[Albion] Birmingham City v Brighton And Hove Albion 15.00 KO St Andrews

Sorry I don’t understand...was it a joke?

You didn't put 'I' in front of 'fancy a break', so it could have been read as 'fancy a break?'.

'Have a break, have a Kitkat' was a long running advertising campaign slogan.

So, SimmoSays makes a joke based on that, then ten minutes later he's forgotten all about it, apparently!

Was what a joke?

I never knew that - they say you learn something every day don't they.

Lol he was taking the mick out of my earlier joke so I was getting him back

What earlier joke

Supposedly, he was let go because his attitude wasn’t wonderful.

Well that wouldn’t surprise me one bit smiff82. We’ve all seen his petulance on match day. I can only imagine what he is like at other times.

According to whom? Got a link to that rumour?

timbha seems to think the post was OK.

A lesser mortal, e.g. Zaha, would have accused the post of a deliberate body check and demanded a penalty.

[emoji38] If you were a Klopp or Pochettino, then your tactics would be a little more nuanced than that.

If he were Klopp or Pochettino he would probably still be posting here.

Have a break, have a quick crap.

Have a break, have a quick crap.

Why quick? Nothing so under-rated as a good crap; nothing so over-rated as a bad shag.

On topic: I was a bit worried in the first 5 minutes, but after that I thought we played really pretty well - albeit against what I think will turn out to be a lower (relegated?) Championship team. Trossard really looks the business - he just needs a goal to hopefully get that monkey off his shoulder, and hopefully become a little calmer in front of goal. Montoya and Locadia look totally different players. Murray seems to have gathered a yard of pace (!). Dunk and Duffy remain imperious. Bit worried about playing a back 3 against PL teams - we got stuffed last year when we tried it. Burn? Nice to see him playing on the left wing at times; a little agricultural in defence occasionally. Maty had little to do, but when called upon did just fine.

Friday will be a much better gauge. Then it’s the real thing - we were abject v Watford last year - let’s not be this!

A really polished and professional performance against a tough, battle hardened Championship outfit. The Trillion Trophy Stadium is never an easy place to go so to emerge such convincing winners was excellent.

It was against a good Chelsea side that day and although we only lost 2/0 last season playing two CB’s we seemed to be more in the match the previous season until they scored there last two goals late on...so perhaps the idea shouldn’t be written off just yet

Oh, I’m not writing it off - after all, it allowed us to attack more fluidly. Just a concern about the number we might concede, s’all. Fewer 1-0 games (to either team) I suspect.

Lol...you do get the feeling of more goals

Without going OTT, or using blue and white tinted spectacles, after that performance I feel a bit more comfortable with the sacking of CH than I did before.

I think I'd have preferred Bernardo on the left of the back three, but Burn did OK tbf.
It was good to see that when the ball crossed the half way line, several Albion players went with it!
Trossard looked good.
Alzate impressive when he came on - I predict he will make his full debut before Christmas.

Good performance. Mind you, Watford won't give us the ball back as often as Birmingham did!

We pressed them with three up top when they were in possession. Was I watching Brighton?

We have the advantage of opposition teams not knowing exactly how to nullify us before we even kick a ball

 

[Blackadder]

I have made a couple of changes to my Fantasy League team following yesterday.

Anyone else?

And IMO, this is the thing we need to get better at, football seems to evolving more and more to pressing high and winning the ball.

Equally, we need to combat it better when it’s done to us.

For me that was Chris’s biggest weakness and the only thing I would criticise...
