[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[Icy Gull]

GP makes blunders, we should be open and not blindly concur because we play prettier football than the 2018/19 dirge.

Mac Allister off - an awful call, with Lallana he creates and drives us forward.

Alzate - other than a deflected goal, he has no form in any position.

Trossard - that was a 2/10 performance, but kept on.

Jahanbakhsh - one of the worst Albion EPL players, yet we keep seeing the bloke.

I am in no way suggesting that GP is the Messiah but he has my full support. I understand why some want him out, our last three results have been awful. I can’t think of any available manager I’d prefer to be managing us

Rant away, I won’t argue with you, we are in trouble

 

[Gun shot]

That Sanchez flap was Kuipers-like. At least we used to outscore the opposition in those days. I hope it doesn't shatter Bobby's confidence.

With a young keeper, you get that. Plenty of credit in the bank. But the rest of them? Terrible.

 

[kevo]

Big Bobby was going to make a mistake sooner or later. It happens. Just our luck it was two mins from time. Trossard and Biss well off it today.

The pundits .... who?

Why would they want Mac Allister replaced in a winning team that had outplayed LCFC in the first half.

Mac was decent, Trossard had a shocker in both halves.

I’ve not called for Alzate. I genuinely cannot remember a big NSC push for Alzate in the last week or so? Has there been one?

Agree. Honestly can't imagine why anyone would've called for MacA to be pulled at h.t.

 

[southstandandy]

On the positive side we only need 4 wins and still have 11 games to go.

 

[Albion Dan]

Agree. Honestly can't imagine why anyone would've called for MacA to be pulled at h.t.

No one did. That’s pure fantasy from whoever posted that.

 

[lawros left foot]

Weird I thought it was one of Maupays better games. Agree with the other two and would add Biss who has dropped off in the last few games

Maupay was pressing their defence all game, one of the reasons that we faded so badly in the latter part of the second half was Welbeck just doesn’t press.

I still want GP to succeed.

But I’m so frustrated with:
- A lack of a plan B eg a resilient strategy once we have a lead. Plus the Jahanbakhsh obsession .... why?
- A real lack of quality and pace in our squad. It’s killed CH and GP in their tracks. 9 EPL transfer windows. TB must sometimes question the work of those involved.

It’s killing us. If the pace and guile of that ££££ (wages and fees) Fulham front 5 can get a few more wins, we will likely drop. Costing TB untold losses.

Tough to take but , we played well and got nothing , if Netflix are thinking about making a football film they could do worse than making one about our season so far , unbelievable Geoff.

Just felt we needed Maupay to hold it up better and take did pressure off the ball continuously coming back. Gets brushed off the ball far to easily, wish he would just do the basics well, thought Trossard had a similar performance.

No one would believe it.

What’s your reasoning for this indicating a lack of intelligence?
And sacrifice a 5 year contract pay out? That’s not a very intelligent thing to say frankly.

Lack of intelligence?
I think he knows that although he's out of his depth he's pretty safe in his position due to the remaining years on his contract.
I'd expect him to negotiate a nice payoff prior to leaving if his resignation was accepted, before moving on to his next project.

My previous comments were perfectly reasonable things to say.
Maybe you just misunderstood what I was saying.

 

[Weststander]

A pundit, apparently.

Still waiting to find out who.

 

[vagabond]

Agree. Honestly can't imagine why anyone would've called for MacA to be pulled at h.t.

Didn’t he get hit in the face by an elbow? Possibly something to do with it.

Maupay is better off the ball than he is on it.

It was Maupay‘a pressing that kept us on the front foot tonight. As soon as he was replaced by Welbeck, we started to give ground.
It was the wrong substitutions, at the wrong time.
I agree about Trossard tho, he wasn’t good tonight, should have been hooked at halftime.

This is what you said :

If Potter is the intelligent man he's purported to be I expect him to offer Tony his resignation soon

Just a weird comment I genuinely want to understand. So if he doesn’t offer his resignation, he’s stupid?

Mac was very good, but as with their goal, they were coming through the middle a little too easy. You can afford one or two making risky creative passes but losing possession, but you can’t have 4 or 5 and we definitely had Lallana, Trossard, MacA, Gross and Maupay 2nd half giving the ball up cheaply.

Trossard - poor. Would have taken him off on 60mins. But I did wonder who I’d bring on?

Not in the last week, but generally there has been a feeling of why is Alzate not getting more game time.

You bring on Modor for Trossard.
