    I missed all but 30mins of the first half. Was gut wrenching to see the notification for Rice getting sent off and conceding a goal.

    Havent caught any replays yet and we’re traveling back to Bergen today. Any pros and cons of the game other than not taking our chances in the final 3rd?

      pros - Kai and Kayo have built up some sort of chemistry together - we might not need an out and out striker. The team did well to limit Brighton’s chances even when down to ten men. Partey needs to leave, his underhit pass forced Rice to make a lunge tackle and get his first yellow and during their equaliser he just gave up trying to track back when he could have prevented the rebound from being tapped in.

        We limited their chances after the red, and we also created three really good chances. The debate over whether we need someone who will finish them is not new, but on another day Havertz/Saka bury one of those and we win despite the red.
