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

[timbha]

I hope we don’t regret Welbeck’s miss to make it 3-1. Looked a bit casual

Can’t imagine it being too many more matches before Colwill takes over from Webster in the back three

Hope so

Looked like Dunk to me on TV but our defence looks unusually fragile.

Leicester are weak at the back but have decent goalscorers , Maddison well out of form thankfully , my score prediction.....5 - 4.

 

[Mike Small]

Great first half, must be one of the best of the season so far. But as we've seen, they are dangerous and have quality up front.

3 points looks likely but you never know

We were much better first half V Utd and both half V Leeds imo. Dunk and Webster not great at the back.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I'm just listening, not watching so not making any judgement myself. Cantor clearly thought Webster's bad pass that lead to Leicester having that chance was to blame.

Agreed. It was the misplaced pass that led to the goal. Totally self inflicted carelessness.

 

[Bridcutt]

Echo most posts here, really should win this.

 

[oldboyroy]

Good entertainment but bad goals to concede and they could of had a 3rd. We're not at the races defensively. This is where we're missing Cucu?

What a strange game

what an odd half of football.

Don't think it's been a great game of football - just quite a lot of goals! Seems to be a lack of bite, coherence - then suddenly we put a great passing move together.

You're right - very odd and very strange half. Surprisingly uncompelling.

 

[Weststander]

Rodgers has spotted acres of space in and around an isolated Dunk, plus their forwards have him and Webster on toast for pace.

Very happy to counter, no press at all.

I’d like to see GP change it to a conventional back 4, thus closing the distances, and we need a CM always present as insurance.

 

[aolstudios]

That about sums it up. What's going on? Why are we so crap at the back all of a sudden?

Fulham game was the same. It's not ' the back', it's our CB's

sort of like watching a load of fast moving fish.

 

[Brok]

Come on lads, we need at least 3 points this afternoon.

Yep, should have made more of this chance.

 

[oldboyroy]

Started season so well defensively but now we're conceding like confetti

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Go four at the back, perv for tross and and...oh I don't know!

 

[The Fits]

GP will be furious and will need to change things. First game we’ve looked really exposed through the middle and second game the defence has looked very out of sorts. It’s a strong bench so perhaps we need to make some bold changes fairly quickly as Leicester are shocking and there’s very few gimmees in this league. Also first game that’s highlighted the importance of a specialist DM in certain matches.
March excellent.

 

[Weststander]

Too much room for through balls with our back three. They’ve cantered through our back line a few times.

This.

 

[Curious Orange]

I'd imagine Rodgers will be encouraging the punt down the middle second half... and Potter will be planning to nullify it.

 

[Mackenzie]

GP has got some serious sorting out to do at half time, the defence looks really fragile. The crowd seem a bit listless, the lads really need a bit of encouragement today.

We can still win this.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

They are so bad defensively. We just need to take our chances and put them to bed. Shout out to Moises and Enock who seem to be working well together cc losing down the spaces and intercepting.

We can win this if we cut out the silly mistakes
