The worst team I’ve seen in the Premiership this season Norwich almost beat Arsenal so we need to produce something tonight

[Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
Norwich beat Manchester City too, so we should have taken 3 points at a stroll at the Etihad, eh? That went well..........................................
Somehow, other crap teams seem to manage to occasionally pull off a result against a top 6 club, something which we have always struggled to do, especially away from home.

We have managed to lose away against the top 6 yes. However, we've on the whole emerged from most of those games with a decent amount of credit, and only in very few been terrible and pummelled.
OK credit doesn't get you up the table, but it does give me belief we will pick up good wins on the road this season
Re a win on Sunday. There's a fair argument we have a better chance of winning tonight than against Wolves who are bang in form.

We will play well only to find ourselves short in the finishing department again. Arsenal will fluke an opening goal via a solid deflection then cruise to a 3-0 win leaving us all miserable and downhearted.
The way we’ve played under GP it’s a matter of time until we get an away win against ‘the big 6’ (tho arguably Arsenal aren’t that anymore).
I just hope tonight that we play to our best, ie not like our flat performances vs Chelsea and Man Utd.
Play to our potential and we come away with a point minimum.
That all said I think Arsenal will be really up for it tonight, on Amazon, their first home match with a new boss. Could be tough.

As Albion are the go to club for teams looking to end horrendous runs of form or goal scoring I am not liking those Arsenal stats at all
Coupled with the fact they have already sacked their manager, surely means Whale Lice?!

Bloody hot here day and night at the moment, might go to bed at 10pm and get up for kick off if another stifling night.
Summer has come really early this year, so I hope it leaves early too, not a fan.

Great, thanks for throwing that into the equation too
There won’t be a toxic atmosphere either which there would have been if they hadn’t changed manager
It’s not looking good for us tonight is it?

"Brighton have 15 points after 14 matches, their lowest tally at this stage of a Premier League season."
That's a bit sobering afer the good way we have played. However, what about tonight ? A slumbering giant vs. The out of towners.... will they regain true ability or will we come good at the goalmouth end?
Who bloomin knows...? But as always I believe it will be us that are celebrating afterwards.
I take my hat off to those going up, it's a very late kick off... T V rules again

Just back from Thailand and jetlag meant I was awake at 330am UK time. Kick off is 315am Thai time and I expect to be home in Lewes at 845am Thai time. Add in my first proper beer (or 3)for 3 weeks from 4pm UK time.....
Hope the players know whether they are coming or going, at least.
Having shouted at screens in odd bars in Thailand for the last 2 games, I can't wait to be back.

That was right at the start of the season and Norwich have been garbage since then, including against us when they were the most garbage Prem team I've ever seen at the Amex.
We got a point at the Emirates only this year and possibly should have won if Andone had his wits about him. It's not something we always struggle to do.

Oh yeah....
I forgot about that one, sorry it's not in my calendar as I fly to Arizona that day.
Getting points at top 6 clubs has always been a struggle! We may play well, give them a good game (sometimes) - but as far as getting points is concerned, that is a struggle.
One point from 15 away games so far, isn't it?

They do it on each occasion, with a very solid, deep defence working in tandem with 2 or 3 midfielders who’s only role is a very disciplined protection of the defence. With no shame in doing that. Leaving the remaining players with pace to nick counter attacking goals, and wins.
A hybrid of a CH defence and a GP swashbuckling attack.
CP have been doing this against the top 6 since 2013.
You want to get a couple of them in then. They should keep you cooler
