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

[SlickHenry]

I thought TNT were saying there has only been a view with 1 line drawn.

Oh missed that. I presumed (perhaps wrongly) that VAR has other angles to work from and used that to draw to line from JPvH. The TV picture they chose was just showing the Roma player was level with that line.

Bottles, coins and lighters have been thrown from the home stands towards Brighton fans in the away end, as the seagulls go 4-0 down to AS Roma.



A spokesman for Brighton and Hove Albion said: “We have reported to UEFA and Italian police and requested immediate action be taken.”

 

[Seagull58]

We need to shield the defense better. Without the higher quality holding midfielder we need to not be so suicidal going forward. Yes it will mean less goals, but will mean we have a greater chance of a result in games like this.

The only flaw in that argument is that we don't score ANY goals on current form.

 

[Mancgull]

The one he jumped over, the one he was running the wrong way for, the one he just stood there and flopped and the one where his position was wrong to start with and he just ran around looking lost.

Sorry, you’ve got that wrong. Not down to Jason. Not sure he’s the answer long term but can’t blame him for tonight.

 

[sagaman]

Although our squad is currently depleted, I thought that RDZs selection was really poor.

 

[Justice]

Unfortunately Roma will do everything to break up the game and stop the Albion getting any sort of rhythm going.
Italian game management, something we are rubbish at.
Notts Forest are probably licking their lips

Notts Forest?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The past week has probably f***ed Dunky's chance of making the Euros squad too

 

[tigertim68]

I knew this was going to happen
out the FA CUP , out of the EL and sliding down the league
Our injuries have caught up with us ,
our team looks a shadow of it former self,
our defence is atrocious, but we are lacking our defensive midfielders to cover
picking the wrong keeper does not help
but like I have said before not replacing our midfield dynamic duo from last season and Mwepu
is why we are struggling

Commentary on the West Ham game:

'Stay in the tie. Be professional. Especially when you are at home in the second leg.'

Indeed.

What a great night all round

Why are (a significant minority of) italian fans such cvnts?

You should've just chinned a few of them. Doesn't take much to knock those Italiians over, just a mere gust of wind.
There's a reason we've never seen any decent Italian boxers...

With us having our best spell in the game and only 2-0 down mid way through the second half if we can bring it back to 2-1 the tie is still alive in the second leg. Of course we’ll never know as the goal stood.

So the Mancini goal was basically offside looking at that analysis but guess it didn't make a difference in the end, we aren't scoring 3 goals in the return fixture.

What makes you think we wouldn't have still conceded 2 more if the goal had been ruled out?

Name your 11 then.

 

[Hamilton]

I've said it before, but we miss Caicedo so much.

Maybe we could buy him back for 20m

 

[Mike Small]

"I expect a good reaction" and "we can be thrashed but we will always bounce back". RDZ 06/03/24

Thank God we bounced back tonight. We could have been really spanked otherwise.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

So are we gonna double bounce back against Forest?

Or double, double bounce back against Roma.?

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Name your 11 then.

I thought, Steele aside, that he’d picked a really strong 11 considering the players missing.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Has RDZ been interviewed yet?

 

[sagaman]

Name your 11 then.
