Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[midnight_rendezvous]

We've looked better in patches after conceding. Wayward passing still an issue. Hopefully we'll go out second half and show a good account of ourselves.

You could always pop out and do some shopping...you won’t be missed

This. Been a decent game and we're still in it. Have to remember this is a free hit. Anything from it was always going to be a bonus. It's Arsenal away FFS.

Not sure which game some people on here are watching.

 

[Bridcutt]

Arsenal dominating first 20-25 minutes.

Brighton was the better team 26-45 minute.

But yeah, Arsenal deserves that 1 goal lead.

Best in Brighton so far: Ryan, Izquierdo, March.

Izquierdo WHAT

 

[Pavilionaire]

oh dear. I'm fine thanks.

Good, because for 45 minutes there you sounded like a man who'd lost his grip on reality

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Yes, but to some, any pass over 5 or 10 yards is considered to be hoofball. Stupid really - getting the ball 40 yards upfield - even if it is with one pass - is a very good idea - it only becomes futile when there are none of your own players anywhere near enough to chase it.

Some people seem to think defenders don't get tired and don't need the ball to be cleared to take the pressure off them for 30 seconds or to reset and get back in their position if they've been caught out.

Opposition won't be scoring from 30-40 metres out.

Bong is so poor at this level. Simple passes straight out of play are ridiculous in the Championship but totally unacceptable in the Premier League. Strange decision to give him a pity start.

You forget Stephens pass that nearly cost us, Bruno not as effective as usually, and Duffy's loose pass. Remember others with their poor passing also!!!!

Personally think he’s playing better than Bruno...Suttners had a steady start to the season though

Agreed. Bong is going ok with one decent break. Pretty obvious that Hughton has selected a left sided pair with enough pace to make sure Bellerin can't take anything for granted, despite being one of the fastest players in England.

 

[sllugaes]

ok ...howlers en masse , how's that . Arsenal are a class team and we need to be at our best to have a hope of anything from this game .....

Spot on

wow, really, wake up. But yes I'm leaving this thread, too many deluded muppets on here today!

Oh dear

So it's not a big occasion for our players?

Just another game against 11 players whose club have won a couple of FA Cups in 10 years, and whose manager is under pressure.

 

[Technohead]

Well I haven't given up on us yet. In fairness I am only gettting NSC and Radio 5 updates so can't see how outplayed we have been

Can't you get talksport where you are?

 

[maltaseagull]

Don't get smarmy, we should be 4-0 down

4-1 actually !

Bored with your negativity so adding you to my ignore list!
Only 3 on there!

Giving the ball to a team like Arsenal anywhere on the pitch is a bad idea and professional footballers are not knackered after 30 mins.

We'll have to agree to differ but 11 men behind the ball and hoofed clearances is not the answer imo

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Why won't our midfielders pass to Brown? He's made some decent runs

Not unless your name is Steve Sidwell!

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Great support as ever. Some impressive little breaks. Outstanding saves from Ryan. We hit the post. And we're 1-0 down on 50 minutes at Arsenal. Anyone feeling depressed about this performance, so far, needs therapy.

But he also keeps giving the ball away.
