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

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

I don’t think Dahoud will be with us for long. I’m excited about Baleba and Gilmour as our long term first choice midfield

 

[vegster]

I'm already taking bets on how many Burnley players go down with "head injuries" in the second half...

Going to be a long and miserable second half unless we can equalise early....Warren said as much on BBC Radio Sussex. Like to think that under Kompany it might change but he still has Rodriguez in the starters.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Trouble is, 45 minutes against a deep lying, time wasting side, might not be enough.

 

[BevBHA]

I absolutely love the bloke, but it feels like RDZ is trying to hard. Would be better to go the other way with a mix and match squad imo. Back to our identity and what we’ve worked on so long rather than trying to change it along with the personnel

 

[Littlemo]

I really liked the look of Dahoud and even defended his red, but he should be nowhere near the team. He’s not up the pace of this league, just a total passenger. I’d rather have Hinsh or Hincey.

It’s a vicious circle though, because without game time he isn't going to get up to speed with the league or the style RDZ plays. Feel a bit sorry for Dahoud, he seems to be having a tough time.

 

[Triggaaar]

Yep big exaggeration - but pissed off we are creating chances and not finishing, such a waste - looking lacklustre and some careless passing

We have had some careless passing and several occasion where players haven't been on the same wavelength. I'm also pissed off we're losing, but reading the shit on here is making it worse. Even against lower teams there's guarantee of a win and the game clearly hasn't gone our way.

- Verbruggen probably should have been on the end of that goal (but perhaps deflected by Milner)

There's no perhaps, it was deflected, which means Bart shouldn't have been on the end of it.

- and pissed off we went into the break a goal down. Now we can expect Burnley to sit deep and try and get a cushion with a counter. We have made the second half much harder than it should have been.

Yeah, we should make sure we're not unlucky in the future.

Very poor defending and keeping again. Lucky not to go 2 down.

I don't see how thats poor goalkeeping.

 

[fruitnveg]

We need to do something about these performances against relegation fodder teams. Its not like they're even really sitting off us so why we can't score is troubling

 

[DJ NOBO]

If all things were equal - and possession stats were king - that’s a fair response.
But against shite like Burnley, when we have all the possession and dont score, they tend to nick one.
Loads of examples of this.
It was Absolutely predictable they’d get one.

 

[The Fits]

our CB’s ARE good. Why can’t we defend?

 

[Washie]

our CB’s ARE good. Why can’t we defend?

Because our tactics leave them exposed and we have two midfielders as LB and RB

 

[Bodian]

Keep a clean sheet against Burnley.

Then fail to score against Arsenal.

More Brighton-like to do it the other way round I think!

Looking this way just at the moment!

 

[BHA Fan93]

Having seen the goal again on Twitter poor defending shouldn’t be getting a shot away but Bart has got to do so much better than he did unfortunately.

 

[Dibdab]

Need to get Milner off too. We look half the side when he’s playing instead of Veltman.

i suggest you put the match day thread on ignore then - if Brighton are playing poorly people will say so.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Not looking good

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Yeah, we should make sure we're not unlucky in the future.

 

[Ethelwulf]

All this thing about bad luck is bullshit

 

[Weststander]

Our centre midfield is sh1t.
