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

That was largely induced by Potter putting Webster on for Trossard, pushing Lamptey over to the left, and completely unsettling the team. No complaints though up till then we were excellent.

Agree there was a bit of panic at the end but who cares. We did sit back far too much last 10 but guess that’s due to low confidence. Some great performances- Mwepu and Caicedo brillant

Did.Not.C.That.Coming.

Arsenal could scored 3 in final minutes, Dunk and Sánchez heroes. Weird feeling this evening, I’ve forgotten how to celebrate and I’m not convinced the result is beyond VAR overturning or something yet. Did we just win a game of football and score 2 goals? Anyone else having same dream etc?

We played them off the park where it mattered.

The deflected Odegaard screamer gave a false sense of a backs to the walls game.

Nobody does meltdowns quite like the Gooners.

You don’t come on here after we have lost?

 

[Swansman]

It was always going to look like that for the final minutes when you're leading away against Arsenal after x number of bad results. Did well to ride it out.

I'd actually forgotten what a weekend feels like looking at a big fat W.

It's nice. I like it.

If that one in a million lucky goal doesnt go in then we just see out a calm dominant game.

They’re a decent side Arsenal at home and they threw caution to the wind. I’m not sure it was a case we chose to sit back.

That last ten minutes was a bit dicey (for me at least), but that was a lovely match.

To be fair to Arse, it came after that incredible sequence when the ball hit the crossbar twice: we were definitely on the ropes.

Mwepu post-match...

"I'm glad we won today; we needed the three points, coming from six defeats is not easy. We really believe in ourselves, we have the right mentality in the group and we showed what we could do today."

"The gameplan was to win. The mentality and the confidence the coach has shown in us [is huge]. We believe in ourselves. We just want to play and win for the fans. The win gives us confidence and more hope for the next games. We have Tottenham next and we will believe we can win."

nice one, did he say anything about his injury?

Yeah you are right- you have to give them some credit for the effort

Sit back or forced back ….doesnt matter we WON

To be fair, they hit the cross bar twice in a couple of seconds a minute before, so I think they deserved a consolation goal
