[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth *** Official Match Thread ***

[Zeberdi]

About 3-4% - so we 'should' have 4.

Posted stats on Amazing Analytics thread a while back

• An analysis of corner to goal ratio on a large sample of matches was done by a guy on reddit which concluded that while 4.74% of goals were scored from a play sequence that started from a from a corner, only 1.27% of corners directly led to a goal.

However, the rate is generally improving apparently in top clubs

(with short corners having a higher conversion rate)

Hitting the post doesn't count as 'on target'. Nothing else has looked particularly goalbound.

Undav passing to the goalie on repeat?

 

[Mustafa II]

feels like estupinian and mitoma have fallen out, estupinian not even looking for him even when he’s free.. not sure why?
Always playing the pass central instead of wide .

Mitoma is quite clearly being marked out of the game. Nothing to do with a falling out.

They are often doubling up on Mitoma.

Still maintain it’s the wrong formation, it didn’t work against Liverpool and we looked better once we reverted to the usual 3 in midfield. We need to change back to taht.

 

[maltaseagull]

Also they should’ve had a penalty.

That was a shoulder charge. We didn't get one for a clear push in the back the other week.

 

[Reagulls]

Probably cos half the boremuff team were marking him?

I’m west lower it’s 20 ft away from me , mitoma unmarked several times, estupinian not even looking for him. Hope this changes second half

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sorry if mentioned but I thought that Caicedo chant directed to Offiah warming up was a tad awkward in the first half!

We also should’ve had the decision in that game. They were both fouls in my opinion. Shoulder charges in the back of a player running away from you are fouls.

 

[Justice]

No idea at all what we are about or any faith in our recruitment or development strategy

Under 2% (for a direct goal) but overall improving in PL

All about the profit profit and more profit. Nothing wrong with that if you find it enjoyable.. For two windows the big news has been about who we are selling or which club is bidding.
Everyone will want Mitoma in the summer Caciedo gone one season wonders.

Got 0-0 written all over this

 

[GT49er]

Caicedo to come on soon?

 

[US Seagull]

Looks like Caicedo and Sarmiento coming on...

Gilmour and Welbeck off.

 

[Bodian]

Here he comes

 

[Pevenseagull]

Clap, clap ,clap

 

[fruitnveg]

Billy'll come good sooner or later. There's clearly a player in there.

 

[Bodian]

Gilmour writes off ten grands worth of camera there!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Looking like last on MOTD.

 

[Weststander]

Aston Villa levels of time wasting.

After “oooooooh” that was my very next thought.
