When you see this it’s baffling why martinelli and Pépé don’t get a chance

Watching kiwi's feed, and it's got Robbie Earle in the studio.

Christ, he looks old now.

Wow Dixon showing at half time how two no pressure passes from Brighton have them with a clear run at the back 4 and a shot at goal

I have watched the last four games very carefully and I am just grateful we have been playing some weaker teams because I am genuinely scared about what a really top team could do to us. My God we make late era GG teams look like world beaters. Once Brighton sussed us out they have gained in confidence. God we are really *%^@. Relegation is a real possibility

Thinking the same. Pépé needs to be given a chance.

We are allergic to wingers and dependant on stupidity

This display proves something to me; despite Emery's shortcomings, the players just don't care enough.

We talk about the players not being coached for off the ball work, but as well these are experienced professional footballers, what are they doing and thinking? Surely they watch games back and realise they are weak positionally, don’t track runs etc

Too much space in midfield. We need to get extra bodies in midfield because those three ain't enough.

They ain't good enough

I would be picking the U23 for first team games right now. They’d hopefully at least show a bit of fight

We are utter utter shite. Outplayed again by a team at the bottom - and comprehensively so!

Since the last 2 months of last season, our form has fallen off a cliff. Wtf is going on?

We could have an extra man on the pitch and it wouldn’t make any difference.
When we play a back 4 it’s too loose and outnumbered
A midfield 3 is weak and outnumbered
And a front 3 isn’t enough to trouble teams with shots

Pépé on

1-1. The most energy I’ve seen in 5 mins from us

Lacazette near post header. He’s been threatening to do that all game when he hasn’t had his shirt tugged!

Lacazette !!!!!!!

A bit of fight and we're level. I hope Freddie gave them an almighty bollocking at half time.

Much better.

So far.

Dont stop the momentum

Simply raised the tempo, suddenly were pinning them back we’re making runs and the game changes.

Now concentrate

I hope they got the biggest bollocking of all time

Ref has let so much go today. So many free kicks should have been given and he’s done nothing

Another clear foul not called

Leno saves us again. Exasperating how we never engage the man with the ball, just backing off and backing off

Thank goodness for Leno

How isn’t that a yellow? Look at what Sokratis got his yellow for. Pépé was potentially away on goal there

OMG when they break we have no midfield cover at all. You would have thought that the lessons of Norwich would have been noted.

Goal disallowed mile offside

Offside

I find it amazing how a defender facing his own goal can get the tiniest nudge, go over and always win the free kick. If the same happened in the penalty area it wouldn’t be given as a pen

Obvious yellow for Luiz but where was the one when Pépé could have been through.

20 mins to go, time wasting already happening

Once again, how is that one not a yellow card. Lunges in and very late on Kola. Well worse than Sokratis foul.

This ref is really not being consistent and fair

I think they are basically stupid John ..... even though we have more intensity and have equalised there are so many times with break away opportunities .... they pause , pass sideways , backwards by which time are well and truly organised ..... can't figure how the players don't see this .

I think playing Aubameyang and Lacazette together is not effective for us. Aubameyang is better in the middle.

2-1 Brighton. Far too easy

So, our usual 2 goals conceded then. Sigh.

Why am I not surprised?

Well you've just been proved right.

Marking is non-existent.

God help us.

Once again no one engaging the player on the ball. Awful off the ball work to not track a runner, mooy allowed all the time in the world to put a simple cross in for a free header.

We looked lovely for 15 mins but we’re officially dead again

Xhaka with no effort to try to head it away. Our players are just so lazy.
