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

[junior]

Connolly failed to convert chances. Ferguson isn't even getting the chances at the moment

That's not true. He was just in the penalty box and all he had to do was leather the ball towards the goal as hard as possible. But instead he just paused, clueless as to what to do, and the Roma player came and took it off him and that was the attack over.

 

[Reddleman]

The same game he always watches with rose tinted specs on .

Thanks, didn’t realise he was one of those.

 

[Husty]

Best thing that we’ve done in about 10 minutes is Igor actually just trying to have a shot…

 

[US Seagull]

"It's a lovely ball to Gilmour" which we then promptly pass backwards

This is what frustrates me. And this isn't to single out WBG, it just happened to be exactly what the commentator said

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

More than enough good chances to have got 4 tonight

 

[armchairclubber]

We've had enough good chances to have scored more than 4 goals. Playing decent enough and tactics about right imo.
Conceding would mean game over so requires some caution.
Just the finishing letting us down.

 

[North East Seagull]

Just a very typical performance in my view, we’ve all seen loads editions of this.

 

[Reddleman]

Would love Ferguson to get one, if for the league form if nothing else

 

[HeaviestTed]

1 goal every 5 mins sounds doable?

 

[GJN1]

How much are we missing Mitoma?

 

[Ethelwulf]

More than enough good chances to have got 4 tonight

That’s pushing the boat a bit

 

[Bry Nylon]

We blew this tie 7 days ago, sadly. If we’d come away from Rome 0-2, then who knows?

But playing that game like it was a one-off ‘winner takes all’ tie has cost us. A bit more pragmatism and I reckon we’d have had decent enough chance over two legs.

 

[GoingUp]

he's a target man. we dont play to his strengths.

He's not just a target man though, think he gets labeled that because of his side. He's just as good running onto balls.

I dont' like him having to track back like Harry Kane into midfield.

 

[Husty]

I don’t understand why Baleba isn’t being given minutes here. Couldn’t possibly offer less than Gilmour.

 

[BevBHA]

Adingra simply had to score that header

 

[Mo Gosfield]

We even try and take second touches from keeper rebounds. Roma don't even have to change their shape. They just sit in and wait for us to overplay and lose it. We are so so easy to play against.

 

[junior]

What does Fati do? Complete waste of wages. Get one of our youngsters on who can learn something from getting minutes.

 

[Bodian]

A shot from distance from Igor, and it causes problems. We need to do more of that.

 

[GoingUp]

Just seen this

 

[BevBHA]

Weird game. We’re playing like we think we’re winning the tie. No urgency
