If we did sack Ralph I'd bring back Puel personally. No, not on the wind up, he'd get our defence in order at least.

Exactly. Some people are totally deluded. Koeman will not come back here, Lampard would be hilarious in how bad it would be (you think our defending now is bad). Anyone else would probably hold out for a better opportunity. Then you've got morons who genuinely think Allardyce (relegated last season) would be a good option. The fact is, until we get new owners who invest properly in the playing team, we are where we are. Personally I think we should be doing better in the league and the two home draws were poor results but enough to sack Ralph? Absolutely not.

Exactly. It would be a completely different story if we were playing like this having spunked on £30m players.

We'll be fine anyway, we're not going down. I imagine we'll draw at Palace and we'll beat Brentford (who aren't that great)

We've not been competitive since we sacked Puel, and the only spell we have looked relatively decent is under Ralph. I'd rather trust Ralph than some of the names being bandied about... Lampard, come on, he can't coach a defence. There's a reason Norwich turned him down...

Bad performance. Players gave up. Need investment so we can sack most of them off. Keep Ralph, he isn't the problem.

Just hope we'll be a bit more competitive than against Liverpool...

Yeah, the relegation season it definitely happened as well

Don't have a problem with vaccine passports, they've worked in France as a way of encouraging vaccine uptake. It's much preferable to lockdowns.

Which of course is exactly what happened in this fixture 2 years ago

I give it 20 minutes into the Arsenal game before he gets written off

I'm usually optimistic but even I can't see how we get anything from this game

We're still a better team than last season IMO. Eventually it will click. Just got to learn to push for a second once we do take the lead. Next week of course will be about defending against a very good Arsenal team.

FFS, I wanted them in Round 3!!

Come on. Brighton did fuck all in that game. They were shite.

Rubbish, not his fault we missed multiple opportunities

We played well and deserved the win. Sadly our players are utterly thick, from Romeu's stupid tackle to JWP. Fucking shite from them.

That Stuart Armstrong stat is a bit misleading, he came off the bench against Leeds and Watford when we were already winning

Honestly think we'll win this. Our home form is decent (for us anyway), and they haven't won since September!

I'd honestly have no issue with Red Bull, providing they leave us with individuality and we're not just an English RB Leipzig. Red Bull's style tends to be to take over smaller clubs anyway so I doubt it will be them, despite the obvious connections with Ralph.

Does anyone know if the supporter is OK? That's the most important thing

I would've taken 4 points from Leicester and Brighton, so if we do win, and I think we will, this will look like a decent result.

Guess who went off injured for Brighton tonight, just 3 days before playing us... Yup, he's bottled it again

McCarthy may have parried the shot to their first goal and should've saved it but with Forster in goal the initial shot goes in... Forster doesn't stop the second either No way does Forster make that fingertip save either. We need a better first team goalkeeper, don't think there's anyone who doesn't recognise that. But an aging Forster is the worst option for sure.

One day I am convinced we will end up winning 9-0 in the league. It's the Ralph prophecy
