[Albion] Austria pre-season friendly v FC Liefering - Sat. 13th July

[One Teddy Maybank]

They can be built from where you like....just as long as you score more goals. I’d much rather win 2-1 than 1-0.

No they aren’t, if you look at great teams. Liverpool, Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea. The only anomaly is Citeh.

You still have a point at 0-0, you have nothing as soon as you go one down

The years when they finished in their highest league position for a 100 years or so?

And they won what?

They lost out to a Utd team with a solid defence

Yeah but how often did we just go out to limit the goals we lost to by 2 or less? I’d much rather lose 2-6 than 0-2 and be entertained. Goal difference at season’s end is worth one measly point. Bournemouth are the yardstick imo. They suffer heavy defeats but sometimes win games they are not expected to, and most of their games are entertaining

I know there’s a school of thought that thinks heavy defeats dent confidence but I think setting up not to lose by more than a goal or two does the same thing. The mentality should be “we’ll try to win” imo. That didn’t happen much last season and the players became shell shocked as we lost game after game without ever setting up to win it.

I dropped that laptop and cracked the screen then being me tried to use superglue to fix it but it ran and made it impossible to see so have to connect to the TV and use that PC just for that streaming etc. I could have bought another screen but thought why bother why not just keep that pc for the streaming on the TV.

Willing to bet that Newcastle fans would love those days back again

Try telling Kevin Keegan that after his time as manager of Newcastle.

I don't believe there's a single Geordie alive who preferred Rafa's pragmatic necessity under Ashley to THAT season under Keegan. They may not have won the league but they haven't seen the like of that football or table position ever again.

You must have been in heaven after the Bristol Rovers 2-8 home defeat.

Unfortunately zero points are given for entertainment.

If you were wondering where the home fans were, this is the view from the camera side. It looks as though Albion fans actually outnumbered locals in the pitiful crowd. In a friendly. On the Continent. You'd think they'd be queuing up to come and see a team packed with Premier League players!

No wonder not many home fans huge concert on today

Typical singing, cow-bell ringing, and yodelling: Immerse yourself in Tirolean tradition and let the Gundolf Family entertain you with an amazing folk show at Sandwirt Restaurant in Innsbruck.

Clap along to traditional Tirolean folk dancing and music on a raucous evening in Innsbruck! The Gundolf Family–a staple in Innsbruck since 1967–can rely upon a long music tradition as they have welcomed visitors to their highly entertaining Tirolean Evenings for 50 years. Taking place inside the family-run Sandwirt Restaurant on Reichenauer Straße Street, the show features original Tirolean traditions and authentic folk music played on a variety of musical instruments, Tirolean dances, shoe-slapping as well as typical singing, cow-bell ringing, yodelling and jigs aplenty.

Gawd, does it matter what the scoreline was? does it matter how we performed? No it doersn't. It was a training exercise, a way of getting their fitness back, pure and simple.

I must admit I strongly believe that the less one tries to create opportunities, the less rehearsed one will be at taking them and more likely a player is to panic and fluff it up.

If a team spends most of the season being solid at the back when it comes to must win games at the back end of the season we don't really know how to.

I wouldn't expect us to attack full out leaving us weak at the back, and I would expect us to defend hard and attack hard in an orchestrated system.

Same as being bored to tears and still losing then. I know which I’d take. I wasn’t a Brighton fan for the game you mention but I think there were some good goals scored from footage I seem to recall seeing.

You are missing the point, people are discussing the change in tactics and the way players played. Of course it means nothing but God it was refreshing to me.

They could have just watched the Sound of Music instead.

Would that be the Invincibles?

No, that would be last season.

All valid points, but I want the vital point.

Heavy defeats are draining and demoralising, there are no positives for me.

But not very competently, obviously....

But clearly they weren’t defensive, so sorry I’m not getting your point.

They were offensive which is the precise reason they failed champions league wise and reinforces my point IMO.
