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

[zefarelly]

Sadly the gamble playing Lamptey hasn’t worked but I wouldn’t fault RDZ trying an attacking option

I agree, but that would only ever work if we were to attack

Veltman with SOlly (and Gross) on the right has been proven to work

 

[Normandy seagull]

Piss poor defending again. First game this season we’ve been done over big time. Sanchez has been crap all game. At corners never looks confident and they smell it.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Starting to think we’ll lose this.

 

[BLOCK F]

Wasn’t expecting anything from the game, but, this is disheartening stuff to watch.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Pathetic

Not really under strength team v league leaders I would say disappointing but not pathetic

 

[Driver8]

Game over so may as well rest players for Tuesday now.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Missing Moses and Argie Mac loads

 

[nwgull]

Would take a point at this stage.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Well TB gets to see what happens if we sell AM and MC

 

[Reddleman]

Get Trossard off for no other reason than to send a message this level of effort isn’t good enough. Get Ferguson on.

 

[1066familyman]

Dixon on commentary is absolutely clueless...'It's the pass from Partey that makes it. Superb!'.

Is it f***! Any of us on here could make that simple side foot pass into acres of space. It's a simple goalkeeper error, nothing more nothing less.

 

[US Seagull]

Arsenal making us look like Southampton

 

[Normandy seagull]

Make 5 subs rest a few now just try not lose by 4-5

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Best we can hope for now is a competitive 40 mins!

 

[Springal]

Might as well rotate the bench in, nothing to loose and it would be good to see what they can do - get Gilmour and Lamptey off anyway.

What does it do to a bunch of teenagers who’ve barely played to get hammered even more ?

 

[BBassic]

Happy new year!

 

[Motogull]

I know it is New Year's Eve, but it is far to early to get your trousers taken down.

 

[Kosh]

Oh well, this can happen - we’re not world beaters and this lineup lacks the class and the legs we have (missing tonight) centrally... missing one of our top players maybe we can compete, two, three and four first teamers out and against a top, top team... well, sadly we’re always capable of a being on the receiving end of a chastising lesson.

Let’s hope we and Roberto can learn from it.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Well TB gets to see what happens if we sell AM and MC

And not buy a striker we really need

 

[AmexRuislip]

If we do end up losing this game, deal with it as a lesson learnt against a very good side.
