Terrible match and the players showed the recent form was just a mirage, this is still not a serious team. Brighton played it perfectly and made the game boring, wasted time and made sure that only our CBs had time on the ball.

Players like Reguilon and Emerson cannot do anything.

I disagree. Our form wasn't a mirage - it demonstrated the clear improvement under Conte after a few months of coaching.

The problem is that we lack the quality in the squad in terms of starting XI (wing backs, etc) and depth to grind out results like that consistently and not shit the bed unexpectedly like today.

Edit: perhaps I do agree to a certain extent over the 'still not a serious team' part but the good results have been deserved.
 
These cunts thought they had won the game before a ball had been kicked, no urgency even when we went a goal down. Up there with a Nuno type Performance. Kane talks about wanting to win things but turns in a showing like that in a Crucial game, he didn’t move all game.
 
We should still get 4th place. There was no chance they would get 3 points every game, same with gooners. On to the next.
 
We couldn't string two fucking passes together in the 2nd half. Gave the ball away a million fucking times. Literally any team in the world seems to be better at passing the ball than we are.

Are you serious bro? You see that noone of our players in the back/midfielders can't do anything with the ball, they can't make a single through ball, they can't move with the ball, they are struggling with regular passes.

It's not a management errors, but our individuals in this positions being totally bad.

None of what you just said has anything to do with defensive shape. Sort your head out mate.

Could see this happening from the first 5 mins of Romero not wanting to pass to Emerson and the flow of our game getting crunched, from the off.

Conte tinkering around the key problem was never going to work.

If he doesn't find a solution to RWB - where our players (especially Romero) feel they can pass the ball to, and rely on, the person there - we will not make CL imvho.

It's the beginning of a rot.

Needs to be nipped in the bud.

If we don’t solve the RWB issue we’re in trouble.

He has to give Moura or Bergwijn a go there. Emerson looks like a competition winner.
 
Deserved win for Brighton today. Midfield and wingbacks very poor. Not giving Bergwijn 30mins was wrong. Winks shouldn't be seeing the field at this stage, could have done with an Ndombele or Lo Celso from the bench.
 
Brighton were better today. Midfield lack of creativity exposed. Last match, Spurs won playing over the top (ball from Romero to Kane/Son, ball from Dier, etc.). Brighton took that away so Son and Kulu were neutralized.
