Maupay has been crap in both games against us this season, I dunno what the fuck he was doing today, he was on a personal mission to get into a petty argument with every player on the pitch.

Aside from being a dirty little so-and-so, he's not been that great in general. He has 7 goals. Wesley has been widely derided as a bad signing and has 6. I must be missing something as to why Maupay is so well thought of as a Premier League goalscorer.

I was thinking the same. It would have been useful to have another striker in addition to Wesley, but that doesn't mean we'd be 7 goals better off as a consequence.

It was always going to be hard to replace Tammy from last season. He was such a good player. He worked very hard and got into great positions. We’ve missed that so much. Also we’ve never had the same quality in front of the defence for this standard. We just need to survive and strengthen again.

Very decent point in the circumstances. Desperately need Samatta paperwork done for Tuesday and it's a winnable game.

A proper forward in that set up and we will look alot better, just having Vassilev up there today pressing the Brighton back line made us look better.

Good point today, other results have done us no harm either so a positive day all round.

Would you bring Chester in for Watford on Tuesday and have him central with Tyrone and Konsa either side?

Drop Drinkwater and bring Luiz back in too.

Really need a focal point up top, can’t see Samatta being sorted by Tuesday though?

Highlights

Agreed also, the highlights don’t show Grealish’s chance just before they scored for some reason.

Never saw the angle behind the goal but surely Reina should be saving that shot?

There was a real flare up after a tactical foul by Hourihane in the final minute. I don't usually condone this sort of behaviour , tactical fouls,  I'm a football skills artist but it was needed and something necessary at the end to stop the break away.
Have to say well done after seeing players fly by at times this season Hourihane did stop play.


It didn’t flare up when Dunk did the same thing in the first half.

Stupid question.... how come we are playing Watford on Tuesday so soon after playing them on 28 Dec?

I though Drinkwater grew in to the game. With fitness there is a player there.

Thoughts on today.

VERY happy with a point given the circumstances.
The first half performance was as bad as i can remember.
Drinkwater was dreadful, slow, sloppy and completely off the pace.
I think bringing the young lad Vassilev on added some spark/life to our performance, as did Luiz.
Jack's goal (and Luiz's pass) were quality.
Maupay is a little shitbag.

Other than that the same problems and lack of quality were VERY apparent. But for today let's be happy we got something.


Agree on Vassilev - made decent runs, made their defence do something.

Vassilev made a great run which created the space for Luiz to pass into for Jack's goal.  Very clever.

Highlights

What a shot, unleashed to the far corner when he’s running in the opposite direction!

Thanks for posting, Legion.
