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

[Uh_huh_him]

Let's be positive. Citeh, Chelsea and Arsenal might all lose this weekend. Stranger things have happened.

Arsenal won't lose

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Didn't like the look of the team.
Lamptey, Ayari,O'Riley had the look of , "We just need to turn up to win this one"

Weiffer should have started, do 't care who with, but we needed more bite in midfield.

 

[Alex BH]

I’m not sure what went wrong in the second half, but we made Southampton look like prime Barcelona.

Away fixture. Derby. You never know..

Yeah sure, but.....
West Ham.

West Ham.

Fair point; well made.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I’m not sure what went wrong in the second half, but we made Southampton look like prime Barcelona.

I don't think we have played 2 good halves in a single game this season.

If it's goung to be the first half, we need at least 2 goals to stand a chance of 3 pts

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lallana still out - shame, he would have got a warm welcome I think. Bednarek out then.

You don’t need to be on X - It’s on the same post that has been posted here! I’m not on X either but I can still see the sub list under the starters.

I clicked on it and it wanted me to sign in!

Igor a liability all 1st half yet started 2nd. Lamptey not much better. Van Hecke world class MOM. Mitoma one of worse misses ive ever seen and game was over had he scored. So fed up waiting for VAR I checked Sky via Now TV App and it was one of the clearest offsides you'll ever see. Pay to watch it live and get treated awfully. Trains a nightmare. Only 6 carrages stop on the platform at Lewes and station staff at Falmer riddiculously telling people to board a train already overcrowded. Im pissed off we were too tippy tappy slow against a team not good enough for league 1 never mind PL. Europe again? Not like that it wont happen. Dreadful tactics and lack of urgency. Did Ferguson touch the ball? He was at walking pace FFS.

I stand back row of North by the singing section. It's f***ing draining trying to get those in front of me let alone the rest of the ground to keep the atmosphere going. Yes I know we need stuff to happen on the pitch but f*** me it's getting tiring clapping and singing and no one around joins in. This is a post slagging off the North stand.

The ref was only poor because he sometimes gave fouls against us and that's very annoying....

Four Southampton players booked, two Albion. But we committed slightly more fouls.

Ref, generally is the case, was fine. Albion not taking advantage when it was there wasn't.

Anyway, time for the cricket- and HIGNFY

So in the first half when rutter got the ball and everytime a southampton player was shirt pulling and yet nothing from the ref, he's a poor ref and he was poor tonight

Just got home. That was shit.
At times it was like watching Potter’s pondering Albion.
Pedro’s worst game in the stripes. FFS cut out the flicks when we’re only1-0 up. A bit arrogant.
Rutter looked done after an hour, why did it take FH another 20 mins to sub him?
it was screaming out for Minteh (pace), he should have come on ahead of Adringa.
JPvH to right back was plain silly.

Other than that though, a good evening?

No it was not im.fvcki g furious we didnt beat a pub team. For all the tackles we win we then fvcked up giving the ball away.

 

[Bodian]

Not sure about the narrative that if Mitoma had scored from that break we'd have cantered it. We did still score first. I suspect if Mitoma had scored, we'd just have relaxed earlier than we did.

 

[mile oak]

I wont be surprised if I read a report saying saints were devastated and gutted they hadnt won because they had urgency at the end and believed they could pull of a giant killing. They nearly did. How did we not beat 1 if not the worst ever team assembled in the PL?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Just got home.

Me and the boy left on 85 minutes.

"Not all the while my arsehole points downwards will we score again tonight" I said.

I didn't realize we'd spend 15 minutes not doing so.

FFS.

Same chat on the train. That is the worst team I’ve seen us play in 2 years. I include Burnley, Shef U and Crawley in that time too.
In Dibling they have a genuine talent though.

 

[Napper]

Wtf was said at half time. Diabolical after the break and escaped with a point .

Even our winns we’ve managed to string 30 mins decent performance at most . We are so all or nothing

 

[mile oak]

This is what I like about him - no fannying around or hiding stuff.

But that didnt happen in the 100th minite what did he do to change that?
