[Albion] We look such a poorly coached team

[Deportivo Seagull]

I started the thread and will happily take a bit of stick for doing so.

Doesn’t change what I saw at half time however and coming off the back of the Chelsea performance I still have concerns that we looked lost in possession and we were too easy to play in behind. A crazy 15 minutes doesn’t change that.

Second half was much better and I am not sure I can pinpoint what it was though Estupinan helped.

Might be the coach …?

Your thoughts were being echoed all over social media. I just didn't think we were that bad first half, Spurs were just very good.

They looked sharper, nothing to do with our 'high line' IMO. We had two decent chances and were competitive.

This isn't directed at you personally but you represent a good chunk of our support atm who are overly critical. We have a new manager and new players to bed in and this division looks very competitive this year.

Yeah absolutely and he deserves all the credit but it’s difficult to think of two halve more different and it’s hard to pin point how we managed it.

 

[Justice]

Well the players say they were crap first half, good to hear Milner dished out a rollicking

Is this a utd fan posting on the wrong board?

I’m not overly critical though, I’m usually the one who starts the ‘positives from today’ threads . That fast half though was worryingly poor especially coming off the back of Chelsea as Danny Welbecks comments confirms.

According to Danny, the difference was not about tactics, all about fight. Lots of chat from Steele and Milner at half time too.

Very strange cause only took Graham potter 10 games to turn us into world beaters!

One defeat in 14 sack them all!

Sorry to say but it’s alarming how poorly coached we look:

Defensively we are all over the place. Runners in behind over and over again.

The press is muddled and ineffective

Players don’t seem to know what they are doing when they get the ball, too many touches too few options.

The new manager has had a whole preseason with them and we look shambolic.

He has some serious work to do and quickly.

The only thing shambolic is this massive overaction of a post.

We were not outplayed in the first half and my main tactical criticism was Ferdi’s defensive performance.

It’s always worth keeping your thoughts to yourself until full time as decent coaches like Fabian will react tactically to how the game is panning out.

You could acknowledge that it was maybe a bad half of football and the team aren't "poorly coached" which is a direct reflection on the manager?

Didn't he win manager of the month in his first month.

I find it hard to imagine Milner “rollicking” anyone, TBH

No wonder they were shocked into action, he probably normally just tuts

I don’t mind holding my hands up but to say we weren’t outplayed in the first half is absolutely insane. Litterally every player, pundit, our manager and the vast majority of the fans know that we were.

You'll forgive me for not recalling your previous posts but the post today felt very knee jerky.

This new Brighton team is proving to be a bit hit and miss but we're creating lots of chances and scoring. There's much more to be positive about than negative IMO, it's also naive to think we wont improve.

I think if Milner told me to do things different and was stern, I would consider doing so.

"It's a results business" and today was a brilliant result.

 

[Whitechapel]

We were still appalling first half

Reminds me of that classic saying about football; it’s a game of one half.

in my defence I am very hungover!
