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

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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.

Correct.

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.

Undav

 

[Mike Small]

Played well tonight. Calamitous and wasteful first leg cost us. We're a different team with Mitoma and JP.

Adringra not at the races offensively.

Two 1-0 wins with Bart in goal.........

 

[Javeaseagull]

Well done men, another clean sheet. We’re learning.

He wants (needs) to be in Germany.

Sadly.

 

[Littlemo]

Well done men, another clean sheet. We’re learning.

A big positive against such a decent team in Roma.

 

[Affy]

lots to be proud of. We beat Roma. Fantastic. We beat Ajax, Marseille. Fantastic. We topped the ”group of death”. Shame we couldn’t take it further but what an experience.

 

[albionalba]

Are we on the positives yet? If so, at least Rangers are out and living up here that's good.

 

[Sussexscots]

Not 'The Great Escape'. Instead, 'A Bridge too Far'. Feels a little bit sad - a case of what might have been, however, can't fault the endeavour of tonight's performance.

Three clean sheets in four home. fixtures. Two in four away. Five wins from eight and a decent draw. All against sides with a solid European pedigree. For a team adjusting to European competition, that's pretty damn good.

I would love to see us back in European competition again next year.

Not lost at home in how many now?

The win adds to the coefficient that English clubs may get an extra place in Europe next season.

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.

You are a very strange lad. You're a f***ing dickhead too.

 

[Seagull58]

Hopefully a few less De Zerbi lickers after this game.

You should find another team to support. You're not suited to this one.

West Ham beating a German sode
Liverpool winning and qualifying
Villa winning and qualifying

Pretty much in the bag

Strange, very strange.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Strange, very strange.

Not strange at all when you rationalise it that the post was concocted by a sad person purely to get a reaction

 

[WATFORD zero]

When the usual attention seekers are this few, far between and desperate, then you know we've done well

West Ham beating a German sode

We're above Germany now I think - with more teams left in the competition?

 

[Boroseagull]

Well done all of you that stayed to the end and passed the 90 mins to cheer the team. You were loud and proud on TV. Sad so many 'fans' left up to 10 minutes early.
