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

[Flounce]

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.

Ayari was my MOTM

Second half Saints wanted it more than us and in truth I was happy to come away with a point. Our clinical finishing had an off night and we hardly tested their keeper all game. On another night we could have been 3 up in the first 20 mins.

If Saints are thinking of sacking Martin they are mad. Kudos to them for trying to play football, not so much some of the cynical fouls that wanker of a ref let them get away with constantly. The goal scorer should have been sent off long before he scored and the ref just bottled the second yellow.

Fair result and their number 33 was a blinding player on the night, waltzed through us at will.

Oh well, I went to the game feeling pretty certain that we’d blow the chance of a win, so not that stressed about it, “The Brighton Way” in all it’s glory.

 

[Invicta]

Annoying as could have romped it but lucky to get a point really. Made them look good in the 2nd half. Didn't lose though so not the worst outcome.

 

[Weststander]

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

They took control of CM in terms of when they beat a rubbish press they had a numbers advantage, and turned the screw further on Lamptey and Estupinan who couldn’t live with their widemen. FH failed to act, really unusual for him, until the VAR saviour.

 

[Milano]

Their keeper looked absolutely shit, so of course we hardly tested him. I’m getting more angry, going to bed.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

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

Yeah Jones is a very poor ref.
Baulks the big decisions and gets pedantic about the small ones.

Happy to send a coach off, but bottles sending a player off.

Bloke's a ****

No issue with Ayari, or O'Riley.
Just not both.
We needed a ball winner.
Second half , got so frustrated with Saints walking through multiple challenges in midfield.

Secondhalf did Stains effectively have three in CM? Ayari and O’Reilly appeared overwhelmed.

I can't go to bed when I'm angry so I've just poured myself another drink.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Alright. So we are second in t'league.

But that was a disgrace from my entitled perspective.

This is how I felt when I got home.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Four points from Ipswich, Wolves, Forest and Saints at home is an absolutely dogshit return. Relegation form if you take it out of context.

But then four points from City, United and Spurs at home would be an excellent return, let alone nine.

What an odd team we have.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Well that was entirely predictable wasn't it?

Awful game. Slow, niggly and error strewn.

Golden opportunity missed once again. f*** sake.

Their teenager looks a player though.

 

[slimes]

Taking Pedro off.. surely you put Julio Enciso on... like for like..

Adingra is best on the left.. Mitoma cover..

Minteh on the right.. Rutter cover..

Dunk should of come on a lot sooner.. Without Veltman we struggled.. Lamptey is great going forward but hes not a right back.. I can't bare to watch corners when Lamptey is playing.

We have to learn to be more defensive on counter attacking teams when we are 1-0 up.

 

[B-right-on]

We missed Baleba

Enciso is really out of favour at the moment for some reason. Has apparently asked to play for the U21s.

Maybe FH thinks Enciso is not a team player, watching him in the under 21 match , he hardly ever passes , a bit of a one man team ,
but has hardly played this season so maybe trying to impress
