BTW: Leaving the shocking Davis on at half time was another one of MPs heroics. Watching 45 minutes of Football and not having a clue who your weakest Performer is..

Time to drop Davis, Romeu and Tadic. Put Lemina, Boufal and Gabbi in their place.

I know Romeu is a battler but that is all he is. If we continue to play this system then we don't need someone like that. We need pace and skill and someone to get us going forward. Oh well the season ticket will be cheaper next year.

See last week's match report! Thought I'd been transported in time to Saturday at West Brom when I saw the team sheet. At least he changed things at half time but by then Brighton had settled into their defensive groove and we were lucky with the equaliser. Stephens and Ward-Prowse were our best players, both striving to get the ball forward but so often one player moves out quickly with the ball only to have to stop and wait for the others to catch him up. When Brighton broke, they had seven or eight players rushing forward giving options. You could tell how frustrated Stephens was getting at the slowness and he probably took the ball further forward and more often than I'd seen him do in the past, purely because he felt that no one else was playing with enough urgency. Tadic is the eternal enigma - playing well for a few weeks but then having a poor one again. But with the team set-up he was always going to struggle to make an impact. Cedric was cancelled out by the pace of Izquierdo and rarely got space going forward. Boufal seemed to get a knock in the ribs within minutes of coming on and that affected his involvement for the rest of the game. Carillo looks a handful but was easily dealt with by Dunk and Duffy. Sadly Gabbiadini looks like he's almost given up.
Davis is, sadly as I've been a big fan of his, off the pace these days. He has few ideas and loses it more often than not. And Romeu has been a shadow of the player he was last season and constantly gave the ball away.
Which begs the question, what is wrong with Lemina. He had a dip in form after his injury but was showing improvement recently and really needs a run in the side, replacing Davis. And, while Redmond has few fans these days, he is a dangerous player when he's on song but I don't think he's played since getting 10 minutes at Fulham.
This squad has plenty of talent that is either not firing or being ignored.
It comes to something when the only consolation I can muster is that at least we're not being hammered on a regular basis so our goal difference may be the difference between us and some of the others at the end of a horrid season.

How the hell did Steven Davis get to play the entire match?

Is Davis on drugs, by the way? Great post match interview, scratching his face, lips all blue, and rubbing his big, swollen nose. No more games for Steven.

Lemini was immense , JWP as well.

New kid has plenty to think he could be good.

Just play the strongest team each game and worry about the next game after.

I still worry about our defence and think nick was right and our priority should have been a c/b in the transfer window
