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

Well I thought we would lose. But not 4-0.

Even worse is the Kid near the touchline getting Hazard's shirt!
WTF are they doing in there? Should be in the away end !

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Oh great, Brighton fans falling over themselves on live TV cos they got Hazard’s shirt. No wonder the players do the same thing. Embarassing.

Schelotto apart, a bad day all round.

Little kid with a sign asking for Hazards shirt in the Albion end. Father should do one

Didn’t realise that was the Albion end. Someone should give him a slap.

This site is going to be horrendous for the next few days. The usual suspects will fill their boots. The dull *****.

 

[Seagull58]

We gave it a go after going 2-o don but the "ref" made sure we didn't get a sniff of a comeback.

Look at all the deflections during the game. Look how many DON'T fall to us. Watch games against the supposed top six. Watch the deflections, that's what makes you a top side....luck.
Our players haven't gone from good to shit overnight. They've just come up against that stupid bitch lady luck

It's not just luck though. The better players have that little bit extra anticipation/speed/foresight - so when the ball does drop, it looks as though it has fortunately dropped to them, but quite often it's that they are in the right place. And pressing teams tend to get more second balls purely because they're running on to them. And so on.

If we keep playing like that against the teams below the top six i think we will be okay.

*sigh*

That's a shame. 4-0 feels harsh and, to be honest, I've seldom felt as good about such a defeat. We were never expecting points from that but there's definitely an idea going forward about... er... going forward. If we play like that against our coming opponents then the goals should come. However, we played well at Old Trafford and that heralded the beginning of this barren spell. The trick will be learning from this and kicking on. Onwards!

 

[Motogull]

That's an unfair scoreline. Heads up, players gave it plenty.

You swine Hazard, giving your shirt to a kid. That's a lovely gesture.

Come off it. You can't have deflections constantly falling to you in the opposition box if you're rarely in it.

Sad state of affairs. Should have been a Chelsea lad who got that shirt .
That boy should have been asking for schelettos top

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Reasoned response. Swansea we are better than, but beyond that, pray tell?

When I've sauteed myself in alcohol and I've feel hard done by, I will call anybody on their negativity. It's a hard 38 games in the first season, get behind the team stop being a ****

 

[Dick Head]

Scoreline aside I enjoyed that. Was Hughton trying the formation out ahead of the new boy starting?

I am, I'll be cheering the whole way, just on a bit of a downer after these few weeks

 

[neilbard]

Schelotto our MOM by a country mile! I will be giving him a big fat 10 tomorrow in the player ratings, awesome today.

Got to agree with this. Penalty shouts and free kicks not given when on the ball contact evident, could have made a massive difference. C***.

Just about to go and do the same! Happy drinking

Feel like banging your head against the wall don't you? Play shite against WBA but raise it significantly against Chelsea. Wrong way round.

If the kid was in the away section I agree.
F***ing plastic Dad got him in there!

You could be right chap.
Its good to get these practice game's in, to try out different formations
