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

[maresfield seagull]

Aluko, Townsend, Poyet……where is the balance?

Post match considering his departure from the club
I think Gus has been quite impartial

Jacob Steinberg’s sum up in The Guardian:

‘ This time it was not even about Chelsea’s wastefulness. They barely created anything after taking the lead through Romelu Lukaku’s header in the first half and could have no complaints after this costly draw with Brighton, who thoroughly outplayed the European champions before Danny Welbeck came off the bench to earn them a deserved point in stoppage time.’

The couple of chances they did get I thought were just lucky rebounds or deflections off players that fell kindly to them.

They can bring Alonso and Kante on as a subs and complain about players bing tired. Twats. James only went off because Lamptey made everyone in the ground realise they kept the wrong player!!!

Absolutely marvellous scenes!

 

[Bodian]

Chelsea have had an average 3.26 shots on target per game against them this season. BBC says we had six tonight.

Love the scarf waver on the top tier. Absolute scenes.

Loving Mac Allister running on the pitch from the dugout to celebrate with the players on the pitch

Tuchel had been complaining about the fixtures for several days. In doing so, he was getting his excuses in early. He expected to fail, lowered expectations, and gave his team the perfect excuse for failure.

Lo and behold, that is what happened.

 

[jabba]

Probably will escape a fine for that blue flare as it could have been a home one. Brought home what a good turnout we had.

 

[Originunknown]

Chelsea "fans" crying and trying to start fights after the game, so salty.

 

[raymondo]

I think playing certain opponents who reckon they'll have us with reasonable ease can help, but such games and outcomes are things of wonder to watch. Our players dripped with sweat, but the effort was in stylishly playing as an attacking one as much as to close Chelsea down. Bissouma was like 2 Kantes, and that backline could not concede only one against hundreds of millions pounds worth of attackers. We outplayed those gold-plated bigheads and i loved it and who we were.

I just love this post

Must be so hard having to bring on German internationals

Just watching this on repeat. My favourite bit is Potter's reaction, completely lost himself - you don't see that often. Absolute scenes.

 

[Mike Small]

Efan Ekokou here on USA commentary said that’s the best away BHA performance he has seen. Very complimentary of us.

Him, Rob Green and Ononah (excuse spelling) are pretty good and should replace Shearer, Richards, Townsend, Carney, Aluko at all times.

Quite right, and Mr Potter’s attitude would be much more pragmatic: we’ve got injuries but we’ll just have to work out what we can do with the players available”! Just the “get on with it” attitude that Tuchel lacks.

 

[The Fits]

Oh for a fit Welbs for the rest of season. He really is a quality player.

 

[Mike Small]

Poyet looks really awkward standing next to Potter.

Tony would have told Potter what a prat Gus had become by the end. All part of learning as a club. Gus knows this too deep inside.

 

[albionalex]

Credit to the players, credit to Potter - what a well deserved point.

 

[PTC Gull]

Robbie Mustoe on NBCSN just called out Tuchel complaining, pointing out all the subs were first team players.
