[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bodian]

How many times will cher her away with it??

He's pulled Pedro back and stopped a break three times I think. Yellow now though!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Gilmour might be better than Ali Mac…

 

[GoingUp]

Given them too much freedom in the CM again.

 

[larus]

Gilmour might be better than Ali Mac…

Yep, he’s getting better. So creative with his passing.

 

[Bodian]

Did we lose the toss - just realised we're playing the 'wrong way'.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Well done boys, good half.

 

[Bridcutt]

Great half. Have a feeling the ref has a shocker in him second half though

 

[The Fits]

Gilmour and JP, two 21 year olds, absolutely dominating a world class central midfield. Wonderful stuff.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

To a man we are bang up for this
Last week reminded me of our performance against Everton this reminds me of our next game away to Arsenal

I thought our next away was manure?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Very good half

A good refereeing performance as well, i cannot remember the last time I thought that

He'll likely f*** it up

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I think he's letting them get away with a lot of niggly tackles and breaking up play.

 

[Chicken Run]

Gilmour might be better than Ali Mac…

Yep he’s getting better and better, another great signing

 

[um bongo molongo]

Did we lose the toss - just realised we're playing the 'wrong way'.

Yes. I noticed they made us turn around. Good attention to detail from Smug Eddie in fairness

 

[larus]

I think we look better with Van Hecke and Dunk at the back.

 

[Mustafa II]

Good first half. Nervy first few minutes, especially for Estpinan, as they were pressing us so hard... but once we got past that, we looked like ourselves, and dominated.

We deserve to be winning, we've been the better side. They have looked dangerous at times though.

Joao Pedro is looking very good, a constant outlet, very strong.

Gilmour is just immense as a maestro in the middle. His passing range is incredible. Becoming a really important player already.

Verbruggen looking confident and able as our new number one.

Some moments of quality from Mitoma as usual.

Van Hecke looking solid and confident.

Veltman looking like an improvement on Milner at RB.

All in all, we can be pleased with the first half. Long way to go though. Newcastle are a strong side and very dangerous - next goal changes everything.

 

[Zeberdi]

Fantastic half from Brighton - Mitoma, Gilmour and Ferguson playing particularly well. We need to be careful on keeping possession in the final third but we have kept Toons on the back foot after some tense opening few minutes.

Im warming to Verbruggen too - he looks more confident with Veltman and Van Hecke in front of him.

 

[METALMICKY]

Gilmour looking superb but Dunky looking distinctly shakey!

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Also. It feels great to have a proper right back in. So happy to have veltman playing

 

[Coxovi]

Another one here for Gilmore, made the goal and love his passing. From Chelsea

 

[Littlemo]

Yep he’s getting better and better, another great signing
