[rogersix]

As I said, I don't force you to read them. If you're really that sensitive and they bother you, block them.

i'm interesred as to why you bother to post a constant stream of negativity?

is it a constant cry for attention?

who do you think would want to read your repetative posts?

What are you serious. Errors on ground all game

Doesn’t mean he wasn’t our best player, defensively strong, a few misplaced passes but I thought the whole team were off the pace today and the teams passing was shockingly bad with a few exceptions

Not the end of the world.

Over the course of a season we'll play better at times and still lose

 

[nwgull]

We really need cover at CB as we will have bans coming up soon.

What’s the count?? We have 5 fit senior centre backs not including Hayden Roberts, so that’s one position we should be ok in!

 

[nwgull]

Brighton are in the top four of the PL after 8 games.
Smile.

Yes, I couldn’t help feeling a bit Arsenal when I thought to myself that, home or away, ‘we should be beating TeamsLikeNorwich!’

Are you kidding on Burn? He played as a centre back today and his covering and tackling were superb, what more do you want from a CB? To then add to that his ball carrying, control and passing, at a level I think only Ben White has performed better at out of all Brighton CBs, I can only conclude you have something against him

Just because someone makes a comment does not mean has something against. When Burn plays in a back 3 he spends most of time out wide. IT is out wide he is very poor and certainly hope he doesnt play against Salah

I was wrong and corrected in post #428.

Watch Pukki’s chance which he chipped wide in the second half. Burn was so slow when he had possession that Pukki nipped in and stole the ball off him right outside our area. He had the ball in his possession and you can’t lose the ball there. Burn then doesn’t get back into position and it should be 1-0. He also completely misjudged a header from one of their counter attacks and they could have been in. Jumped three seconds too early. As for the tackle on Pukki, he got back but Pukki only had to shield the ball feel contact and it’s a penalty and a red no matter how well he may have done to get back.

I have nothing against Burn you plonker. Great squad player, great pro and great bloke. Just thought he looked ponderous in those moments. On reflection, he’s not as bad as I said and not as superb as you said. Would like Veltman to play centre back next week instead of him V City.

"would of" three times in one post. What has the world come to?

English was 1 of my worst subjects at school so forgive my grammar

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

Disagree, he made some good last ditch challenges but also some very sloppy errors, seems to dwell on the ball at times. Would definitely play him in the starting XI at present but would expect him to be out of the team once Webster is fit.

Exactly, you disagree and would drop him as soon as Webster is fit, yet others here say he was MoTM... Marmite...!

Would have, would've, could have, could've

 

[southstandandy]

Yes, it was a really poor performance but in the cold light of day its an away point and clean sheet when not playing well. Disappointed but not that unhappy. In the past matches like this would have been easily lost.

 

[Mr Banana]

Norwich had such a chronic lack of confidence that I found it difficult not to feel an affinity for them. Had no problem with making what would normally be the fate-baiting move of openly muttering that they had no cutting edge. They have no chance of staying up

 

[BluesRockDJ]

At least we weren't the suckers to give them their first win !!

 

[tronnogull]

i think that Norwich played like the away team, deep defending and tried to catch us on the counter attack , which almost worked three times. Thankfully their attack is shite. Next 2 games very interesting We beat both Man C and Liverpool in the respective fixtures last year and neither was a fluke. Dont assume we will automatically lose both matches.

Agree with this. We were poor today but very few people on here giving Norwich any credit for being hard to break down and then pacy on the counterattack. This is a bit like what we often hear from the entitled arsenal folks..

Completely agree, lucky not to have cost us at least two goals today. At this level making last ditch challenges count for little if you gift 2-3 opportunities per game to the other side. Don't see how people can't see that.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

They were absolutely terrible in the first half except the ginger kiddie who missed the sitter, as bad as I have seen in the premier League but we couldn't capitalise.
2nd half we did our best to gift them a goal but luckily they were as bad as us in front of goal.

 

[Mackenzie]

We weren’t particularly threatening today, although Trossard nearly hooked one in and we really should have had a penalty. Norwich need the points so you can understand them putting all their players behind the ball and playing on the break, Roy Hodgson made a career out of it.

I thought a draw was probably a fair result overall, both teams had a couple of chances but neither really deserved all three points.

On the plus side it’s another point towards safety, which as ever is our primary concern.

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

Same as ever, we can't beat the teams below us!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Very poor miss by Maupay at the end.

Hope he’s not going to follow the previous seasons of starting well and then fading.
