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

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Can't be too disappointed but we were well and truly steamrollered second half. Could've done with Kayal in the middle as Stephens and Propper couldn't cope (I'm sure he or Sidwell would've played if fit).

Izquierdo's performance was quite concerning... I know it was Arsenal but he played a part in both their goals and didn't offer much other than pace.

Izquierdo needs time to bed in, he can only get better. We improved when Knockers came on. As CH says, it’s a learning curve. We’ll be ok, The January transfer window will give us a boost.

Easy drop the ball slightly short for Brown to draw the marking defender away from hus line and comfort zone. That was a basic question on my cozching course in 1970. The actual question was if your CF is being out jumped by the CHalf what do to overcome it. What I have said got me full marks for that question.

Incredible.

Robbie Savage says we will stay up!!!!!

"just" so he wasn't convinced.

I would say a good loan striker in January, and there is a very good chance of staying up.

I thought he had a very good first half.

You’re right, he did, but I’m probably at fault for expecting him to produce the same magic as AK, straight away. He will, definitely, make an impact.

I could be a know nothing useless p..staker.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

It's good that you have owned up to that

 

[Mike Small]

Reasonable account of ourselves so pleased with that. Confused why Suttner and Knockhart didn't start. They are both better than Bong or Izquierdo right now. Plus Bong and Izquierdo both hand a negative hand in their goals. Izquierdo foul for the first then Bong turned his back on the ball instead of facing it down and the ball went back across the box instead of towards where the shot was taken from. Then for the secondgoal he Could have read that back heel although it was class so hard to critize there and Izquierdo didn't follow the runner at all and he scores. But then I doubt that's Izquierdo s game so not sure why he started and Knockhart is better at tracking back. Really disappointed they didn't start. And before the Bong lovers cry foul over his contributions in the two goals I give you that ball he kicked right out under no pressure. Still I'm glad we're in these games and not getting spanked so thank you CH for that.

Probably what will become a routine loss to a top six team. We played okay.

You need therapy. What an absolute stupid comparison

 

[BBassic]

Happy with today. We weren't embarrassed and played well enough. Few too many sloppy passes but hey-ho.

I answered the question of how do we play 4-4-2 without a target man/striker. Whether or not that is the answer to our problems today is an entirely different question.

 

[GreersElbow]

We had some decent passages of play, just not got the overall wuality to make that a properly competitive match. We didn’t embarrass ourselves, that’s the most important part.

 

[LamieRobertson]

But confident enough to say ‘just’ ...i along with thousands of others will take that

 

[Thunder Bolt]

At least we didn't embarrass ourselves and let in FOUR!

GD can be worth a point at the end of the season.

Everton have been beaten by Burnley so we remain at 14th, going into the international break.

 

[BensGrandad]

The next game at The Amex will be important and vital for both us and Ronald Koeman.

 

[Southern Scouse]

A damn lot better than our opening game against them at the Goldstone when we lost 0-4, we are getting better!

 

[Beach Hut]

We did OK but to be clear there is a gulf of difference but at least (so far) we are not being tonked by about 4 plus goals
