[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal *** Official Match Thread ***

[zefarelly]

Good start.

Quite

we need to step up quick or we'll get embarassed

 

[Zeberdi]

Brighton need to calm down and get possession to get a breather. Our style of football can do this if we don’t let Arsenal dictate the pace.

 

[Jackthelad]

It looks like men against boys, a very poor start

 

[Mancgull]

Very poor from Lamptey for the goal.

 

[Swansman]

Nice, its a bald ref. All best refs are bald.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Don't expect Wankathon Taylor to give us anything today either.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Lucky it’s only one nil

 

[Frutos]

We look all over the place so far.

Need to settle into the game quickly, because Arsenal look dangerous with every attack.

 

[Hendrax]

we've reverted to Charlton passing.

 

[US Seagull]

Seems like we settled a bit, but this possession is currently going nowhere

 

[Swansman]

Just keep this result until half-time. Most of the big teams have weakened in the second half since PL restarted... for whatever reason

 

[The Fits]

Up the RDZ to sort this out. Big call with Lamptey immediately backfiring. All over the shop. We are always going to struggle against them, and against teams that can attack our defence with such pace, but right now this is a non contest.

Misfiring and misfiring... he was one slightly different touch from getting entirely free against their goalie on a counter-attack. Very fine margins.

 

[WhingForPresident]

That's more like it Tariq.

 

[US Seagull]

Jesus christ, can we just take this damn corner?

 

[Swansman]

Saka just giving up chasing Mitoma. Says a bit about his pace.

 

[US Seagull]

Another let off there

 

[Swansman]

That Ödegaard pass was so dirty I would have almost applauded if that went in

 

[Jackthelad]

Get the ball to Mitoma more asap, they don't know what to do with him.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

This one's looking tricky...
