Was at the game, Brighton looked to copy Everton and have bodies behind ball, we got in so many quality positions but lacked that final pass and shooting from outside the box left when Lampard did,

Thankfully we have people that can head the ball. With packed defences the best way to draw them out is to shoot from range and they will try and close you down. The chances we are creating and not turning them into goals is still worrying and an attacking midfielder is a must.

C1955 you have hit the nail on the head mate, "the best way to draw them out is to shoot from range and they will try and close you down". If we had long range shooters in our squad then the fear would have drawn out defenders and that would have created the extra space that we need. We are not as fluid as Man City or Liverpool in breaking down packed defenses unfortunately and we don't have goal scorers across our team like they do and therefore when one comes we fluff our line i. e. baka's yard miss today.
It is very obvious that our goals come from either Morata or Hazard and the odd few from Alonso. Barely any goals from the rest. Usually if you stop the threat of Hazard and Morata then we generally struggle. We need more goals from the rest of our players or need to buy players that can contribute with goals look at the different tyoe of scorers in Man City and liverpool for examole.

Everyone sitting around me was saying how we miss that danger from distance, Oscar liked to shoot but we need that midfield goal scorer, azpi flawless again and Kante a machine, Stoke game is start same team and if they want to sit I’d swap drinkwater for bakyoko,

Just seen the news about Van Dijk I’m not sorry we never went in for him as I believe Christensen is nearly at that level already and will overall be better than him and £75 million is ridiculous add to that Zouma to come back Ampadu and Clarke Salter the future looks great for us.
