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

[Uh_huh_him]

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

Don't disagree.

But when some of us said that the players coming back to fitness, wouldn't be ready for the matches that mattered,
We did mean it.

It wasn't just entitled whingeing.

 

[Eric the meek]

Maybe we could buy him back for 20m

We had him when he was at his peak. Now he's been Chelseafied.

Besides, if we had him back, there would be an entire Ecuadorian village to feed on top of the purchase price.

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.

We didn’t score?

 

[AlexBH]

No, but once we went 3-0 down heads went down and we had checked out. 2-0 down and on top with 20 minutes or so left and we have a good chance to bring it back to 2-1.

Come on. That team should have been perfectly capable of being organised and hard to score against. We resembled a sieve. Shocking performance and ultimately you have to question how we are approaching football matches. Luton, Fulham, Roma, aggregate score 11-0

 

[um bongo molongo]

This was given onside in the Liverpool game as well. Also odd

 

[maltaseagull]

Estupinan is nowhere near the level of last season.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Estupinan is nowhere near the level of last season.

Neither is Ferguson.

Defenders foot seems to be in front of the line so looks onside to me.

 

[mile oak]

Welbeck was sensational, just needs a good partner upfront.

 

[chrisg]

Verbruggen
Veltman. Van Hecke. Dunk. Estupian
Gross. Gilmour. Baleba/ Lallana
Bounanotte, Welbeck. Adringa

Subs to be used. Ati. Encisco.

I don’t think playing Pervis and Joel and Baleba would have made the slightest difference.
Perv goes awol in defence and Veltman hasn’t got 90 mins in him yet. Baleba hasn’t started for months either .

The team he put out was the best available ( goalie maybe not)

Wait until you see the line up Vs Forest , as that will look weak.

 

[mile oak]

That was a game at 2-0 down crying out for Adam Lallana; strange how RDZ brought defenders on first

 

[Swegulls]

Estupinan is nowhere near the level of last season.

I think it would be good for him, and us, to just play as a LB for a while. He’s a hell of a defender. But RDZ want him to be higher up which leaves us wide open.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Welbeck was sensational, just needs a good partner upfront.

And the ability to finish scorable chances of course.

 

[mile oak]

And the ability to finish scorable chances of course.

He creates space and opportunities for others if only they took their chances too

 

[Mancgull]

Forest at home is now a really important game.
Will show how we are in terms of morale and belief. We really need to show some steel and desire to get a result.
Roberto needs to earn his salt.

But our manager doesn' t play that way.

Maybe Bloom should have come out and said. "De Zerbi is going to have to grow up and shut up shop" instead of "we have all these players coming back we'll be all right"

It will be a draw

 

[zefarelly]

Wtf was that?. 4-0 up, every decision go romas way and they start cheating.

European cup competition isn't about football as we know it, it's a different level of kick/non kick cuntiness.

If you refer to the 'Football gone wrong' manual . . . .

Chapter 2 is all about gamesmanship . . Chapter 3 . . . . Cheating in disguise. . .

Greasey cheating Latino's . . . Chapter 4

Chapter 8 is a new addition, combining all of the above, in one, and suggests ' shithousery' as a general approach.

there's also a weapons grade adendum . . . Mentions Villa , and Emeri. . . Not sure its In print yet . . . Still on the dark web possibly

Yeah possibly but I still very much doubt it.
