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

[MTSeagulls]

If we can keep frustrating them until we go in, a teak at half time, straight swap Igor for Milner - or some positional changes - maybe bring on Pedro - hopefully Gunners will run out of a bit of steam and we can get some forward movement into the final third.

Mitoma now on 5 yellow cards this season.

He was lucky not to get booked for the imaginary card wave when White was booked.

Arteta is suck a prick. Poor man's Pep.

 

[BevBHA]

Arsenal given a corner for the most obvious goal kick ever

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Mitoma missing Palace because of 5 bookings?

 

[Springal]

DZB still hasn't implemented a tactic when we are the team getting pressed.

Agreed it’s a massive weakness especially how obvious and easily repeatably exploited it is a bit like the West Ham game

Generous

 

[El Turi]

Mitoma missing Palace because of 5 bookings?

He has 4 bookings in the Premier League.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Unfuckingbelievable.

Arteta and Arsenal fans pressure the ref into giving an incorrect corner.

 

[Si Gull]

Mitoma missing Palace because of 5 bookings?

How the f*** has he got 5 bookings? I've barely seen him make a strong tackle.

OK, I see it's only 4. And it wasn't meant as a criticism. Considering how often he's targeted I think he controls himself pretty well!

 

[Washie]

Mitoma missing Palace because of 5 bookings?

I'd appeal that. Considering it was his 4th

 

[fruitnveg]

Raya is dodgy. If we can get at him, there are goals in this for us. Big if, based on the first half though.

 

[BevBHA]

Half time. Thank god

 

[US Seagull]

Smash and grab written all over it

 

[Goberpiles]

Very close half

DZB still hasn't implemented a tactic when we are the team getting pressed.

Our midfield isn't capable of playing through the press at this level - its not really RdZ's fault we sold Caicedo and MacAlister over the summer and didn't replace them...

 

[Bodian]

For a team that lets in such shite soft goals on a weekly basis, we've defended pretty well. JPVH has been immense.

 

[KZNSeagull]

15 shots to 0. These are the sort of stats that, if we were at home, would guarantee an away win. Here's hoping

 

[GrossTurn]

That’s gonna be doing the rounds later surely - the size of Hinshelwood’s shin pads! Looked about the size of playing card.

 

[The Fits]

Intense.

 

[BevBHA]

Kudus has scored another 2 for Wet Spam today. Have to feel we missed out there
