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

I assumed the 'we dont need to sign a centre back' was because we might revert to 4-4-2, but with this formation and Duffy involved that feels like a step backwards from last season.

Duffy playing better than Webster

How is your Albion mojo after 45?

The pig-headed irony of Burnley fans calling anyone 'cheats' is astounding.

Ok. So that was shite. Let’s start again shall we?

That was poor.

I have been resolutely pro-Potter throughout his tenure, but the first 45 minutes of this game is genuinely giving me pause for thought.

Our midfield and attack seems really lightweight, we can’t retain possession and we seem soft all over the pitch.

We’re being easily outfought, and Burnley’s approach really shouldn’t have been a surprise to us, yet we seem to have been surprised by it. I don’t doubt that (if gifted the opportunity) we can play, but I’m not seeing much evidence we can fight.

Desperately hoping for a better second half with us showing a bit more willingness to ride challenges and compete physically. An alternative to “run forward slowly with the ball until it’s taken from us” would be appreciated too.

As they say, its a game of 2 halves

 

[Swansman]

Pretty shite but hopefully second half will be better.

Sorry but how can you play when the ref allows assault after assault? As a player you would withdraw within yourself, nobody wants to be injured. Burnley are a ****ing disgusting side.

A poor preseason is showing.

Thankfully only 1-0 gives us the chance to sort it out but changes needed now not on 70 minutes.
Could be worse, if you are an Everton fan and Palace are hopeless today, Watford have run Villa ragged.

 

[Bridcutt]

Awful half.

Webster has been really poor, as has Sanchez and Alzate. Mwepu and Trossard can't get into the game as they're being played on the wings (why)

Awful reffing as Mee should be on a yellow too and he's watching Burnley constantly foul us

Burnley deserve to be 2 or 3 ahead

Hands down the worst 45mins of football I've seen us play this season.

 

[pocketseagull]

Still above Palace in the table : )

 

[throbinson]

Ffs lads get the ball forward quicker

 

[bluenitsuj]

Shit clueless performance so far. No aggression or pace.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Pretty shite but hopefully second half will be better.

We can improve and chase this game. Hopefully we get on top and stay on top.

Let’s be honest, that was absolutely woeful.
