[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AS Roma *** Official Match Thread ***

Also we haven't given away our gift a game goal yet either.

Whacking you on ignore, because you're a ****.

Anyone who is seriously disappointed needs to give their heads a big wobble.
This is our first foray into Europe.
Not only did we top our group, but we got probably the hardest draw in the knockout stage.
The 4 - 0 flattered Roma.
We have dominated them in the home leg, and would clearly been pushed to score 4...maybe with Mitoma and Pedro?
Who knows.
If someone had told me a year ago, that we'd be beating Roma at the Amex, I'd have pissed myself laughing.
For all the entitled lot on here....get a grip and soak up how far we've come.
Lose to Roma away, yet win at home....and still moaning?
Jeez.

Indeed - good post.

I would have liked to receive my free-drink though.

We’ve controlled the game and played well. Created a lot of decent chances but the final ball just hasn’t been there.

We lack quality in creating chances.

Burnt out like the garden fireworks I buy from Aldi.

Fun why it last lasted, gave ourselves too much to do in the first leg. Further highlights how much of a loss Pedro is.

Taking some positives, we will have learnt what we need to do differently next time, there will be a next time I'm sure. Lots of experience for the players. Lots of our youngsters experiencing Europe at an early age.
We can now focus on securing Europe for next season, with a much stronger team than we've had for months.

 

[Bodian]

Keeper again. I know it's late on, but he has been vital for them.

 

[Bridcutt]

Shame we're out of course but we gave it a good go! Had many chances this game but just not clinical enough. Needed our wingers (enciso and adingra) to do more in both games

 

[Hendrax]

Good effort lads, it wasn't to be. We've just beaten last years finalists at home. Now lets qualify again!

 

[The Fits]

It's been a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

As the game thread descends onto it's usual path, I am happy to say that I am extremely proud of our first foray into European football.
Oh, and we just beat Roma. Well done chaps

 

[boik]

Crowd sound great and supportive - unlike some on here.

 

[AlexBH]

Oh we had chances tonight. How gutted would we have been if we just needed one more goal

 

[OzMike]

Roma with a nice cushion just had to turn up.
We knick a goal back, they don't care as they are still in control.
Damage done in first leg where we should have been more cautious.
And we don't shoot anymore.

 

[Krafty]

We’ve beaten Roma!

And we’ve beaten every opponent we’ve faced.

Let’s try and qualify for Europe again

Hopefully a few less De Zerbi lickers after this game.

You just can't wait for things to go wrong, can you?

 

[andys320]

Great efort.
Not enough to win, shame.
27 years ago, it was Sidwell and Reinhelt, what a way we've come!
Be proud!!!!

 

[BBassic]

Seven or eight really good chances across two legs. What could have been.

But, what about what has been? Incredible journey. Nothing but pride.

 

[Marxo]

Well, I was really hoping for a miracle but I enjoyed the goal and the win. Now we climb the table.

Totally agree about Pedro. Goals, pace down the middle, direct, effective, from day one he gave something different.

Whilst the dumb set up and even dumber defending in Rome gave an insurmountable mountain to climb.

 

[Krafty]

The focus is now on the league.

I really want us to qualify for Europe again as we have a good chance of doing so.

Played lads it’s been a journey
