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

[The Fits]

I am getting more and more concerned as to how long we can hold on to the fecking genius that is Graham Potter. That was one seriously impressive performance.

As an aside any Albion fan who is even close to voting Potter out is a complete and utter moron

Yup. Suspect Spurs, Everton, West Ham and Leicester will be all over him when they next need a manger. Maybe the biggest clubs would want someone with more trophies/ European experience, so there’s that, but he is top of the next few clubs list without a doubt.

Bloody hate international breaks when we are playing well. So excited for the next game already!

At least Biss should be back

Should be beating teams like arsenal.

First half was fantastic and we pressed superbly.

Onto Norwich.

all i xan say is Trossard, ****ing hell, what a player he is becoming.

Did Sky gave him MotM?

En route home from the game.

Brilliant performance. I can confirm that a hefty % of arsenal fans are utter bellends

Get 3 points from Norwich and we'll still be sitting pretty - and I fully expect that to happen.

That's Norwich winning then.

Couldn't agree more.

No Cucu, who was also excellent. Not much between them. BBC sports poll has Duffy top!

Cucurella

These legs did some miles today.

Not even close, if we can play anything like we did today.

No Cucu deservedly got it

 

[Icy Gull]

Imagine if Mr Bloom delivered him a further proven goal scorer (or greedily two)!

To outplay arrogant $$$$ Arse who’d just destroyed Spuds, whilst missing our world class midfield powerhouse.

Won’t happen, if it comes it will be from the under 23s

Nope, Cucurella, and as an armchair Sky watcher I called it before them. Tross and most of the team had blinders but Cucurella was different class imo

 

[moggy]

Against palace, Cucurella passed back or sideways too much and hardly made any progressive runs.
Today he played like he did against Leicester.
Looks such a good player running forwards and love the little balls he plays inside.
Sublime!

 

[Whitechapel]

Today wasn’t about poor finishing, it was about Arsenal parking the bus and us not having the pure pace or the target man lump to bother them. With Lamptey fit to play a part we might have had that spark to break them down, without him it was too easy to restrict us largely to long shots and headers from corners.

Fantastic performance though and we go in to the second international break level on points with Manchester United

 

[brighton_tom]

That was a class performance considering no Bissouma, Welbeck, Webster. Shame we couldn’t top it off with a goal. We look like we’ve really kicked on from being a relegation battle team.

 

[pb21]

Thought Sanchez played well, again, he is one cool customer.

It's an interesting position.

3 of the 4 teams that you've mentioned are currently below us in the table. And Everton are level.

With the stability at the Albion, the backroom team and the support of Bloom, there's little incentive to jeopardize that mid-season.

As long as Potter's backed in the market, I can't see any reason why, remuneration aside, he'd move to any of those as things stand.

Moyes and Rodgers have had recent success, Nuno and Rafa have just been appointed. Nothing to worry about there.

When it comes to the very top jobs (e.g. Man City, Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea), one would understand a desire to move.

With the possible exception of United, it's extremely unlikely that any of the other 3 would come up mid-season.

Nothing to worry about here....for now at least.
