Brighton (H) - Weds 1st December, 7.30pm

Yeoldhammer

I like Trossard, classly little player.

OldCastleSwift

Pretty sketchy first 15. We're ahead, but haven't played particularly well. Keep conceding possession in midfield and Zouma is looking ropey at the back.

Their 'keeper is looking dreadful though, so we really need to test him.

OldCastleSwift

78% possession for Brighton. Yikes.

Yeoldhammer

78% possession for Brighton and were at home.

whupathman

they are running out of subs already

And we’re winning.

Yeoldhammer

Another Brighton player down with cramp, 2 early subs for Brighton maybe.

yoyo

Apart from the goal we've looked a bit out of sorts in the first 20 minutes

whupathman

coufal is back

whupathman

Antonio out of sorts

whupathman

we are giving it away cheaply in MF

Yeoldhammer

26 minutes 25 passes completed to 148 of Brightons. That is shocking even if we are winning.

Yeoldhammer

Fornals volleys onto the bar

OldCastleSwift

Fornals rattles the bar. Better.

They are up to 80% possession now and we are at home. Chelsea on Saturday looks a frightening prospect.

Who cares about all of Brighton’s pointless passes?

And yet 7 attempts on goal vs 3.

thornburyiron

They may be pointless but whilst they are making them we don’t have the ball.

OldCastleSwift

Yeah, this isn't a great performance again. Yet we could easily be 3-0 up.

Yeoldhammer

Bowen trying a superman attempt on a fast ball in from Fornals after good work from Rice

yoyo

They'll run out of puff, then we'll pounce. It's our master plan

We’ve done more with our 25% than they’ve done with their 75%.

whupathman

Two muscle injuries, poor warm ups or unlucky

Yeoldhammer

Antonio very much off the pace

Yeoldhammer

big save from Fabianski, Brighton cut through us in 3 passes with Trossard outside of the boot pass.

OldCastleSwift

Top, top save. Should be 1-1.

thornburyiron

We seem a shadow of the side pre international break.

OldCastleSwift

Johnson on the left is not as good as Johnson on the right.

If Moyes doesn't trust Masuaku at left back, we need a new one soon, because I don't think Johnson is the answer.

OldCastleSwift

Benrahma and Antonio both struggling to recapture their early season form. Lingard could be a very important January signing as he provides competition for both.

whupathman

Benni having one of those games, loose passes
