Taking charge now.

 

[Raphael Meade]

Looking decent so far, hope we can capitalize on something!

 

[MisterEvely]

Right there for Connolly, he'll think about that one when he goes to bed tonight!

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Connolly is causing them problems - looking a lot better than he did against Liverpool

 

[crodonilson]

So close

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

The Arsenal wall crept a yard or two forwards of the white shaving foam line. Not spotted by the ref. Massively reducing Gross’s chance of getting it over.

Probably the worst place to get a free kick.
Better off playing it back a bit splitting the wall and belting it.
We are doing ok here, that was a great chance.

 

[brakespear]

thought that was going in

 

[Mike Small]

Connelly should have gone with his left foot their and it would have been a goal. Very one footed. Needs to practice with his left!

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Arsenal should have scored there

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Surprised that there hasn't been a goal yet - a lot of chances and neither side have looked stable at the back.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Torreira has got more appeal than Oxfam.
He kick the ground.

 

[GT49er]

What is gross doing nearly given away three penalties already. I would have wanted all three if I was an arsenal player

After 15 minutes it's clear to see that Arsenal are more up for it than they have been recently.
We are good in possession but if we can sneak a goal maybe Arsenal will drop their heads.

Brighton have been lively - Arsenal have been a little more threatening.

Comments from the ground? Or watching Amazon? Radio commentaries (both MyAlbionTV and BBC 5) giving a rather different impression. We're doing pretty well on the radio (and on the match stats)!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Clive Tylsdsley is a ****.

 

[brakespear]

maybe tyldesley can go and tell the ref at half time about all the shirt pulling

 

[symyjym]

Arsenal look really lethargic

 

[Questions]

Nothings going appen ere is it ?

I so hope I’m wrong though.

 

[Mackenzie]

I got the impression that he thought Duffy was starting

Yes he was.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Surprised that there hasn't been a goal yet - a lot of chances and neither side have looked stable at the back.

It's very open, hopefully that suits us.
Arsenal now seem to be slipping back to their recent ways.
We have to go for this and take advantage.
My biggest gripe is that we don't go for the jugular and take our chances.

 

[Weststander]

So far we’ve quietened the Rupert’s, Tarquin’s and Hugo’s in the crowd.

I'm watching online - Brighton the better team for the last 10 mins - Arsenal have been a bit of a shambles - they need to score because Arsenal will get a phase where they will dominate and they have a couple of players who can score.
