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

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Baleba already in the libero role.

 

[Washie]

Don’t really need pace with the way we play, not really a counter attacking team

That's exactly what we are. We pull teams on to us then break through that press. Its a faux counter

What? Veltman is suspended for marseille. He has two yellows. Same way hecke was.

Van Hecke didn’t play in Athens and Veltman only got one yellow card.

Yellow card bans also don’t carry over into domestic or European games.

Mitoma has 3 YC this season so the closest to a one match ban until game 19.

 

[London Irish]

Baleba already in the libero role.

I was wondering where he was playing, we look 3 at back today

Disagree, we play through the thirds as the possession stats suggest, gradually breaking teams down. In no way are we a counter attacking team

Its why Dunk stands on the ball and we just knock it side to side in defence. Its why we struggle with defensive teams

Yes, I know, so we are a possession based team. Not a counter attacking one

You can be both, as i said, we are a faux counter. We create the "counter attack"

 

[Albion my Albion]

The weather should clear, the sun will shine, we will score many many goals.

that was a good coffee!

The Frankfurt weather was certainly awful at the Eintracht/Bayern match. Kane missed a goal by inches. 3 - 0 Frankfurt now.

 

[nsclurker]

More importantly, where are the Burnley fans? That's embarrassing for a Saturday 3pm KO...

 

[London Irish]

We’ve started crap. Gotta be honest

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

Baleba looks as if he’s got no idea where he’s supposed to be playing. All a bit clunky so far

 

[maltaseagull]

Are we still warming up?
Awful so far.

 

[BevBHA]

0-1 written all over it

 

[maltaseagull]

Are we still warming up?
Awful so far can't keep the ball and so sluggish.
This is Burnley ffs. Not City.

 

[Washie]

0-1 written all over it

It's been 10 mins, we were all over Chelsea at this stage last week. Then they got into the game and we were second best all game

 

[tedebear]

Wakey wakey

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Too many changes?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Mitoma with 3 yellow cards. Are the Nipponese usually this prone to cautions or is it a racist thing with the referees?

 

[Bodian]

Are we still warming up?
Awful so far.

Just waiting for Burnley to score. We don't start playing till we're a goal down!
