[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

[Chicken Run]

I’m sure we play better when there’s less of a gap between games!

To long fannying around at lancing

 

[dadams2k11]

Why we disappointed? We knew this was gonna happen, it was written in the stars.

 

[Ethelwulf]

I just can’t even go into how anti football that palace performance is. It’s literally laughable to the point where even if they win it actually makes the defeat feel better. It’s so anti-football - and one spawny goal from their one attack. It’s a wall of defence and now the time wasting etc will get worse. It’s literally embarrassing for them!

I honestly feel for the lads - playing against a wall - we are devoid of ideas but it is so so hard against this turgid shite. I swear down if we lose I’ll be grateful we play how we do. **** it draw or win I’ll feel the same. Anti football negative shite - embarrassing!

Playing like we did Wolves and Spurs away under CH.

This is Sheffield United and WBA all over again, except worse. We have not looked threatening in any way and on that first half I don’t see a way back, just another counter attacking goal against. Mugged by Palace yet again

Gutted doesn’t cover it

 

[Change at Barnham]

Lallana has to come on soon, but I'm not too sure for who.
We don't want to make three substitutions too early in case Lallana breaks down.

 

[Seasidesage]

We've been very poor upfront. I expect to see Welbeck sooner rather than later...

 

[Muzzy]

The difference is that we are not capable of scoring the goal that they have tonight. We don’t have players that could firstly, create that type of chance, and then secondly, score it.

A very lacklustre first half performance that showed how poor we are at breaking down a well organised defence.

 

[The Fits]

I can't remember a poorer game from Biss this season..

I agree! but will we get away with having 13 players on the pitch? surely the Ref will notice?

No, it would still be 11 as I’d take off Burn and Maupay who were so poor in that half that we may as well have been playing with 9 anyway.

 

[White Fan man]

You need a forward who can score.

 

[cheesy77]

Burn shocker, again.

Maupay is such a frustrating player this season, constantly making the wrong choice in and around the penalty area

Ahh well. It's only Football. Not the end of the world.

 

[The Wizard]

Terrible quality but I’m sorry wtf is Ben white doing? That’s shocking, shocking defending, even an amateur player knows you don’t run back with the striker between you and the ball, what was he thinking? The geezer didn’t even need to make w run across the defender because White did it for him

 

[Dave the OAP]

Am I allowed to say that bissouma is ****ing aweful tonight. As is trossard and our shooting.

Hope we win, but **** it, Big build will be more exciting than this.

Head up Icy, we’re not out of this.

 

[jcdenton08]

I'd take off Burn for Lallana, play a back four and put Alzate at left back.

 

[figgis]

Good old Potter. He's doing a great job according to the Poll its a shame he's as much use as a one legged man in a arse kicking competition.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Good spot from Carragher, that was poor from Dunk as well as Burn for the goal.

Not sure White covered himself in glory, a bit light weight tbf.

 

[Weststander]

One positive - glad I’m not there watching the powder puff weak football, on a cold night.

Maupay, Trossard, Gross and Alzate seem little men being calmly bullied off of the ball by physically stronger giants.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

How is Alzate taking a wide left position instead of Tau? Alzate is a CM

And his left foot is only for standing on
