[Albion] AFC Ajax vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[KZNSeagull]

Good half. Well done chaps

 

[RandyWanger]

JPVH has a bit of shithouse about him. Get him in the gym with Igor and he'll be a monster of a player.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Alright this.

 

[US Seagull]

Half time. Get Dunk's nuts on ice.

Half time. Get Dunk's nuts on ice.

Do that and he’ll have lumps behind his ears

 

[Mancgull]

Adingra has looked very sharp.

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

We have less than 50% possession. First time I’ve seen that for a while!

 

[Krafty]

The confidence from Ansu Fati is great to see, it is clear that he is enjoying his time at Brighton!

Always with a smile on his face

 

[Mackenzie]

Solid first half. Very good

 

[Mike Small]

Dunk will play on but miss Sunday and then hopefully the internationals for a rest?!

JPVH is imperious at times. Just needs to cut out any rashness for the 90.

We've just been off for a few passes but good half.

Ajax don't have much going forward (a la Fulham) so lets keep it tight! They will tire too - they've been chasing and well up for this game.

 

[peterward]

Good half and kept them quiet. Another goal would finish them off I think.

If it stays like this, they'll have to throw caution to wind later, which may give us more chances.

 

[Steve in Japan]

A very strong first half, excellent. Looked very organised and on it.

 

[raymondo]

Lovely goal.

Hindsight’s a wonderful thing (re: fullbacks) isn’t it. Is this now our 5th choice left back?

Estupinan, Lamptey, Milner, March, and now Gross.
We can only hope that players start coming back like Estupinan appears to be, or that someone from the U21’s become’s too good to ignore.

Soon we'll make a 1st eleven of players who've played left back for us

 

[macbeth]

that’ll do. some great ideas in that half, passing has been a little over hit sometimes, but the movement is there which is the main thing. not going to comment on the defence as i don’t want to jinx anything.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Thought we did ok.They are much better than 2 weeks ago, but think we have too much for them. Odd not to 70% possession for once and playing on the break.
Dunk immense again. Hope he can continue

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Albion crowd sounding really quite vocal in the Cruyff library.
Mitoma pacing himself at the moment, Pedro trying to impress the Brazilian head coach, but we look like we have too much about us for ajax

 

[BN41Albion]

Sloppy in possession at times, but very good performance overall. Keep it up boys!

JPVH has a bit of shithouse about him. Get him in the gym with Igor and he'll be a monster of a player.

Tbf, he bullied Haaland so is fairly monstrous already

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Might see Igor second half. That would be a blow but can't risk Dunky making a groin injury worse and missing half a dozen games or more.

C'mon now...you know we need to be 3 up before you say that sort of thing
