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

[Insel affe]

I can't agree with that. He's turned the Arsenal players several times and they are worried as they know he can go past them.
Frustrating yes, but not shite.

Fair point, I was just frustrated with his wayward pass in defence that nearly cost us towards the end of the half.

Am I bring really dumb. From the replay I just saw, Saka looked offside.

 

[papachris]

Really under pressure for the first 10 minutes but grew into the game after Ayari came on. Really bad mistake from Dunky for their goal. Pedro by far and away our best player in the first half. Only 1 down, still on the match

 

[GoingUp]

Slightly worried Hinshlewood is going to keep getting torn to pieces, especially as he tires longer the game goes on.

 

[Zeberdi]

I’ll be happy with a point from this.

We created a few chances in the first half - if we can convert it doesn’t matter if it’s against the run of play - I’m not looking for pretty here.

Loving the mischievous Veltman today winding up Tross

 

[boik]

Well, 1-0 is probably more than we deserve, so I'm happy as long as we improve. Don't really mind about this match. Want to get our best players fit for the future.

Would expect Perverto to come on at some point regardless of how things go.

 

[El Turi]

Hopefully Estupinan is fit enough to play at least 30 minutes.

 

[Shaktarman]

Hinshelwood bounced back strongly and I love seeing him make those round the corner passes when he joins the midfield to be in front of Dunk.
He's the best crosser of a ball we have.

His passing has been crisp and direct.

 

[zefarelly]

I'd bring on ensico for this, game would suit him perfectly. We're not winning much in the air. That dunk error reminded me of the younger version of dunk, when he would have those blips. Partey and rice one yellows, need ball carriers to run at them. Maybe rutter at some point?

Dunk has always had those blips

Minteh off for adingra and enciso on for welbeck.

 

[severnside gull]

That should be a corner. Ref's a homer

 

[Shaktarman]

Dunks mistake wasn’t massive like some are making out. He wasn’t expecting the bump and it caused him to miss the header. Wasn’t a bad mistake for me.

 

[portslade seagull]

Apart from Dunks obvious error we haven't looked too bad. Passing needs to be a little better upfront

 

[GoingUp]

Would expect Perverto to come on at some point regardless of how things go.

Hopefully Estupinan is fit enough to play at least 30 minutes.

I hope so too, hopefully it's not too late in the game either where he doesn't have time to warm into the game.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Mitoma hasn't got his silken zip since injury. Still quality though.
Pedro is class. Hope he gets reward for his body-twitching deceit and elegant gambol.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Hope fab makes some changes (maybe players maybe tactics) and we come out fighting, 3-1 to the good guys

 

[sagaman]

We have looked better with Milner off

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dunk has always had those blips

Minteh off for adingra and enciso on for welbeck.

Maybe leave them both on for another 20 mins or so, always a chance yet that one or the other will nick a goal out of nothing. No more 90th minutes subs tho please

 

[Normandy seagull]

Annoying one f.uck up costs us. Said at the start of the season Dunks decline would start this season. With not a proper pre season hasn’t looked his old self. Need to Nick a point somehow here. Might aswell go attack attack 2nd half after 60 mins if still 1-0

 

[Han Solo]

I'm trying my best to avoid thinking "it would be nice to have Billy Gilmour right now".
