark out of the players. I watched Eze when he came on, he didn’t close down the Brighton defence from the moment he was on the pitch.

The Brighton back line were not pressured at all throughout the entire 90 minutes. I blame PV for this 100%, SP needs to have a word with him and say “ this ain’t working”

How we got a point yesterday was so undeserved, I felt embarrassed about it. We are behind the likes of Brentford and Brightons of this world on every level.
