Dont know about anyone else what you lot think but Im not thinking their goal was a mistake by Kepa. I just dont think he was good enough to stop it.But he was OK at times.

Front 4 has to be PULI WERNER ZIYECH KAI Those 4 are so fluid and will be inter changing they will be shooting from everywhere. No team will know who to mark. Im excited

I was hoping he had sharpened his ice skates but the lad looks totally broken. I was watching him and he was looking round as if to way WTF is going on? Looked like hed been hitting the balloons! Why did he come back out in 2nd half? Just so FL didn't upset him? Maybe he needs upsetting? Or at least getting some home truthes. Like you need to pull yer bloody sox up lad!.

I hope I'm wrong thinking hes too stuborn and needs more coaching experience. But when he came I said Id give him 3 years. I just pray to the atoms he learns from mistakes.

WELL! Whoever was bigging up RLC pre game whats your thoughts now? Gotta go IMO. The CBs shocked me - not 1 bad thing to say about them. Rock steady! Reece had little mistakes but better corner taker than Willian and needs to let that right foot swing more. Havertz was a little tiger. Ran himself ragged. NEEDS to be behind Werner as we all said before hand. Seems HL doesnt read TC! He will be great. Mount is a hard one. I dont know just where he fits in. Ziyech will be on RW. Havertz will be ACM. Back 2 should be Kova/Kante unless Rice comes. So Im totally at a loss with the lad/ See where his dad plays him and who loses their spot to him. Werner may well be my new man crush. Watching that after match interview gave me a semi lol Guys gonna be a Phenom! Gotta say tho guys. My main worry is FL! He worries me that hes too much of a stubborn sod. I dont understand if when he sees a formation or player isnt working then change it. WHY did he keep RLC n for a extra 15 mins in 2nd half? But not gonna bitch n whine. We need to get all the new lads in, get them gelling, HOPE FL finds a formation and a team that works before I make a proper thought. A wins a win

Well I'm outta here guys n gals. Done a Ruby so going to be grumphing watching game and splashing red stuff everywhere! Have a great game wherever youre watching it. Lets all scream loud when we score so all the neighbors think summets going on! COYFB!

Didnt he have our highest numbers of retrieves last season?

Guess we will see if Dunk was worth us looking at him and turning him down. Bet he will be fired up.

Lets hope AC keeps steady.That back 5 just gives me jelly wobbles!

lets see what RLC has got. Should be interesting COYFB

Well if we think that way thre were MANY home games especially last season they were all shite against teams we SHOULD have beat. I want us to start this season fresh and on the upbeat. Give all the lads a new start.h

Agree - but if we keep saying that he never will. And if he cant play against a numpty team like Brighton he needs to go on loan!

You need a spliff to chill lol

Good lad! I'm steaming! The Guinness has been going down like water since 2pm! Going to be great just to be able to watch the game at home on the big screen with only the Mrs shouting at me to 'calm down calm down'

I want to see Werner and Kai rip the PL apart! But to have all the guys full of passion,pride and fight will make it all great!

Id like to see us use a high press for more than defence. We have skilled FAST players so quick runs with short fast passes should be 2nd nature. Both Werner and Kai were in high press attacks. Lets hope the idea is to get in score a couple quick so they just throw down tools and concede the game.

Im kinda saying this as a thought out loud but would appreciate someone saying if Im right or talking bollox. Been slowly catching up with things and I dont know if Im right or wrong but its looking to me that FL is using the high press more as a defensive strategy rather than attack based.!? And with is having quite big % of posession we have been making a lot of sideways/back passes?? Add to that we have been creating a lot of chances but nobody has been there good enough for the last 1 or 2 touches?? Our goals for and assists should go much higher now with the new lads. but this very much depends on what formation FL sees us using. I saw a good piece comparing his time at Derby with his time so far here and the comparison was quite similar. They both prioritized going forward and the goals let in were disgustingly bad. I know we brought in another coach but he doesnt SEEM to be defence trained. But we need something drastic to help out back there. Its our only proper weakness. Just read this. Interesting.

COMPLETELY agree! Especially when FL sticks Rudi on outside of a back 3! WTF is he smoking sometime? You telling me he couldnt give him 10 mins in a game here n there? I think FL gets stubborn tho.

Cracked me up the Rudi interview when he tried to take the piss saying Thiago was one of the best for HIS generation! Thiago was SUPPOSED To be back training at the weekend. Also said Ziyech may be out weeks! ‘We hope it’s a matter of weeks, hopefully a couple of weeks, but we will have to see on that one.

For WHATEVER reason tho FL doesnt trust Tomori and seems hes off to Everton.. So IF Thiago is out we are back to our awful CBs so we will be having a open door to teams just throwing goals in. Thats unless Mendy is everything Kepa isn't. But either way we need another TOP CB I want Rice as DM but Id be happy with him best to Thiago

You happy to stay with our CBs if Thiago gets a knock etc? Bens not the strongest defender. I know all our CBs give me palpatations. We need much stronger defence.

Would kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

MAYBE even loan then Billy G too?

It has frustrated me this season how FL hasn't given even a few minutes here n there to certain players. Yet continued playing others even tho they were playing shite. Time will tell wirh RLC. Ive been wanting to be proven wrong about him and will be happy to shout his name if he comes good. CHO is just a big ego and a hormone exploding. Hopefully the contract thing and Bayern will fade and he will get his leg over and he will sort his big and little head out. HOPE they both have a great season.
