That was in Ronnie Rosenthal territory but at least Rosenthal hit the bar.

That's a shocker of a miss from 6 or 7 yards out. Open goal, hits it over the bar. It wasn't the worst height for him either.

Connolly just missed an open goal. As the TV commentator said about 8 times, that was a really bad miss.

He might be better getting off social media again.

He's played > 70 minutes about 3 or 4 times in his career I would've guessed.

He's a good player, just not a finisher. Still think his future is as a left sided forward but Brighton don't really play with that setup.

I have my doubts that Connolly is going to make it at this level long-term but I'd say his goalscoring record is pretty identical to Maupay when you factor in minutes played and take out the penalties Maupay pads out his record with.

Maupay can go months without scoring or playing well and not get dropped. At least Connolly can go back on the bench to be an unused sub in their next game and use that as an excuse for why his confidence is shot.

Maupay has scored 7.

The fact is that. If Connolly plays every game - his minutes per goal rate with just continue to deteriorate.

For example - Viktor Gyökeres has the best strike percentage at 67% because he has scored 1 goal in the 3 games he played. It's very misleading.

The reality is that Potter has once again give Connolly a chance and he has failed to take it. We have seen him miss a few of these sitters. 

His confidence must be completely shot at this stage.

Think we have to be patient with Connolly. He never gets a consistent run and maybe a spell in championship playing every week would be best for him. The slow build up play that Brighton are renowned for doesn’t suit his game. He gets about 5 touches a game and then snatches at chances when they do come. Definitely has to work on his finishing but has time. When you consider that 20m Brewster at Sheff Utd is the same age.... Connolly looks far more effective IMO.

Well that's clearly bollocks. Nobody could be expected to put any kind of form together being hailed on and off the team at the rate Connolly is. It's hopeless player management.

Inspired sub bringing on Wellbeck so far anyway...

Maupay created Brighton's 2 best chances; Connolly's open goal miss and then a shot from the edge of the box from Trossard. Connolly did very little in the 2nd half.

Kind of like Maupay's continues to deteriorate. 7 in last 45 for Maupay from open play. 5 in last 40 for Connolly from open play. And Maupay has played over twice as many minutes.

Connolly's miss was sh*te. It was harder to miss than it was to score. But as Welbeck's penalty miss just now shows, their problems in front of goal are symptomatic of a greater issue than just Connolly.
