No, the poster was right about last year - we would create loads of chances at 0-0 or 0-1, but as soon as we got the goal we would drop back and invite pressure almost immediately, and it rarely ended well for us. The dropping back seemed to be Bissouma, his midfield partner and the wing-backs...

We are better - because the results are better. Sure, we perhaps don't 'look' any better, I agree, and in attack we arguably haven't hit our stride as often as we would like - but what I think I'm trying to point out that some of these improvements are quite subtle - small changes in shape at...

It's not the fans fault. It's not the players fault, or the result of poor performances. It's the stadium. We need a Kop. We have a Kop, people will sing. We should do what we can to get one, i don't care about the symmetry of the stadium. There is a huge distance between the back row of the...

This post, made a few days ago in the 'Potter's flaw' thread, and others in the same thread, got me thinking. I thought I'd make a new thread on it because I find it interesting how previous narratives can be hard to shift. Last season this happened a lot, no doubt at all, we scored, sat back...

I'm going to this one, first opportunity of the season to get to a game :albion2: Well, either that or I cancel my membership, here's hoping :lolol:

It's something that needs to get better, yes. Is it a 'flaw' though? That speaks as if it's something permanent, that cannot be changed. I completely disagree. Indeed, i think this latest switch to try the false 9 is all about finding ways to improve this part of the have, to beat teams who sit...

Apparently not! You mean to say we've had two legendary centre halves nicknamed Fozzy?

In which case its criminal to leave Steve Foster off your list. Criminal! And possibly also Guy Butters. Or not.....

Because Man Utd > Leicester. Simplify things and the answer becomes obvious

Campaign for a referendum to rejoin the EU

Well, yes. We're hugely missing him. Surprised he didn't start yesterday. We need him back

First time I came face-to-face with Brighton players was when I was a guest of the sponsors for the infamous Darlington match at the Goldstone. With the fans outside trying to break the doors down, we were ushered from the sponsors lounge down various corridors to get out, squeezing past a...

Nope. Having been double-vaccinated and then caught covid itself, if I was to catch it again then there is really nothing we can do other than let it circulate. Masks are pointless unless accompanied by a lockdown. We can all wear them in a shop, and then we all go to the pub or restaurant and...

-------------Ederson Walker---Dias---Laporte---Cancelo ---------------Rodri ------De Bruyne---Bernardo Jesus---------Foden--------Grealish ...... Sterling, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Stones .. shit

First time I'd seen that side-on angle. Yeah, I'd agree, from behind looks violent but from side-on, not so much. Still daft a premier league footballer would do that though

It's certainly worthy of note that Potter was brought in to make our defensive team more attacking, and despite doing just that has also made us better defensively than Hughton's team. Some achievement that.

I know what you're saying, but he's a professional footballer at the highest level of the game, if he doesn't realise there is another player between him and the ball then something has gone badly wrong in his head. The force he kicked him with it feels like a red. But the rule book seems to...

That's the f*cker, and don't worry, i work with projects related to that deal all the time, I'm well aware of it. Despite the headline, there have been a lot of successes arising, notably the presidential moratoriums created to prevent deforestation and carbon rich peatlands that have persisted...

Prinve Charles is arguably the greatest philanthropist the world has ever seen. He has mobilised huge amounts of funding for environmental causes and other worthy projects, and his sons have continued in that vein. Yes, they use their position to do so, but they are using it the right way. Case...

Rant misplaced.... There were five four long episodes shown on the bbc and available on iplayer which covered all of them, and more, in detail
