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

[Dick Head]

What a load of old shit.

Indefensible performance. Potter should go, he's not a PL manager.

Really.

It's not the manager it's the quality up top.

 

[R. Slicker]

The problem is we’ve seen this game COUNTLESS times this season. It won’t change unless the club make brave and fundamental changes

Agreed, every team we play lift their game after half time and we can't react.

 

[FannieMac]

Decent effort, in the end the team with a Lacazette level striker won.

The manager who made the subs first, and charged their team up to show some passion after half time contributed somewhat too

 

[BBassic]

Tell you what though, Bernardo looked bloody good. If he's back and ready to play it'll give us some options.

I'm also more and more impressed with Webster. I like his little runs forward and he seems to bamboozle opposition players quite easily.

 

[Guinness Boy]

That's a shame.

Could I have tomorrow's lottery numbers while you have your crystal ball out?

Wow. Can you tell me next weeks lottery numbers please?

Wow. Imagine that happening with that team.

I can't promise lottery numbers but do let me know if you ever want any sports betting tips.

I'm sorry but we don't dominate games, we may dominate possesion amongst the back 3 or 5, but our tactics are woefully predictable. If there is one thing we can't do, it's break down a defence, any defence. Yet we insist on passing the ball around until the opposition can organise their defence, knowing we cannot penetrate it.

There needs to be some impetus to stretch the game and overload offensive players, but we will not all the time we play so slowly.

Potter really is devoid of any idea's, sadly we are doomed!

 

[Stat Brother]

Again gotta wonder why posters are losing their ploppy.

If you're surprised by anything that happened tonight you really haven't been paying attention.

 

[Bodian]

Does seem strange these second half performances. It's almost as though the other teams just play to lull us to sleep and go in at 0-0, and then come out to play properly after half-time. We simply seem unable now to step up that gear. A lack of urgency and passion isn't there.

 

[Easy 10]

Centrebacks on both wings, chipping the ball in vaguely towards wide players / midfielders standing in the box.

Its not really worked, for some reason.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Not the depth in squad for this rotation stuff. Too many not up to the required standard. Veltman and Burn so slow and frustrating down the flanks.

 

[SoggyCabbages]

Nope just predicting what he’ll say. Can I have a crack at his job? I think I say the right things?

Depends, have you got a degree in emotional intelligence? If so, you're set.

 

[Doc Lynam]

We just seem to hold the ball too long before passing, allowing the opposition to set.

 

[vagabond]

My comments were in reference to you using budget as an excuse.

So no, you’ve no caught anybody doing anything.

I appreciate you’re desperately trying to save face after I called you out for typing your thoughts as if they were mine.

Um. Yes that’s a complete and utter lie.

When have I ever discussed the tracker or written a result off due to the tracker? Find a quote where I did. I dare you, but I know you won’t be able to.

I 100% know I never have as I don’t really care for the tracker. No issue standing by my own words but don’t create something I never said. Nasty piece of work.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Oh do **** off now please

But he is right.

Although we all want to win let's get realistic.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Again gotta wonder why posters are losing their ploppy.

If you're surprised by anything that tonight you really haven't been paying attention.

Not surprised at all. That’s the point

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Decent effort, in the end the team with a Lacazette level striker won.

Yes and that’s very fair as well, but if you don’t start with one you are a distinct disadvantage.

I don’t want him out, as I’ve said in another thread, but do you think he’d ever resign? He seems quite a proud and honourable individual.

First half good movement but no cutting edge again. Second half - we were never going to score. Burn - what was he doing? His fault or was he told to be so out of position? Bernardo - not good enough. Veltman is no wing back - slow and passes back. AJ should have scored 2 or 3, and didn’t. Why bring March and Trossard on to be ineffective in midfield?

However - Bissouma was superb. Sanchez makes a save!

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It did not work Graham, was that a last throw of the dice, did you go all in?
I admire your balls but you called it totally wrong, a gamble that failed miserably.
We play nice football, but everything else you need to survive in this league is totally missing, not just tonight but all this season except Newcastle, and most of 2020.
Any other manager in any other league with your record would have been sacked by now.
Tony Bloom, what was you on to give Potter that extended deal so early on, unlike you to make big mistakes.
I'm always hopeful but i have had enough now.
Arsenal were really poor tonight, but we were far worse.

 

[vagabond]

We deserve relegation due to the lack of action in the summer and cannot see anything happening in this window either

Agree. Recruitment have let us down.
