That is quite a flattering scoreline for a generally uninspired performance so far. But then again Brighton also deserved very little from this game, setting up so defensively for a home match. The goal from a corner really was crucial for us, we're much more comfortable playing against teams that have to attack us.
I'm despairing at that midfield duo, especially Hendo - they keep putting themselves between the central defenders, as if they needed any help to pass it sideways to each other. What we need is more of what Coutinho has just done - ran with the ball through the middle, actually took some risks under pressure to create more space. Henderson is too scared to try anything these days, boring as F**k. He can be so much better than that.
