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

“We’re not 3-0 up against Arsenal by half time. Porter out!”

**** off P.rick

 

[R. Slicker]

Doing fine. Won't stop some fans digging out all of our players plus the manager. Arsenal won easily against Chelsea and yet we get no credit for stopping them playing and still creating chances.

The commentators have already told us. It's down to Arsenal having an off day, Nothing to do with Brighton.

Strong first half. The better side obviously, a few good but no clear chances.

Biss is absolute quality - looking a top 4 player today, easy.

Bernardo has been my highlight - having a really good game, looks to be enjoying himself.

Ali J & Alex Mac not looking likely to be the answer to our goalscoring problems - one surely to go off early on for Welbeck or Maupay (or both).

Again, same old story, deserve to be winning. Lack of goal scoring prowess responsible again. Same old.

Optimistic about the 2nd half... but knowing this season, we'll probably lose 1-0 to a VAR penalty or something.

BTW, those who pissed their pants over the Potter lineup, not going as bad as you expected?

Sanchez looks considerably more assured today.

No idea what all the moaning is about, I have the utmost respect for Graham and Mikkel for using this game to promote OAP walking football

we were the better team in the first 45.

Better team or slightly less shit? Woefully pedestrian. Devoid of quality and ideas.

Got Arsenal 1-0 written all over it.

 

[Pembury]

All the confident predictions of a comfortable Ars win by the Prime pundits look a bit silly now ... get one of our prolific strikers on second half and we can win this!

Agreed. Pretty much all pundits spout shit. Get Wellbez on and we can get some movement up there.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Well i thought we played well. There ive said it. Should be leading and Arsenal up to now look beatable, that can of course change in an instant but we are definitely into a game we could win. Doubt Arsenal will play as badly second half. Come on you super seagulls prove Potter right.

Propper is so bad

I'd rather have Molumby in there. That would at least allow Bissouma to get a bit more forward.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

800 posts before half time is something!

I don’t think it’s been as bad as most have thought.

Subs and timing of subs will be key

For goodness sake, we're a contrary bunch aren't we.

We moan that our strikers are crap, and then moan that they're not playing.

Then we moan that the team out there are missing chances, and 'we should have had a striker on' - yet see above, these strikers are the ones we've moaned about, so what difference would they have made?

We then moan about Argie Mac having a go instead of passing it, when we've also spent weeks moaning that we try and pretty pass the ball in instead of having a go.

I think we're doing okay, and have actually looked a bit more like scoring than normal. One positive is that we seem to be getting men into the box for crosses and knock downs.

You realise that not every post you read is by the same person? Opinions are naturally varied!

This is the team that beat Chelsea easily.
And we are outplaying them.
With our reserve front 5
I really despair at the negative comments on this board

He kicked it harder than Maupay normally does though.

Really? Bit of a pea roller, easy save

I’m gonna break my rule about trying not to slag off players. But!! Propper. There’s a reason why he’s not been playing.

“We’re not 3-0 up against Arsenal by half time. Porter out!”

Is that Dawn or Gail Porter?

 

[Normandy seagull]

I'm happy to hold my hands up, we're doing OK... The age old question though, can we take more chances that the opposition and win a game?

Agree I’m satisfied with the first half- nothing to give potter stick about thus far

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Needs an apoplectic half time talk. Or at least some lapsang souchong teabags thrown at the wall

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Arsenal are the worst team we have played this season

 

[Reddleman]

What is Aluko talking about? Just described the Ali J shot saying he should have hit it hard and low and test the keeper which is exactly what he did? Utterly bizarre?

 

[London Irish]

Bring Welbeck and Maupay on. Massive chance to save our season here

 

[bluenitsuj]

As our strikers have hardly been scoring us that such a great loss. AJ and Mac both have good strikes on them. I'll give it a chance before slagging anyone off.

I can put whatever opinion I want. If you do not like it then ignore. Quite simple
