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

[zefarelly]

I mean, it looks like a decent mid table team without a lot of their best players Vs the best team in the league.

Exactly . . . . They have £50m players, we have £5m players

we have better but they're missing.

both goals have had a whiff of fortune, but if you don't shoot . . . .

I hope BobDZ goes radical at half time, it's a free hit, and we could learn/gain something from this yet.

 

[Swansman]

Billy is a positive imo. Doing well in there.

 

[Littlemo]

I know the result is poor but I don’t think we’ve been awful. I’ve seen Arsenal do worse to teams with their first choice 11 out there.

Bring the kids on!

Gilmour is just not making himself available in the same confident manner than Caicedo does. Having said that, Arsenal are giving us no time in midfield.

Think Gilmours done ok but him and Gross up against it. defensively we’ve been exposed. Early goal was a killer. Shown nothing up front. Give Ferguson a go 2nd half.

Quite. There is a reason that it’d take something in the region of 150m to prize away the 2 players that are unavailable for us today. Sort of glad it’s against the best team in the league and not the lower-table fodder that we’d expect to be beating at home these days.

RDB at half time giving our players an ear bashing

Roberto de Bee?

Arse could go down to 10 men at the current rate of waving . . . . . That'll be 0-3 then

 

[Worried Man Blues]

De Zerbi vs Arteta, whack him RDZ!!

 

[Littlemo]

Yes it did. I hope Lamptey isn't singled out for the goal - as one more touch would have seen him clear himself. Unlucky more than anything else.

I think we are going to have to be kind with the players coming in, they are going to make some mistakes but they are doing a lot of good stuff too.

Yeah he can't do any worse, basically like playing with ten men out there.

 

[The Fits]

What it does highlight though is that we could do with a bit more strength in depth.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Trossard has downed tools. Awful since the World Cup.

I really think he doesn’t get on with RDZ. Always been a bit sulky

We clearly haven't been awful, but we have been awfully lacking. But this is a very good Arsenal side.

 

[chrisg]

we look like we are playing without a striker ….. oh hang on.

 

[Swansman]

Well, ok performance imo. What you can expect, basically.

Still think there is a 5% chance of getting a point and hope the boys can get that.
Otherwise, its ok to lose this one... just on to slaughter Everton.

Got to sod off to a New Years Eve party now but good luck and happy new year!
