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

[Mancgull]

Is it right that if Lewis Dunk gets another yellow he gets a two game ban? And that the deadline is after the Leicester game?
If that is the case would we consider 'resting' him on Tuesday.

Last year, go a goal down at that point in the game against that sort of opposition - and I would have thought that was it. This year I still had hope we'd get a draw or more - that's the main difference for me.

I’m conditioned to our poor 2020 form ... I was happily stunned when Dunk equalised.

 

[Bodian]

Seriously, am I reading this wrong ?

I saw it from the other angle and it looks like Guendouzi brushes Maupay who grabs his own neck.

Are you watching MoTD? Clear grab.

 

[Weststander]

MOTD give an early, very extensive slot to us. Amazing.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Fist pump for Shearer’s comment!

 

[Eeyore]

Just seen it.

The original BT angle didn't show his right hand going round. It looked nothing more than a barge with Maupay making a meal of things.

The BBC angle shows the full picture.

He'll be in a little bother for that.

From about 2:08

I completely lost track at 2:14:00.

I don't know why.

I suspect he will. And the thing is, no-one seriously thinks Maupay did much wrong either. Pearce said 'meagre contact', everyone else of note has basically said 'one of those things'. Looks more like the keeper trying not to take the ball out of the box and landing awkwardly to me. Really odd thing for them to get so worked up about.

Is anyone getting worked up?

Oh.....

Sorry if already covered, but don't the new rules permit up to five subs in up to three breaks?

Does HT not count or something?!

March 45min, Montoya/Connolly 71min, Stephen 87min, Mac Allisterat 90+4'min

Surely the whole point of the “do your subs in 3 lots” idea is to stop a manager endlessly breaking up play/time wasting near the end by making 4/5 subs, one every few minutes. Making a sub at half time doesn’t waste any time.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Perfect timing - in more ways than one.

 

[atomised]

That's exactly why half time subs dont count towards the 3 lots

 

[Wozza]

Half time is extra and does not count as one of the 3.

Ah, guessed so. Thanks.

Make sense to change a player at half-time then. More flexibility for rest of second half.

 

[OzMike]

Great result, though undeserved, should have been 2 down at half time. Influential players like McAllister should be starting. I would rather be defending a lead after 75mins than clutching at straws. Grateful for the 3 unexpected points, but boy did we ride our luck. Yes, you could say we were rusty after not playing for so long, though it did look like normal service resumed to me. We should keep watching the win over Spurs to show us what can actually be acheived with effort. That said, great result and timed to perfection, football gods smiling on us today for a change. Running total update; I owe REMF £30 and happy with that, 2 more scrappy wins and it will be £90.

For a multi million assembled team I thought Arsenal looked very average tbh. A couple of efforts one good individual goal from Pepe and that was about it.

We played a short corner of the training ground for the first goal, and probably the best move of the game for the winner.

I think a lot of people are underestimating the fact that arsenal had already played a game before yesterday. That was always going to have an effect on the first half. Second I thought we were much better.

We've played well in so many games this season and not won through bad luck and or not taking chances. We bloody deserved that luck yesterday!

Deadline is after 32 games, so after ManU.

... and Arsenal's sub goalie made the two best saves of the match from shots by Mooy and Maupay.

 

[Si Gull]

Our season in real trouble now.

Rarely been so happy to see things turned around. With the results elsewhere things look a lot better. We're not out of the woods yet but the trees are definitely thinning out!

That would be like banning him ourselves in case he might be banned...
