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

[Lawros Lip]

They should all stay.

Did he mention his own plans?

Sadly could be 2 or 3 departures in the summer from some of our regular players. At the end of the day if they wanna go they’ll leave. Their agents will be chirping away in their ears telling them they can get double or triple the amount of money elsewhere (plus a huge fee for the agent which is their only motivation). I just hope if they go they go to City or one of the big teams in Europe. Going to somewhere like Spurs would feel like a real kick in the teeth when in terms of quality of the teams there isn’t much in it at the moment. I suppose you can’t blame a player for wanting to double their wages who wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to do the same job for twice as much.

If we make Europe lets hope we can hang on to them - we'll need them in fact we'll need more in the squad as I believe WHU have found out this season/

On the train home. 'king hell, what a second half performance. Absolutely outstanding.

I watched a stream, which was a bit flaky.

Any idea why we got better as the game went on? Was it that RDZ worked them out and changed the tactics a bit?

 

[SweatyMexican]

If Man City beat Chelsea next week, they’ll be coming to us as Champions with nothing to play for…and potentially a champions league final to be thinking about.

 

[Lawros Lip]

Yup. I will be cheering on Citeh next week.

Massive balls.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Was this 6 years ago today?

 

[Eric the meek]

Massive balls.

Thank you. But what about my question?

Roberto de Zerbi speaking to Sky Sports:

"I'm pleased for the performance. It was a tough game and today was more difficult because on Monday we lost an incredible game."

"I'm really proud that my players showed our style and we showed character. Without this part of football, you can play well and score goals but without patience and mentality you won't reach your targets."

"We are working to become a big team. We are not a big team yet but if you want to compete with a big team like Arsenal and qualify for Europe, we have to progress our mentality."

"The players are the most important thing. I'm lucky to have players at this level. I'm working to give them my ideas and mentality but without good players you can't achieve these results."

"We will lose some players, maybe Caicedo or maybe Mac Allister. We need to bring in some other good players. For Mitoma and Estupinan, they need to stay with us I don't know if they are ready to play with big teams. You have to be ready in the head and we can offer them the chance to improve."

Confidence.

Listening to R5 606 on catch up.

A bitterly angry Arsenal fan targeted Chris Sutton, plus discussions on the near empty stadium whilst the game was still on “Disrespectful to Arteta”.

Plus great calls from intelligent Albion supporters, would you expect anything less.

 

[AlexBH]

Thanks to Trossard and White for the part they played in the first two goals. Albion through and through!

 

[Hamilton]

Absolutely brilliant.

So so so happy with that. All the Gooners on the train home are taking the ribbing well.

 

[portslade seagull]

In the 2nd half we gave Arsenal a footballing lesson, they couldn't get near us.
Hopefully the knocks picked up are only minor
Bring on the Toon

Not sure if I’m alone but I f**king hate Micah richards, the most arrogant knobhead pundit going, but he laughs so HAHA he must be funny.

Wtf was he talking about saying the first goal should've been ruled out! joker

 

[Bodian]

Looking back at all the experts' chatter before the game, and I have isolated the problem; The lads don't know what they can't do.

Indeed - hit the nail on the head there.

Cracking post - not sure where they got 8 from but helped us in the end eh

We did do quite a bit of delaying tactics - and there must have been a good three minutes for Enciso - including almost a whole minute for him walking off the wrong side of the pitch.

Mitoma back on the left, growing understanding on the right, Arsenal demoralisation.

The way that VAR decisions have gone against us this season I wouldn’t have been surprised if they’d have ruled it out!

P.s Micah Richards is full of nonsense, even Gary Neville who’s very hit and miss put him to task there.
