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

Every time someone passed him the ball you had to pray Caicedo was in a different hemisphere or he'd just go in and take the ball from Mats.

We didn't get 115m for Caicedo because a new PL player straight from the Eredivisie would get the better of him.

It's quite clear that we are naive in not buying a defender and not working on our glaringly obvious defensive fragilities. Webster is so irritating. I really like him, but think he is just so clumsy. It's no costing us, it nearly cost us a couple of times vs Wolves.

One positive is that I’ve put the serial bedwetters on ignore, so future match threads won’t be so damp.

I decided to read through our ‘friends up the road’ matchday thread and found plenty of consolation in their ‘heartbreak and criticisms’ of their players/manger/luck etc. made me feel tons better with the realisation that things could be so much worse especially when considering how we destroyed their conquerors with consummate ease only a few weeks ago, with a bit of luck they could easily finish this weekend in the bottom three! Revelling in their misery is a guilty pleasure we all should relish while we can, sadly we know how this ends !
Ps hate Chelski.

Just checked the stats. I was listening and know we were lucky to get away without a cricket score, but the stats read that it was close!

Shots​

Chelsea 15 Brighton & Hove Albion 15

Shots on target
Chelsea 7 Brighton & Hove Albion 5

Shots off target​

Chelsea 5 Brighton & Hove Albion 5

That's all well and good.
But the XG we gave up for those 15 shots was 3.19 against 1.08

That really isn't a close run thing.

Because we all could do with a laugh

And it would have been worse if not for the normal display of Big Bob's flapping and kicking
