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

[GrizzlingGammon]

What a terribley inconsistent ref.

 

[Weststander]

Willian ….. mark him ffs.

 

[macbeth]

need another one here, can see fulham scoring at some point

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

These might be the most negative commentators I’ve ever heard! (not you guys, but the grumpypants on Premier 4).

Has anyone done anything right this game, besides Ferguson’s goal?

It's quite funny. Blast a shot over the bar... It should have been less power more accuracy. Accurate shot on target saved, it should have been blasted at goal.

 

[Fergus the Schnoodle]

Is Dahoud on the pitch?

 

[US Seagull]

Fair point - but not a fan of rolling around...

Sure, but early in the game when still 0-0. Common sense should suggest he's not looking to time waste

 

[US Seagull]

Decent first half. We've made Fulham look like Ajax!

 

[perth seagull]

Comfortable first half. Would be nice if we could get our first clean sheet of the season today.

 

[Weststander]

If Gross and Lallana sharpen up on playing in Evan, he could have a hatful. He looks quality again.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Seconded with the commentators, living in the past with tactics...and how is paulinha still on the pitch!!

 

[Bodian]

Not time-wasting - but bringing the incident to the attention of the ref. Not that it worked.

Another poor weekend for VAR. Didn't overturn the penalty against Wolves, and misses the most blatant red card you'll see all year.

He seems to have got his energy back.

Is Dahoud on the pitch?

Person behind me seems to think Dahoud has had his best game for us, not sure why as Dahoud has been involved much as usual.

 

[oldboyroy]

Good 1st half, only 1 up is the disappointing part. Fulham have to improve 2nd half.

 

[Mustafa II]

Good first half. By far the better team, as per every stat and the scoreline. Look like a bona fide top 6 team at times, particularly on the build up, but could have done better with some of the final actions.

Baleba really starting to impose himself, good first half for him, looks dangerous going forward unlike Caicedo.

Webster having a good game - some very sharp defensive actions.

Ferguson is such a proper striker, always thinking about scoring, and what a finish that was.

The game is far from over, but Fulham have been poor so far. Expect they'll improve in the 2nd half, but that might work in our favour if they over commit.

Re the commentating... It's just what I was thinking. So irritating.

At one moment it's 'They need to take a bit of pace off the ball when they shoot' and the next it's 'Ferguson should have hit that harder'!
It's probably the worst commentating I've heard in the last year.

I've got Garry Birtles on mine. He knows everything about everything.

Disagree. Dahoud has done lots of the ugly work today and done it well.

 

[Weststander]

I think he’s been fine, good view of his game from the NS. Mopping up, short sharp passes with Dunk or other creators.

 

[AlexBH]

So far so good, next goal is vital. Few times Fulham have got in behind us down the wings, need to tighten up at the back.
