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

[Heffle Gull]

Whatever happens in the rest of the season. This will be the season we did the double over Ajax.

Great result - envious of my son at the game, what a time to be a Brighton supporter!

....

A few minor negatives
Ferguson has been struggling up on his own recently, perhaps needs a rethink how to use him? Joao Pedro doesn't have the same problem.
..

At no point during his cameo was he the lone striker, if anything he was playing right midfield when Adingra came off. Pedro and Mitoma were both well ahead of him. Im really hoping Fergie doesnt become another "confidence player" ie quickly goes off the boil when hes not scoring or getting chances. Plenty of time to prove us he isnt though..

Maty Ryan concedes in the first 2 minutes agaonst villa. Didn't even know he played for this team.

Nvm VAR rules it out.

AEK Marseille TNT 4.

Who gives a flying about Villa or Matty Ryan!

Hoi hoi?

I’m posh and added a continental twist

Fantastic battling win!

On a side note, I notice the poster saying we were terrible etc Sat like ‘Bridcutt’ etc have been missing on this thread - genuinely think some posters only come out to moan!

I'm delighted right now but we were terrible saturday? Our performances this season show that we're massively missing Moises and Alexis and this constant rotation and the injury problems are hurting us badly

I don't care if you have a problem with me commenting that I thought we were bad Saturday

Did seem odd that Igor took the armband when Gross and Veltman were out there.. But no arguments with the result.

To be fair Groß was doing most of the organising etc that you’d expect a captain to do.

I reckon they had a bet at half time that the armband wouldn’t go around Igor’s bicep but once it was on it was either stuck and wouldn’t budge, or no one fancied telling him to take it off.

I think EF will be fine. Perhaps carrying an injury just now, not disclosed?

He has that rare gift of instinctively scoring.

 

[Safe.]

Well that was bloody easy, when are we playing the good teams?

 

[Baldseagull]

Hoi hoi?

Dutch version

 

[Snowflake]

Very jealous of those that got a ticket. Although now celebrating with (copius) rum punches

Nah not at all just think you only seem to appear when you have something to moan about chap - yet quiet when we win. We weren’t terrible Sat that’s surely the wrong word - as I said, if we were terrible what were Everton?!

I agree with what you say about performances don’t get me wrong

This.

Big AEK MARSEILLE banner behind the goal. Just remembered these two have a fan friendship thing going on.

He’ll be fine. He just young, young players can be a bit inconsistent and I think he’s just in a bit of a down period, he’ll be back up again.

Everton were even worse and I genuinely feel sorry for them having to watch performances like that with Dyche as their manager. When we win or are playing well I just don't think to come here to celebrate it or talk about it, that's not really how I react. If I'm watching us play on TV or a stream then generally have my phone with me and if we're not playing great or I feel like ranting/moaning then I just happen to come here as it's full of like minded fans.

When we win or when I'm happy with how we're playing etc then I generally don't think to come on NSC haha
