Come on.

I know a few heart surgeons.

They all do that :shrug:
Well is it too much to ask that the heart surgery is done before they go to the pub not while they are in it holding a pint in one hand, scalpel in the other and with an eye on the clock to see if they have time to remove the liver too while they’re at it.

Preparation
Focus
Game management

Without sounding childish your argument works equally in reverse .:shrug:

I don’t think it does. You are saying that if Fab did things differently we WOULD have won/drawn those matches you mentioned.

All I am saying is that if we changed what we did, then that changes what happened in the match. The opposition may change tactics or subs as well, so it becomes a completely different game.

So yes we might win, or draw or lose but those are the range of possible outcomes and we cannot know what would have happened. You cannot say if we do X then we’d get Y. It just doesn’t work like that.

I made the Chelsea game clear , we played almost on the halfway line , if we had played as we were prior , we would have got a draw at least . Even after the first goal FH didn`t drop the defence back 20-30 yards , what the heck did he think was going to happen ?

At times in their half, making Chelsea offsides (hanging around at the half way line) impossible?

He knows things like this just always seems to happen to Brighton. Unfortunately, being bottlejobs is in our DNA. Things don't come easy for Brighton and Hove Albion. We lost many players offs from relatively strong positions. We lost the championship title when only a point would do with 3 games remaining. To this day, I'm still amazed we made it to Europe and topped the group! Rome just brought me back home.
Onwards and upwards, we move on until the next time. Man I bloody love this team!

Training for the lads, to help them get used to holding onto a lead…

With all the contradictory opinions on here this evening, the words of a former head coach of the club spring to mind: “it is what it is!”
and nothing I do or say is going to change it. Do I know more about football than Mr H? Well, ….. no.

I'll say only one thing,.. at 1-0, controlling a game.... you shouldn't really take off two of your more efficient players on the day .. Pedro and Ayari.... we lost some control at that point, they took some encouragement from that....

I'm staying up late tonight to minimise the risk of me wetting the bed. I think I'll watch the greatest passes of Dale Stephens on YouTube to kill the time.

That is too much positivity for the match i saw today , in fact it`s tough to agree with most of what you say .
Lamptey was very good again and his goal was quality , but he has only just started to show some form after a LOT of injuries and not a small hint of "sick note" , just in time for a contract extension .

Minteh is raw and very good , very very good when he is on form , but I`m sorry but Weiffer is a total loss at this level - pulls out of tackles , passing is poor , too slow to read the game - yada yada yada .

Hurzeler started great but it seems he is easy to read , RE: Wolves 2-0 with 5mins ends 2-2 , today was a carbon copy . Imho he is far too bloody restrictive , if he trusts the lads then let them decide when pissing about is not a good idea and play a ball to the wings or straight down the middle -anywhere but where it was at Fulham for the first or nearly on two occasions today .


As for lessons learnt , where is the proof that he has learnt anything , personally i think he looks at St Pauli one place off relegation and looks at our position and believes that justifies his tactics , massive error imo .

Bastard maybe , but i for one am definitely not entitled , but i am no ones mug either , the team/squad we have should not have drawn at home to Ipswich,Forest,and Wolves , and we shouldn`t have lost to Fulham , Chelsea (remember those tactics) or even Liverpool .

As for Hurzeler changing , he is German with a "Process" which means long term - this German is not for turning !.

So hope I`m wrong , and quickly .
Wieffer had his best half for us by miles today. He was very good in nearly everything he did.

How the hell did you not notice that?

I don't think he could quite believe what happened. He must have felt gutted like us all.! I do wonder if he has the balls to lay into the players/give them a rollicking though. Can Imagine Roberto going ballistic after that and even on the touchline whereas Fab comes across as Mr Nice guy?

They are professional athletes, they need to sit down and work out what is going wrong, then work on improving it - shouting at them isn’t going to fix anything.

sadly in Scotland
I thought watching MOTD2 from last night on iPlayer this morning was going to be a depressing start to the week but actually felt (relatively) ok after watching it.

same , was horrible watching that happen live in the ground but overall , it was exciting. The away end was rocking

Focus now onto Palace. I'm ok with it
