I'm actually pretty zen about the result. It was a much,much better performance than I hoped for and we had a few opportunities to score. If we play to the level for the rest of the games, we'll push them all the way.

This feels ominous now. Horribly, miserably so. Cheating bastards.

Ah, bollocks.

He did. Looked like he caught his foot on the net and did it to free it up.

I think we need to change something, it's starting to get into 'saw it coming' territory.

Nelli seems determined to do something for City...😢

Sorry Nuneatonites, collateral damage.

Our pre-match assumptions about Taylor's refereeing seem very fair. It's going to take GBH.

Nunes 😂

If an Arsenal player gets at the assistant and ref the way Nuneaton did there, it's a booking.

Hincapie is not having the best game in possession so far.

It is, a few minutes by the looks of it 😂

O'Reilly is a cracking player, but that's far too easy from Noni.

Loving Eze and Kai so far, please, please keep it up.

I think he genuinely believes I'm in trauma. I might be.

Now, fucking get on it!!!

What the actual fuck?!?!?!

That's so poor from Eze, no attempt to fight for that. And then it's so easy to walk through. Fuming, and that is going to make it unbelievably difficult now. So very soft.

Erm, guys. I'm not enjoying this so far.

I see a lot of similar thoughts on Madueke over Martinelli at RW - I think it's a bold move. With O'Reilly being offensive as he is at LB, you'd think it's either going to prove a great way of keeping him pinned back or it's going to hurt when he's on the front foot...

I don't know why I haven't enjoyed Brighton's shithousery so much before?

This is a dance off. If you see this repost a dance, or you are eliminated.

😂...😢

Couple it with Saka's current problems and it feels especially problematic.

Spot on - if it is tendinopathy then it is pretty well recognised as an overuse injury...

Am I reading too much into Mikel's comment about Noni being "a player who pushes through pain"? It doesn't read well to me.

I can't believe the negativity. Hit by injuries and we controlled most of the game. Rice looks shattered, completely. Zubimendi much better, Jesus with a little bit of form...I'm happy.

What a brilliant time for Jesus to rediscover some form. If he needs to be wide to do it, let's get him out there!

To be fair to Araujo, Quaresma has used this leg fairly well to match his foul tally.

When I said "Jesus" in my last message, it was not a request.
