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

[giveusfalmerplease]

can someone please explain why OUR goal wasnt offside? When Dunk hoofed the ball, both Nwepu and Trossard were in front of the last defender

I still can't believe how unmarked Trossard was before burying that shot in the goal. It's obvious who should take the next penalty.

yep, can't understand a word, fam!

Innit though Blud.

Is it truly bad when the player is offsides?

that was not a very well defended cover now , was it.

 

[hart's shirt]

Saints now 0-5 down at home.

Just the 4 more left then.

Southampton!

Poor first 25 minutes however once we scored we grew into the game as the belief was draining from Arsenal then they scored oh no they didn’t 1-0 HT looks good.

Our goal was interesting in that for all our tippy tapping football it takes a huge whack from Dunk and Mwepp taking a chance to run into space then looking up to find Trossard who took his goal brilliantly, just two passes I really think all our problems relate to the time we take in transition

Tippy tappy’s been partly abandoned.

Arsenal players drawn in with their press, then long pretty accurate balls played over the top.

The 'clear and obvious error' bit doesn't apply to offsides - which are either yes or no.

OK but not sure not sure notsure er yes

Diving Arsenal cheat. Ha! Justice.

Not Mwepu - he was onside, and he was the crucial one.

There's some Polytron access thing going on on my stream, with Ray Parlour as their Messiah.

Surreal.

The position of Trossard is irrelevant as he wasn't involved in play at that time. Mwepu was onside too, he times his run very very well to have loads of space when he actually picks up the ball.

Not active in that moment, per the offside rule that’s been in place for epochs.

Both then played behind Arsenal defenders.

Saka is a ****ing cheat.

Going to be tough to see this out.... Arsenal much more positive. A second would be lovely! Racking up the yellows, too!
