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

[US Seagull]

Fergie hattrick incoming? On the way to our 4-5 victory?

 

[Seagull58]

People writing Dunk off can wind their necks in. Clearly, and still, our best defender.

 

[The Fits]

Massively exciting from the Albion with loads of attacking threat.
If we could sort out our defence we would be brilliant.
Incredible entertainment and potential.

We just need to sort out this high line malarkey. We play like we only have 10 men.

We've scored because our ex players gave us the ball. We've hardly been peak Barca going forward. We've also already failed to break down weaker teams than us. The least we could is try and defend properly.
It's going to be a tough few months.

 

[Zeberdi]

Not much he can do about Webster’s,,Bart and Wieffers screw ups

Or us failing to convert chances at the other end.

Almost no chance of him scoring 1, let alone 3


yes I know you were joking

Same as last week we haven’t created a chance this half. This attacking threat narrative is in correct.

They've scored mainly because we have given them the ball or penalty / free kicks.

 

[Mancgull]

The worry is that this is happening after only six matches. Now that teams have a chance to analyse our approach, it’s only going to happen more often unless we adapt.

Yes, exactly. Just as well we started well. This is where Fab will need to adapt.
The analysis in this league is so thorough teams will spot opportunities and develop plans to exploit.
We are missing JPVH and Veltman in this game though which hasn’t helped.

It took teams a long time to work out RDZ. Genuinely innovative tactics. High line isn't hard to work out. Quite clearly every team will now pick their paciest players and counter when we've inevitably given the ball away.

And Baleba handing teams pens week in week out.

 

[The Fits]

They've scored mainly because we have given them the ball or penalty / free kicks.

And the high line causes undue pressure, consistently. Pressure equals goals.

 

[Seagull58]

Not sure Fabian will last. 200 million spent and we look dreadful. We have a fantastic team being manged by a clown.

Very mangy

 

[Swegulls]

Phew, Son and Kulusevski next week then. Hope Pedro, Adingra and JPvH are fit then.

 

[Bodian]

And Baleba handing teams pens week in week out.

Both very very soft though.

The idea you start losing games because teams ‘find you out ‘ is a myth imo.

Every one has known how Citeh and Liverpool play for years - it doesn’t make it any easier to beat them.

 

[A1X]

Well at least that was better than his last free kick

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

People writing Dunk off can wind their necks in. Clearly, and still, our best defender.

JPVH is our best defender

 

[Seagull58]

Everton win!

 

[Bodian]

Everton win!

Every cloud etc.

 

[banjo]

At least we’re still 8th. Very sloppy today though.
