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

[Bodian]

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

Liverpool on Sunday. Couldn't be a harder next game!

 

[Mancgull]

Bloom looks like he is fuming. Wonder if he'll do a 'Gus' on Roberto at the end of the season. Seems to have taken us as far as he can. This one is on him.

He wasn’t looking as if he was fuming at all.
Players gave everything.
Throughout the two games we’ve created loads of chances.
Gave it away with poor defending in the first leg but you should be nothing but proud of the way we played tonight.

 

[Rdodge30]

After the away leg all I wanted tonight was for us to play well enough that the fans applauded the team off the pitch

 

[Blues Guitarist]

In our first season in Europe we beat Roma, Marseille, AEK Athens and Ajax twice. Awesome.

 

[Bodian]

Listen to that crowd.

 

[Lindfield23]

Well done lads - did yourselves proud tonight

 

[The Fits]

In our first season in Europe we beat Roma, Marseille, AEK Athens and Ajax twice. Awesome.

Its incredible

 

[hart's shirt]

Win the battle, but lose the war. Ah well, we gave it a real go.

Still, 5 wins out of 8 games in our first European campaign is impressive.

Doing the double over Ajax and winning our group with Marseilles and Athens in it will still be remembered in years to come.

So much to be proud of with the Albion at the moment.

This isn't the end, but more the end of the beginning.

Up the Albion.

 

[Gianluca Fidene]

This time Brighton will not send any appeal to UEFA for the disallowed Azmoun goal?

I m at the stadium. Wonderful city.
Beautiful stadium.
But maybe the worst stadium cheering in all my Roma away match in England.

See you in Europe in the next years.
Bye bye

Not this Sunday. Bit of a wait til next game

 

[brighton_tom]

Nothing but proud. Up the Albion!

 

[Bodian]

Not this Sunday. Bit of a wait til next game

Oh yes - so there is.

 

[jcdenton08]

Gave it a good go, just a naive first leg performance and a difference in quality (for example Lukaku/Dybala vs Welbeck/Ferguson. Or Svilar vs Verbruggen, etc).

Proud of the lads tonight. Let’s see if we can scrape enough points for another go next year, and a big rebuild and investment in the squad in the summer.

 

[Krafty]

I will never stop loving this club.

An incredible journey that I’m glad to be a part of.

 

[GJN1]

Pedro and Mitoma and we win that tie.

 

[Mancgull]

After the away leg all I wanted tonight was for us to play well enough that the fans applauded the team off the pitch

Me too. We achieved that and had loads of half chances.
We simply had too much to do in the second leg.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I know he scored tonight.

But replace welbeck with a better finisher and it's a completely different over the two legs

It's clearly not all on him as the defence didn't turn up in Rome, but he takes a couple of the very good chances in rome and tonight would have been different.

 

[The Fits]

Pedro and Mitoma and we win that tie.

Plus March and we get very, very far in it.
It's a real shame.
Feel so much for Solly missing out on all these nights.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

We had a good go at them.

I'll still maintain, that had we had the extra quality of Mitoma and Pedro in attacking areas, we'd have put away enough of the 73 chances we created over the two legs to not have to worry about how many we conceded.

I'm half frustrated / half very proud

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Crowd sound great and supportive - unlike some on here.

A game of football is there to be analysed and constructive comment offered. Our lack of quality around the box is obvious and it showed over two legs. We have only scored 3 goals in the last 6 games and it's resulted in being out of the FAC and Europe.
