[Football] Are You Brighton In Disguise?

[pasty]

Europa League tonight

Hoffenheim 9 out of 27 shots on target against Molde 2 out 3 shots on target

Result? Yup, 0-2

 

[Swansman]

Very impressive by Molde but yea, Hoffenheim... they really threw it in the first game though. Think the Germans were 3-0 up and just chillaxed and Molde scored three quick ones.

 

[Seagull58]

Strangely, I was just about to post the same stats. Hoffenhaim had 73% possession and 137 dangerous attacks to Molde's 27

Not just us then

I thought chillaxed was Swedish for ironing board in IKEA

Molde have been canny in the UEL so far. They only lost to Arsenal in the group stage.

Hoffenheim had 25 shots to their eight in the first leg - 12 on target - and were 3-1 up until the 70th minute (they went 2-0 ahead in the first half.) They were something like the fourth-highest shooters in the group stage and averaged three goals a game before tonight.

Moe probably watched the Red Star game in the group stage for a precedent. That was almost a proper Albion performance from Hoff: 16 shots to five, opponents had one on target, finished 0-0.

Think they'll have just about enough cash to buy a striker if they want to, with their chairman. Maybe they can re-sign Locadia. Cincinnati are their partner club...

 

[HastingsSeagull]

If Cincinnati are their partner club, they’ll know enough about Locadia’s form to steer well clear even on a free!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Well Pascal Gross did start his career at Hoffenheim . . .

 

[Hugo Rune]

If Cincinnati are their partner club, they’ll know enough about Locadia’s form to steer well clear even on a free!

Locadia made 11 Bundesliga appearances for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim scoring 4 goals and making 1 assist. We’d literally kill for a Striker to get figures like that!

Next season's European club pre-season friendly sorted then.

 

[Mortdecai]

Brighton vs Palace

Hoffenheim vs Molde

Next season's European club pre-season friendly sorted then.

About the dullest destination for a pre season friendly against a Bundesliga opponent you could find. A small town not even the size of Steyning halfway to the middle of nowhere. Even the stadium is well outside the town.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Strangely, and 137 dangerous attacks

No, seriously? That is far outside Brighton’s capabilities. 137? Nah...

It was 137 dangerous attacks on the stats I was watching. I'm not sure exactly how a dangerous attack is counted but, for comparison, in the 78th minute of the Man City v West Ham match, Citeh have had 121 attacks and 64 dangerous attacks.
