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

[GoingUp]

Im not sure where the 'we will be entertaining but ship loads of goals' or were be the new Leeds under Bielsa keeps coming from. So far to me we looks slow and ponderous and struggle to break through teams, other than the Liverpool game.

Under Potter 2.0 we started playing some long balls over the midfield and hitting teams with fast counters, so far under De Zerbi I think we keep the ball far too long and pass sideways for ages and give teams time to park the bus.

Still far too early to judge atm but it feels frustrating thinking we could be going backwards.

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

Say hello to my little friend

9 shots, 3 on target, 0 goals. Depressingly familiar.

I really can't see where the goals are coming from at this moment in time, Welbeck lacks all confidence in front of goal and we don't get enough men in the box. If we had Toney in our side we'd finish in the European places I reckon. Anyway let's get Mitoma on in the second half for a bit of pace and drive.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Is this the first time one of our managers have received a yellow card at the Amex?

No.

Frank just discovered a horse’s head in his kitbag.

#De Zerbi, De Zyco

 

[Gabbafella]

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

Imagine getting nutted by Viera's massive moon head.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I've a feeling Veltman knew what he was doing! Just don't understand why toney wasn't booked for his reaction.
I can't even look at franck now without wanting to slap him. Close your f***ing mouth when you're chewing you f***ing camel!

 

[Gully Forever]

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.

Yup, we don't like being pressed in possession, so what you do is play faster more incisive We have the team, they need to get their act together.

 

[oldboyroy]

Shouldn't be losing this against an average side but 1 moment of quality from a striker is all it takes. De Zerbi getting involved and booked is good to see some passion. Welbs just not at it at moment.

 

[Steve in Japan]

What would we do without Gary Neville explaining it all? That bloke should be in football management.

Ooooh......

 

[Normandy seagull]

We’ve gone backwards massively. The players don’t seem to be able to carry out what RDZ wants- reminds me of Potters first few months. Worrying that RBZ has changed so much that made us great at the start of the season. We don’t look solid defensively at all- way to open when on the back foot. Mac can’t seem to find a pass 1st half. Welbeck can’t hit a barn door. Really need to make good use of the subs and somehow get out of here with a point. I’d snap your arm off for that right now

 

[portlock seagull]

Too hesitant, and the moment is gone. Must do better 2nd half.

 

[Pevenseagull]

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

Lots of shouting and pointing the smacking of backs and arses on the way back out.

Classic.


C'mon!

 

[GT49er]

All kicking off between the mangers....

Noy enough nice dry straw, I expect...........

 

[Cotton Socks]

No.

It's a bit of a shock after Potter and Hughton!

 

[zefarelly]

Mitoma coming on. Doing a warm up by himself

My starting line up was, as it it, with Mitoma . . . The goal came from our left side . . .here's hoping the change happens.

no criticisms but a reaction which will stem a flow and hopefully give us sufficient advantage.

Veltman is Right up there. f***ing Legend.

 

[WhingForPresident]

We'll be ok. I think. Probably. Possibly. Hopefully.

 

[dangull]

Potters calm demeanour v De Zebri passion
Early days but I don't think we have found an improvement.

The game would need to be there For that to happen
