A lot more than Ben White's hoof has got us that goal and the result. But my point on this thread can we all stop the tongue up his backside generated by all the summer fuss

Right, but it’s not like he gifted them the ball in our penalty box, we didn’t stop the cross, didn’t defend Benteke and as much as I hate to say it, Sanchez simply didn’t set himself for a shot. Many players let themselves down for that goal, it’s not solely on Ben for a crap kick.
I wish the ball had hit a garden shed tonight.
It’s a simple as this...... minutes to go, keep the ball.....not hoof it blindly.
Yep we kept it for the previous 94 minutes.

Agree. One of his poorer games today, but I think he's like solid overall.
Just an off day, but what an awful game to have an off day!

Or as simple as block the cross? Or clear the cross? Or save the shot?
Harsh on Sanchez, the shot was quality, Burn glances and then loses him.
White has to take most criticism for the inexplicable U12s moment

It was a ridiculous thing to do but not entirely his fault they went on to score. They still had a lot to do after he hoofed it in the air like a Sunday league 10 year old. The ball shouldn't have got passed 3 or 4 players and Sanchez should have saved the fairly soft shot.

Harsh, maybe, but he still wasn’t set for the shot, as Benteke struck it he was stood bolt upright, that’s not good.

But whatabout
His cock up started the move, and you know this.
Yes, I do know this, but the play that led to the goal directly after could have been stopped at a couple of phases which is something you are also aware of, why is Ben the only one receiving flack, he gave the ball away in their half and we did nothing positive to stop the attack, the looped cross or the shot.

Most of the top teams would have commited a tactical foul to stop the break and then defended the resultant free kick. Typically niaive from Brighton. How many goals have been conceeded on the counter? Must be quite a few. Almost got caught out at the death against Fulham like that. Happens so often.
I haven't seen them but were your previous 318 posts as observationally correct as this one?
There are some absolute tools posting on this thread about White.

If only one of the forwards had put away one or two of the 5,438 chances, then it wouldn't really matter, would it? But oh no, let's have a pop at the defenders – they are the REAL culprits for the defeat

Win as a team, lose as a team. Plenty of "what if?" moments last night to avoid blaming any one player. Gutting result but I'm hoping they can put it out of their minds and figure out how to beat West Brom who will play in a similar way.

I wouldn't say that, he was too focussed on the player, he lost track of his positioning between the Benteke & the goal as well as the flight of the ball.
