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

[portlock seagull]

Really good half - they’ve barely had a kick. Still a one man outfit after all these years

What on earth? We should be 2 nil up, at least! Have you not seen the last few home ties against Palace? It’s Groundhog Day. Which means we’re bang on track to LOSE and yet you’re pleased with that 1st half performance?!!!

 

[pb21]

One of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen.
Pure shite.
Why the fk wasn’t Maupay taking that?
Ludicrous.

The utter scumbags had just lobbed a flare at him

 

[Bridcutt]

Great performance! Unfortunately Gross has had a poor game. Hope Lamptey comes on for him - also need to see more of Trossard

 

[London Irish]

I’m not going with the pelters for Pascal - not his biggest fan but he’s been part of a midfield that has cleaned out Palace. Let’s chill we got this

 

[oldboyroy]

Well well well yet again we should be out of sight but can't score. Bloody terrible pen by Gross. Palace can't get any worse so it's gonna be a tough 2nd half

 

[WhingForPresident]

You lot need to chill out, this isn't 2020 Brighton we're watching. Were win.

This.

Lallana & Groß have controlled the match.

 

[andys320]

Pascal Gross, perhaps the best value sigining we have ever made, BUT his time has come, so slow, doesn't fit with the quick football everyone else is playing.

Sorry Pascal, times up!

 

[Solid at the back]

Such a lazy penalty. Couldn't be arsed to run in for the rebound.

Why the feck did the ref not sort the flare out before allowing the penalty?!

I thought the same.

PLEASE take Gross off at half time! We’ve been brilliant with the exception of him, he’s all over the place. His positioning then for that Palace attack was laughable. He’s just not good enough, cannot for the life of me work out why he started. It’s like Stephens last season or two with us, almost picked out of goodwill.

Lallana, Cucurella, Veltman on the other hand - outstanding!

Saw that as well. Absolute liability when their left back went forward. Standing around like it was a senior's game. He's a liablity defensively and needs to come off NOW.

Brave the half time queue and have a beer fella

 

[clapham_gull]

Meanwhile on the Palace board they are getting absolutely "murdered".

 

[GT49er]

Can we get Gross off please??

Time for him to go to a nice footballing retirement home now - The Eredivisie should do .....................................

 

[Seagull58]

The Palace breakaway goal is virtually inevitable now.

Agree. A pathetic telegraphed penalty, 9/10 NSC members wouldve taken a better one. Maupay goal ruled out (imho he didnt have control of the ball and patted it into a legitimately challenging Maupay). Palace without one shot on goal and look garbage.

this has 1-0 Palace written all over it.

This. Palace rightly laughing again at our woeful security. If I was a Palace fan, I’d never bother buying a ticket, load my pockets with ordinance to lob about, take a massive flag down with a giant STEEL poll for it and just walk in on the night…EXACTLY AS THEY’VE DONE TONIGHT!!!

 

[kevo]

Would he have scored if the flare hadn't been thrown? It obviously distracted him.

Hardly seen Gallagher and Hughes.

Brilliant football that, bar the penalty. Can't remember a more entertaining half in a long time! We've got this!
