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

[dolphins]

Surprised no Sanchez. Bench demonstrates how we're struggling with fit first team players.

weak bench

 

[Affy]

As strong a line up as we could have played but very limited options on the bench. Good performance and I’ll gladly take a point right now.

 

[Bold Seagull]

We couldn’t line up any stronger I don’t think.

 

[BLOCK F]

With all the injuries, we are thin on the bench, aren’t we!

 

[Questions]

A lot of youth on our bench.

 

[KZNSeagull]

How exciting!! We will win 2-1

 

[HangletonGull]

Loving the bench shows our academy is working

 

[Bodian]

Is Sanchez off, or has he got stroppy at not being picked, or something? Or injured?

 

[Bold Seagull]

weak bench

Still got Welbeck, Undav, Buonanotte, Van Hecke with plenty of 1st XI mins between them.

I noticed after the Man U game when they showed the team celebrating in the changing room after the game, that all the subs were there clapping except Sanchez.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's got the knock.

a top performance today from Steele would be useful in many ways then

Great to see the second-bests on the bench where they belong for now. Strong starting line-up

No Sanchez in squad unless I’m blind

He’s off, I fear.
id have him over Steele

 

[Stat Brother]

Well that team selection screams of 'get me out of this provisional pub team, NOW'.

Dunno now why I bothered to come to this grim northern outpost.

It's a key moment, and a tad worrying IMO

Our academy is certainly working, but I think the bench shows that we have a lot of injuries more than anything!

 

[Seagull58]

The Sanchez situation is very worrying. I would defo pick him over Steele. It seems crazy to sell him.
