[Albion] AS Roma vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Ethelwulf]

We've had enough chances to make this a contest

That’s the main issue chances but no goals

People saying we've missed chances.
I don't get the angle there.
If you think we've been unlucky I can point you to countless other games this year when exactly the same thing has happened. You can't keep missing chances whilst defending like children and expect anything to change.

this 100 per cent nail on head . f*** all to do with luck

 

[Mancgull]

I just don't understand why De Zerbi keeps picking Jason Steele when it clearly has not worked. Give Verbruggen a chance.

Why the f@ck are you focusing on this?? I think you are shell shocked by the defeat. None of the goals are down to Steele. In fact he’s made two excellent saves.
I’d put your head in the fridge and calm down

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Well Sheffield Wednesday did it against Peterborough...

 

[BHA Fan93]

Villa 6-1
Luton 4-0
Roma 4-0

Should I slow it down for you?

How many of them goals are his fault? Wasn’t dunk playing in all these too? But no we will blame steele. Clueless football fans.

 

[NorthStandSeagull]

I wonder if we’re allowed to boo this result..?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

You feel we’re lulling them into a true sense of security?

No, I stated we needed to take our chances in a post ages ago but you'd think we're getting relegated to the isthmian league or something, the way the JCLs are reacting to a heavy loss

Well...no one who wants to win trophies. You have to be able to defend. This man doesn't believe its important. One dimensional risky football which is too unfair on some of our talented players.

More realistically it puts too much pressure on the naive children at the other end of the pitch, this is Roma, not Rotherham.

Weapons grade shithousery is all we will see until the end of both legs

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This is beyond embarrassing. RDZ being ruthlessly exposed as a manager putting too much pressure on his players. No in game management. Just the same old tippy tappy whatever the scoreline.

I can't think he gets much loyalty from players after a certain period of time, he's happy to throw the players under the bus

 

[portlock seagull]

How big will the crowd be next week?

I hope we don’t all go AWOL. That would be tinpot.

 

[The Fits]

Villa 6-1
Luton 4-0
Roma 4-0

The question is is that a coincidence?
My feeling is that different GKs control the defensive units in different ways. So I do wonder if Steele has a part to play in it.

A couple of bad results and the bedwettery on here is staggering, some of you are winding each other up to make even more outlandish doom and gloom statements.

Just for some perspective, premier league, P27 and 39 points, safe in late Feb, a few points off another European place. FFS

You've never had it so good UTA

Because he’s useless. Only people who don’t understand football can’t see that.

Everyone said the same when I kept on that Hughton needed to go but no that was again “clueless football fans” remove the sentiment and actually watch a game of football

 

[Sorrel]

In retrospect, buying Seagulls Travel for the home leg in case it went to extra time seems to have been a tad ambitious. Oh well, let’s hope we can play a decent match anyway.

 

[AstroSloth]

They did! But drew them where his feet were, not arms/shoulders. Are the rules different in Europe - in the PL that would definitely be ruled off!!

The defensive line appears to have been drawn from where Van Hecke's calf is on the picture, not where it is a 3D space.

 

[US Seagull]

Well Sheffield Wednesday did it against Peterborough...

Sure, but Roma are no Peterborough. And on this showing, we look more like Sheffield Hangover Monday.

 

[portlock seagull]

It’s my mantra for life.

They’re all c*nts out there.

And not a bad one! Depressingly accurate. Should be taught in schools so every kid learns early doors not to trust anyone but themselves.

 

[hart's shirt]

Well Sheffield Wednesday did it against Peterborough...

And Roma aren't as massive as Wednesday so it's still on.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

The season has fallen apart

3 losses in a row.

no goals scored.

The wheels really have come off

Been coming off for some time. Irrespective of the costly injuries the mindset is all wrong. We are losing a number of games in the first 45 mins. Too open too early and having too much to do and no readjustment from the manager.

Me booking Friday off work incase it went to extra time and pens

On a shocking run of form, defence that can’t defend, strikers that can’t score, manager who doesn’t what to be here, board that won’t back a manager when in the prime position to do so

But yeah all good
