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

[BadFish]

As an aside, has Welbeck actually touched the ball this half?

Seems like the whole game has passed him by

Get Evan on for a run.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Bit of amateur lip reading on my part but it looked like Dunky said to Lamptey that he felt like he was going to be sick. Holding his stomach. Got some gel to get him to half time?

 

[AlbionBro]

silly from dunk that.

He is definitely grumpy tonight, playing in pain? Bring on Webster and trust our squad.

As an aside, has Welbeck actually touched the ball this half?

Unlikely since he's not playing.

Sorry what? Oh.

 

[portslade seagull]

What did he do? At the game and didn’t see it.

Tried to take a leaf out of Pedro's book using his arm

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Not too bad, Georginio is playing well.

 

[brighton_tom]

Playing well, apart from the mistake for their goal. Keep it going lads!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Poor match feel like those who fear penalties will have those fears realised.

 

[Mancgull]

Well he seems to do more and more covering for Veltman these days, that's for sure.

Minteh has been excellent in terms of his working back.

 

[Rdodge30]

Lamptey was all over Neto that half

I love the way Minteh gets back to defend at 60mph !!!

 

[Triggaaar]

Tried to take a leaf out of Pedro's book using his arm

It was nothing

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Big improvement on Forest, we are closing down much better

Much greater sense of urgency

On the plus side - Sanchez is shit at pens.
On the negative side - Bart is not good at pens.

 

[veuve]

Barts a decent keeper but that was a mistake due to a total lack of confidence .

 

[Guinness Boy]

I’ve been watching football all day and, despite the two goals, this is the worst live game by a long way. Birmingham v Newcastle was absolutely like a punch up between two working class cities. And this is absolutely like two middle class families tutting at each other in Costa.

Yes, there have been bookings but only because both sides look utterly incompetent.

 

[The Fits]

Pretty dull. Just want we wanted really.
Much better in midfield. Chelsea look a bit short on the bench here. Victory would be great for morale.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Playing well, apart from the mistake for their goal. Keep it going lads!

Well yes. And no. It’s as dull as ditchwater. Fair play to those who watch this stodgy fare week in week out.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

Much greater sense of urgency

You mean intensity.

I think we need another midfielder in there, O'Riley or Gomez. No point playing Welbeck if he's not in the game.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Last goal kick of the first half Sanchez took from well outside the goal area. Does the ref not know the rules?
