[Albion] AEK Athens FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Washie]

AEK are worse than Ajax. We're making the look like world beaters

 

[Si Gull]

Our front line looks great on paper but doing nothing so far. Fragile at the back, too. Getting away with it atm but unlikely to stay that way unless we step up.

 

[Zeberdi]

Not sure why we keep going so much up the middle with vertical passes rather than play wide or use overlaps - we seem to be having trouble keeping our shape once it gets to the transition and our attacks fizzle out by the time it gets to AM with these forced passes.

In defence we just look a little gormless.

At this minute I am just hoping we can keep it to nil nil until half time and kick on from then.

 

[zefarelly]

We’ll do well to hang on until half time

Hopefully Bobs ‘Asciugacapelli parlare ’ will get our bouffants up for the second half

 

[Bridcutt]

We have a big midfield problem. Unable to link with our forwards and move the ball up

 

[US Seagull]

Don't think we've even really bothered their defense have we? At least not outside that early corner.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Please don’t concede before half time please don’t concede before half time

We did when we used the wings. We have stopped for some reason

Painful watch at the moment

Was thinking the same.

Or the best ball down the middle has Gross running onto it 35 yards out

 

[Springal]

No idea what Pedro is up to either, trying to hard

 

[dwayne]

Just like at Brighton they want it more

 

[oldboyroy]

Come on Fergie, need to be better than that

 

[kojak]

It's not AEK, it's IKE, apparently.

must be some derby when they do actually play AEK

 

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

Our midfield is too weak.

 

[North of Robertsbridge]

The shirts look just as short and boxy as they do in real life

Dunk looks like he borrowed his shirt from someone a bit fatter and shorter

 

[GoingUp]

Making AEK look more like Dortmund ffs
