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

[Mike Small]

Baleba turning back there on his left foot. SOME ONE COACH IM TO USE HIS RIGHT FOOT. (Apologies for the capital letters but it does my head in). How can our 'coaches' not see this?

 

[Ethelwulf]

Good for them. Proving once again that being rich gets you what you want.

Unfortunately that’s the premier league for you . Won’t get a Leicester ever again

 

[Bodian]

Yikes. Bart living dangerously.

Didn't touch him though.

 

[Weststander]

Chelsea will be pushing at least top 4 next season

The biggest spend in world football history, they should be vying for the title.

 

[martin tyler]

Bart should have been there quicker but that is an appalling dive

 

[US Seagull]

I think I had us winning 3-2 on the score prediction.

There's still time...

 

[Bold Seagull]

I see the big 6 money men have got to you as well. Check in the mail?

Oh yeah loving the extra cash, I can buy you that ‘I’m an idiot’ hat you’re desperate to wear.

 

[nsclurker]

At least they didn't score from the iffy free-kick, so that's progress.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

We bought him as an LB, but nearly everyone agrees hes more of a LM

We bought Cucurella when he often played LW for Getafe, despite being very much a LB or LWB. Turned out to be a wide CB for us although granted that was partly Potter. I do think he got POTS for his LB play.

Agree Barco will need the right system and support but if we have Veltman or similar the other side then left can bomb on much like Estupinan did so well a year ago. Think it's very much the club plan. Tricky to see Barco and Lamptey in a back 4 though unless chasing a game.

 

[Krafty]

Summer break certainly came at the right time for us.

 

[US Seagull]

Another great ball in from Barco - mistimed by Gross

Welbeck missed it too.

 

[Reddleman]

You're worried about next season when we have our squad back and some new signings? Every Liverpool fan I speak to would have Milner back.

De Zerbi has already said March and Estupinan won’t be available for the start of next season. Ferguson may not be back either.

 

[US Seagull]

That was a clear kick out from James. Come on VAR

 

[Bodian]

De Zerbi has already said March and Estupinan won’t be available for the start of next season. Ferguson may not be back either.

What's actually up with Ferguson - what's his injury?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Off you pop

 

[US Seagull]

Still time for a Fati hatrick?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Clearest red

 

[Forster's Armband]

De Zerbi has already said March and Estupinan won’t be available for the start of next season. Ferguson may not be back either.

Ah ok. Let's give up on next season then...

 

[US Seagull]

Take that you f'ing thug

 

[Washie]

Not agreeing with that. RDZ looked pretty amazing when he had the players. Glasner did nothing when Olise was out.

They've only lost To Spurs City and Bournemouth since he's been in charge. Three of his first six games. I think he did a lot.
