Is Ralls back for Brighton then?
If hes fit. Even without the 5 yellows hed be back in.
If hes not fit we are in trouble.
Assume so. I don't rate Arter, his anticipation is ****ing shocking and he gets himself into woeful positions while he ball watches. If someone can tell me what he does well, apart from close down the opposition, i'd be grateful.
Didn’t even notice him being booked today.
He fouled Maddison who was in the refs face all game. Maddison does a Grealish and goes down like hes been shot but play continued. Next break in play he booked Arter.Quote:

Gunnar, after a great game v Fulham has gone back to last seasons, hit and hope , Arter is just a better version of Gunnar and Camerasa seems unsure of where he should be.
Reid was uncharacteristicly quiet as well.
1). Gives 100% and covers every blade of grass every game. 2). Gets tackles in and breaks up opposition play. 3) Gets forward in support of forwards. 4). Passes the ball well. 5). You dont know what you are talking aboutQuote:

Arter clearly crap.
Reid showed again that he is not up to it. So lightweight, with an underdeveloped physique that resembled that of an average teenager, he seems unable to compete. When he gets the ball he can't get rid of it quick enough passing the ball sideways being his speciality. He never seems to strike the ball cleanly - even his goal against Fulham seemed scuffed. He had an exceptionally poor game yesterday offering nothing either in midfield or attack. He is a glaring weakness in the team and surprisingly (to me at least) he seems to have fans on here. No wonder he was the first to be substituted. After the remaining substitutes our game fell apart but fair play to Leicester they certainly know how to close out a game.
I disagree with the criticisms of Arter. He is good at breaking up play and goes forward when the space he has created allows and provides support to the forwards. Murphy, Arter and the classy Camarasa have been excellent signings in my view.

We may need to move Camarasa up to 10 instead and add a further body into midfield. We can't afford players in the side who only contribute occasionally at this level.Quote:
