[Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[The Wizard]

The game itself was very even I thought, we were very sloppy and lazy, but on pure goal scoring chances we should have won the game comfortably.

 

[Icy Gull]

Very disappointing result, should have had it won by HT

 

[Bridcutt]

Not happy with that. Should have made subs as Alexis was playing very poor. Welbeck should have buried it and we looked very very leggy

 

[LamieRobertson]

What? We scored 2 against Palace, and if Sanchez hadn't switched off and dropped the ball, Palace wouldn't have had a single shot on target, so you can't blame that on De Zerbi's tactics and not controlling the game.

Scored one?

 

[Bodian]

Great game of football I thought. Disappointed with the result obviously - but I enjoyed that. Have to give quite a bit of credit to the ref as well - he let play continue as much as he could.

 

[RandyWanger]

2 points dropped. Steel only made 1 save all game, their 2 other shots would have been easily saved with better positioning. Passing wasn't good enough and we lacked something up top.

All the above is true but it remains that we are 7th as of this evening. Dirty are 19th and very possibly a Championship Team next season...

 

[Triggaaar]

A point away from home is always a decent result in the Premier League.

Yes, although when chasing European qualification it's not necessarily enough.

Leeds defended well against us from the start.

No, they didn't.

 

[Triggaaar]

Scored one?

We scored two.

 

[Bridcutt]

Still in an alright position as Liverpool and Brentford lost but Chelsea are picking up wins now & Europe is starting to look a lot more difficult

 

[jimhigham]

Too many points going begging for us to really push on to the next level. We’re a good side but a great one would be grinding out wins where we keep finding draws. Not a complaint so much as an observation.

Let’s make sure we smash them and all will be right with the world.

 

[The Wizard]

When we take the lead away from home, which we have against Leicester, palace and here, you have to kill the game, we continue to go gunho even whilst we are in the lead, which works at home it seems but not so much away.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Infuriating. Not a good performance, but not too disappointed with a point considering how shaky we looked at the back. It's not the end of the world but definitely goes down as two dropped.

Webster had a nightmare and was clearly injured. Baffling decision to leave him on for so long.

Welbeck's miss was the game-defining moment. Veltman and Mac Allister well below par today.

 

[amexer]

Why was de Zerbi so upset

 

[Mackenzie]

Away point, entertaining game. We had better chances but it could have gone either way.

On to the next one, and hopefully four points in two games against bottom of the table teams.

 

[Sheebo]

Played well lads and lasses - yes should have won it but appreciate the great football. I feel better about not winning v Leeds than I do Fulham etc. At least they had a go - should have scored at 1-2 - oh and Leeds have never beat us in the Premier League if that helps…

 

[stss30]

Really frustrating, we weren't at our best at all but could easily have nicked a win which would have put us in a great position in terms of Europe - the Welbeck chance at 2-1 was huge and RDZ knew it

 

[Whitechapel]

We scored two.

Pretty impressive to score twice in a 1-1 draw

 

[Mustafa II]

Yes, although when chasing European qualification it's not necessarily enough.


No, they didn't.

Winning at home and drawing away is famously enough to win the league.

If you can't see how Leeds had a defensive game plan against us today, and how it worked, then it's probably a shame that there will be no analyses on MOTD tonight...

As we get better and our reputation grows, expect to see similar performances like this against us... just like all the other top teams experience, who also drop points in this kind of fixture.

It's not that we played badly, at all, it's just they were set out to stop us - and it largely worked. We would have won if it weren't for two goals that, to be honest, we should have defended against better.

All the whinging abt how many chances missed, but this happens nearly every game to be fair. A lot of our games seem to follow the same pattern. It is what it is, move on to the scumbags on weds, hopefully put em to the sword.
