If Meslier was out due to covid, would that have meant the training ground was closed so we couldn’t train for part of the week? We looked off and far from sharp today, lots of wrong options and stray passes. We never really got going. Really disappointed after that result, but fair play to Brighton...

1. Man management. Totally mis managed the talents of Pablo, dropping him for kicking a water bottle ffs. Kiko again mismanaged, you cannot demote a staff member and expect them to still give their best....should have got rid when banned. JKA, dunno what happened there, he wanted him, but then didn...

Do what? We've not had enough time to put a new one in. Was last fully reconstructed 25 years ago with the playing surface last replaced in 2013. They have worked on it a lot but the weather here over the past week and a half probably set them back quite a bit. Agree, the pitch wasn’t in a state fo...

A bit more promising and threatening from Leeds

It’s shocking

We’re second best by a distance so far. We need to keep hold of the ball

Is Meslier out due to covid?

Big game for Kiko. He’s done little to warrant a place in the team, hopefully he can step up today

Brighton have a very depleted squad according to the Guardian they have Tariq Lamptey, ( 11) Aaron Connolly,(10) Danny Welbeck,(9),Adam Lallana(14), and Alireza Jahanbakhsh(15) all missing. appearances in brackets Three strikers out. All we will need to do is keep Maupay ( 18) shackled. Great. Brig...

3-1 Bamford Rodrigo Raphinha (Dezzy)

Wolves 2 - 0 W Brom
W Ham 2 - 1 Burnley
Leics 3- 1 South'ton
Sheff U 1- 2 Spurs
Liverpool 2-2 Man U
Man C 5 - 0 C Palace

That really was shocking. Fair play to Crawley they put in a great performance. Kikos last game for us hopefully, a lot of poor performances but that guy didn’t even try to put his hand up for Meslier’s starting spot

Great 3 points against a Burnley side that know how to stay in this league, I’m sure all the doomsday merchants will slag off most of the team as being not good enough

A horrible result. Far too easy for them to score. As has been said Burnley and WBA are massive games. Burnley will be tough, but I’d back our lads to pick up 6 from those two games which would put us in such a good position, massive run of games

True, but I’d imagine clubs won’t have a much cash to spend this window. People were saying we over spent on him at 7m only a few months back, 20-30m I’d send him off happily and remember him as a great player for us

Seriously? Around top of the scoring charts, January window, British, and you’d take £20m? :duno: If it meant we invested in a replacement yes. Bamford has done great for us and is in great form this season, well beyond anyone could’ve expected, but playing in this team is a strikers dream if they’...

20m would be tempting the guy has done so well this season but all those misses over the past few seasons would make me happy to see us cash in on his good form. We need more of a presence in the box

More even to consider how poor he was in front of goal last season, he has been amazing, I wonder what the club would do should a big bid come in for him in January

Nice to have a bit of luck

Very lucky, I don’t know how VAR left it go balances out some of the soft penalties against us

What a fantastic result and performance. We made a pretty decent Newcastle side look clueless. It all could’ve been so different though Struijk has to come in to add a bit more presence defending set pieces. Harrison’s assist and goal were top class, hopefully that gives him some confidence, Bamford...
