[Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

need a better 2nd half

 

[chickens]

I remember for the first 18 months of Potter he was ideologically wedded to playing out from the back, no matter the result.

I have a weird feeling we may have to bite our tongues for another 18 months until RDZ allows the pragmatic need for results to overcome the ideological purity of his football vision.

Caicedo booking was very, very soft. Green ref falling for stuff I think.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well that was at least as frustrating as I feared.

 

[DJ NOBO]

How does it just refuse to go in the goal? So frustrating.

They keep getting blocks in because our approach play is too slow, allowing their defence to get back.

 

[Littlemo]

I wonder what Prem manager would be hardest to beat in a fight?

 

[Frutos]

Frustrating - feels like I've written this so many times, but it's the same old story. Lots of passes, a few good chances, no finishing touch.

Still optimistic we can get something out of this.

 

[Gully Forever]

I really want to see better possession 2nd half. Need to go up a gear. We don't like being pressed.

I bet Klopp would put up a good old brawl.

Brentford always hard to beat, frustrating

 

[Mustafa II]

We're the better team. We don't really deserve to be losing.

Scrappy game. Brentford have found themselves with the best chance of the game and they took it.

Can't see us winning this, but hoping we can nick a point.

 

[Popeye]

We had our chances and can beat these. Love how De Zerbi standing up for his players.

Also, didn't realize how much of a prick Thomas Frank is and really Brentford players in general.

 

[Weststander]

It may just be me, but we are looking like the Potter team of 20/21 - some lovely build up but shocking final balls and finishing?

It’s very reminiscent of the Potter performances v scoring/results conundrum August 19 to March 22.

 

[Northstander]

Mafiosi shit going on in dressing room now..we will win!

 

[Mike Small]

Wish our team was as committed and certain as Veltman. Moises and Dunk playing alright. Macallister sloppy and slow. Gross offering little. Welbeck looks a bit shot.

Equaliser would be nice second half.

What I find very frustrating is our slow/standing on the ball passing. It's shit. Was the same against Spurs.

 

[chaileyjem]

Mitoma coming on. Doing a warm up by himself

 

[Gabbafella]

Get De Zerbi on the pitch, show these players what passion is.
We looked good for about 10mins but then reverted to dicking about on the ball and poor passing. Get Welbeck off, totally ineffective so far, let Enciso have a bash.

 

[Kosh]

This has heroic second half victory written all over it.

Textbook sky sports high stakes drama, with a brilliant montage at the end played out to AC/DCs You Shook Me All Night Long...

1-2 final score, or I’ll leave this place never to return.

Never tell me the odds.

Is this the first time one of our managers have received a yellow card at the Amex?
Edit to add... I meant since we started playing at the Amex! Yay, you now get at least 1.5 hours to edit your post!
