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

[Motogull]

Conceding just before HT.

 

[vagabond]

All these people saying Ryan should save that are being absolutely ridiculous. No keeper is shopping that. The blame is squarely on whoever let him get a free header when he’s there biggest threat.

Well he could save a couple.

I mean, it’s not unreasonable... he’s our first choice keeper. They are meant to make saves sometimes you know.

 

[Bedsex]

Ward-Prowse total cock.

Right in front of me

Agreed, what was the point in that?

 

[GT49er]

A top 6 keeper would have got a hand to it, sadly we cannot afford them. The defending was poor again from a set piece

A top six keeper? I'm more thinking Sanchez.

 

[Gabbafella]

Poor marking from the corner and Ryan probably should've got to that, other than that it's been a decent half. Bissouma is unplayable at times, so commanding. Größ is playing well, Welbeck looks decent again, pretty solid at the back apart from the goal. Lamptey needs to get involved more and Connolly I feel just needs a goal to settle himself, he gets in good positions, just needs to use it better.
Fancy us to win this, saints look good at times but they're easily beatable.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Ward-Prowse is a proper snidey little prick. Needs a smack.

 

[Pevenseagull]

There was some pretty detailed analysis on here a week or two back that should that corners lumped onto a big lad attacking the the penalty spot simply don't get goals.

...so that one doesn't count

 

[willalbion]

He’s been very poor tonight. Whoever he is...

Must have missed it, what did Ward-Prowse do?

 

[The Fits]

We can definitely play better than that. We miss Lallana massively. His guile in the opposition half is vital.
We really don't like playing at home.

 

[R. Slicker]

So people are saying that Ryan should be saving an unstoppable header from 10 yards. OK then.

 

[drew]

if you were a referee and you thought it wasnt deliberate under the old rules it isnt a penalty because it had to be deliberate.

His hand is in an unnatural position and moves, unintentionally, towards the ball. That's always been a penalty. Well when I say always, from when I can remember which is about 50 years.

 

[Wardy's twin]

thought connolly was doing ok and linking up (or trying to) with Wellbeck his 'cross' wins the penalty. Gross had three shots, the penalty, the one he skied and the early one where he didn't shoot when he had the opportunity and then cross was cut out. Maupay got slaughtered on this forum for that sort of play.

At the moment we have looked pretty decent.

As regard Dunk's header yes he should have done better but surely he was fouled as he ran through

 

[Billy the Fish]

He looked tiny diving for that. Probably harsh I know. A goalie like Pope would have saved it. Ryan dives like he knows he’s not going to save it.

Agree. He had no chance because he's not big enough to reach that far. A taller keeper saves that.

 

[Mike Small]

I'd imagine they're concentrating as much as they can!



Agree, I feel like the extra option 15 yards deeper will help beat the press

That’s my point Billy Simples. I didn’t think they were concentrating enough.

It wasn’t ten yards more like 15

Time for a lower basic and save bonus?

That old chestnut, you can't score from set pieces
Well how many do we concede?!

Celebrated in front of the NS, like he had scored

 

[Palacefinder General]

Better recruitment would improve the finishing.

We recruit within our budget, it’s less about ‘better recruitment’ and more about what we can/are willing to pay.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Gross is utterly wasted at 10. He either plays deeper or not at all. He doesn't have the pace for it.
Connolly only really excels in games that are open ATM, still has so much to learn.
Some players have been really excellent. Biss is clearly one of the best players in the league.

Yes, all of this.
