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

[Bodian]

Not sure what anyone was expecting tbh? All our injuries, games in Europe, the squad is spent. People need to have a rethink of their expectations, our squad isn't big or strong enough to compete Thurs, Sun, Thurs.... A lot of clubs go down in situations like ours...

I think most of us were expecting exactly what we're seeing.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Ouch!

 

[SeagullDubai]

Got to feel for Ferguson. He gets very little service or decent crosses

He is still mega work in progress. He doesn’t have quick feet or pace and needs space to work his magic. He will
Need to be a more cunning version of Glenn Murray,

 

[Hugo Rune]

Knob of steel.

Won’t be any steel in that knob for a week or two now!

 

[BevBHA]

Dunk off the line from another set piece

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

No

To be fair, he’s been brilliant for us this season - he must be knackered running himself into the ground every game recently.

 

[Hendrax]

absolutely immense few minutes from Dunk. f*** you southgate

 

[oldboyroy]

Dunk again, brilliant clearance off line

 

[BevBHA]

Buonanotte is really starting to boil my piss the last few weeks going down too easily

In general I agree, but to make such obvious blunders as starting Milner up against Saka and being too stubborn to make changes at half time (not to mention 20-0 on shots), it’s still worthy of constructive criticism. The staff, including RDZ, will be critical too, albeit behind closed doors.

Dunk is a spectacular player. What a privilege to see his development.

He’s just played one of the best passes I’ve ever seen

 

[MTSeagulls]

What was the point in Mitoma going down there?

 

[Hendrax]

oh f*** off Mitoma. bloody play the ball in.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Need to do a Palace here and somehow get an undeserved equaliser

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

I love it that we’re complaining about narrowly losing away to one of the best teams in Europe. Oh how far we’ve come…

 

[fruitnveg]

Great save

 

[BNthree]

What a save

 

[pocketseagull]

This match has all the wrong kind of excitement
