It’s classic isn’t it!!
Last season create loads, don’t take chances,, great performances but no points and it’s all about results.
Away from home, don’t play well BUT, keep the other team at bay, certainly not a poor performance by any means, but enough to win, and ITS STILL NOT ENOUGH!
All you do is laugh at these unfortunates!!

Good goal. Created by Mac and Moder, great finish from the Tross. Marvellous.

Scrappy, untidy, with both teams cancelling each other out and a draw might have been a fair result. But it wasn't.Makes a change to be on the right side of a nicked win after games in the past where we've dominated only to get mugged near the end.
Some player ratings, no idea how accurate as haven't seen it.

We struggle to create chances without the Turnmeister.

Last season we did not beat teams we ought to be beating - all the relegated teams, for a start.
And Brentford have been hailed as a breath of fresh air, so doing them over is very sweet.
And Trossard is a class player that we are lucky to have!
Thanks for that…..great work by Moder and Ali Mac too
Their pressing game served them very well. But in the Prem, it's not possible to keep that up against sides that can pass round you. Their energy level dropped in last 20 minutes and there was really only one side going to take the points. Didn;t see their strikers in the last 20 minutes.
Too low on several players in both teams, especially the defensive players.
Also giving DW a 3 is silly. Both him and Maupay did what they could with very little service.

Albion match report says it’s the first time in our history, we’ve played ten international players. Only Maupay that hasn’t been capped as a full international.
The EPL is a money league, vastly expensive squads always rise to the top come May.

You know Duffy has had more shots and headers at goal this season than any other Brighton player, right? Mostly created by Gross.
Leeds were the masters last season = 6 points for a savvy Albion.

I think it's really unfair to slate our forwards in this game, since they really didn't get much to work with. Veltman's few crosses were wide off the mark, the whole midfield were either over or under hitting their passes. I think this game showed quite clearly that buying a shiny new striker isn't really the biggest issue (although I wouldn't mind), it's rather the need for quicker and more precise build-up play.
But credit to Brentford, they made it very difficult.
And no, don't get me wrong, this isn't me moping. I can't understand anyone calling this game a snooze fest, I was bouncing like an idiot and shouting basically from start to finish behind the sofa, which is my preferred place when feelings are involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the tactical aspect of the game and a fantastic win!

Based on those ratings, we lost by three or four clear goals!
