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

[dolphins]

Mitoma and Fati both out ready to start the second half

Man marking us out of the game is a concern. Same with AEK.
Feels a long way from Man United not even pressing us.

The worry is that every future opponent knows that now.

 

[AlexBH]

We absolutely need to make the most of that let off. March for Buonanotte, Mitoma for Adingra straight away. Pedro later on for Welbeck or Ferguson. Maybe even Baleba for Dahoud.
Plus an almighty rocket from Roberto!

I don’t think Adingra has played badly, he’s trying, but there’s no movement around him. Ferguson has lost out on virtually all the 50/50s today. Need a change of shape or players.

 

[dstanman]

Good to see a couple of early changes

GOAL: BRIGHTON 2-1 Bournemouth (Mitoma, 46')

WHAT A START FROM OUR TWO SUBSITUTES!!!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I want Mitoma and Fati rather than Pedro on. Fati still aching to impress whereas Pedro seems to lack the determination we need right now.

Edit - looks like I've got my wish.

Edit2 - WHAAAT??

Yeah Ferguson has been poor. Maybe still not fully over his illness?

 

[Hendrax]

Mitoma - FB
Fati - Ferguson

 

[Mustafa II]

Well done RDZ. Positive changes.

Ferguson obviously not 100%. Buenonotte struggling in more ways than one.

Fati and Mitoma are probably our best two players.

Bring on the 2nd half.

 

[Icy Gull]

Good subs, both Ferguson and Buononotte were shite in the first half

 

[Seagull27]

Correct decision to take Ferguson off, he's been completely anonymous. Perhaps still ill/injured. Don't think it works with him and Welbeck together either.

 

[Hendrax]

get in!!!

 

[Marty McFly]

Much needed change! Haha

Nice one Mitoma 2-1

 

[maltaseagull]

What a brilliant substitution!

 

[Bodian]

Hmmmm I can’t help feeling that Facundo isn’t mentally up to it just yet… for all his apparent talent, he looks nervy, edgy, doesn’t look hungry and (as anyone who’s ever played football knows) if your first touch is off, you’re in big trouble… it’s mental, youthful fragility and plain old fashioned nerves… there’s a player in there somewhere, but he’s clearly thinking ‘what if I f*** up?’ Rather than the Julio school of thought: ‘I belong…’

I’d take him off and get an arm round him.

Swap Andriga to the right and bring on Fati.

I’d then send Fati up top late, and send on Mito and March last 15.

3 points in the bag. Lol.

Right so far. And it's working!!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

What a way to stay the half!!

 

[London Irish]

Lovely assist Fati - that’s the player we’ve heard about

 

[The Fits]

Incredible. From both. Great play from Fati. Mitoma does the rest.

 

[larus]

GTFI

 

[Icy Gull]

Well that was pretty amazing!
