[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[GT49er]

Trossard giving the ball away so often, I would bring on Alzate for him early second half

Pat Nevin "palace being outplayed. Utterly outplayed." Wheel loose.

....and Pat Nevin is also mightily impressed with Trossard; perhaps he's not doing badly.

 

[Napier]

Trossard can't pass tonight (at least to an Albion player), Propper can't shoot, we are absolutely woeful in the final third - apart from that we look superb and in total control. You just know how this is going to end........

 

[Mancgull]

Given them a footballing lesson. Should be ahead and a definite penalty.

Guaranteed 1-0 Palace win.

Exactly what I'm thinking.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

This has Murray winner written all over it

Give him the whole second half.

 

[BN41Albion]

Very frustrating we haven't created more clear cut chances despite Palaces huge double decker bus. Final third has let us down a bit.

Having said that we have been a joy to watch, again

 

[oldboyroy]

Well to think palace are near European places we outclassed them but I don't think palace can play as badly in 2nd half surely?

 

[Triggaaar]

Pretty even game so far

 

[rogersix]

Didn't know we had many blondes, let alone albino's ?

not seen a nil nil hammering quite like that before.......

here's hoping!!!

 

[Frutos]

The commentator summed it up for me "Brighton have been better in every regard except the scoreline".

Positive signs, but we need to make it count.

 

[Farehamseagull]

What a half!! Fantastic performance, keep going like that and we will grind them down.

And a midfield exhibition from Propper. Any young player who wants to be a midfielder needs to watch a replay of that half. His appreciation of space and passing were sublime. His body shape when he recieves the ball is also the key, a masterclass in the position.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Totally bossed that half, Mooy is sublime.

 

[lawros left foot]

They’ve had more players booked than shots on target, shots off target and corners put together.

1-0 win to them then.

 

[Mayonaise]

How are Palace above is in the table?
They offer nothing

They somehow grind out results whilst playing shite - a bit like us last season I guess.

win or lose tonight - isn't it sooooo refreshing to watch Brighton pass CP off the park

 

[Seagull27]

Trossard is doing fine, good to see him on the ball so much. Yes it's not quite coming off for him at the moment, but he still looks dangerous, always has it in him.

I'm impressed by Montoya and Bissouma so far especially. Actually all of the midfield 3 are bossing it.

It's basically impossible for them to play that badly again.

 

[Stat Brother]

I must have said "nice", well to be precise "noice" about 30 times in that half.

I can't wait for:-

The Official (Propper - 6) Player Rating Thread to find out who was actually shitehouse.

 

[portslade seagull]

Well looked like a pen but how are we not winning

 

[Napier]

It's time for another Albion player to become immortal and join the pantheon of demigods by scoring against Palace.

Who's going to step up?

Stage set for Jahanbakhsh to earn his fee.

 

[Muzzy]

BBC Stats showing them having 31% possession. BULLSH1T... More like 20% at most

 

[Steve in Japan]

An almost perfect 1st half, except for the obvious. I think the stats flatter us a wee bit, we haven't really worked their keeper yet. Not properly anyway.

I still don't get VAR. A clear penalty, reviewed and not given. Mr Coady has that right.
