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

[WhingForPresident]

We aren't very good

 

[fruitnveg]

Switched in Radio Sussex commentary - first thing I hear is free kick in a promising position for Brighton; Gross takes it. Straight to a Burnley head.

Isn't there anybody else who can take free kicks and corners? Good player though he is - and absolutely vital to us in many ways - but sometimes it almost feels like dropping him would be good, just for the sake of forcing the team to let somebody else take the set-pieces!

Not just set peices, some responsibility for a positive result. Imagine how absolutely shit we would be if he got injured too.

f***s me off beyond belief how we’re playing at the moment. absolutely nothing seems to come together. we start well with purpose and energy and we’re met with a low block we can’t break down. we don’t and we’re massacred from all angles. either way it’s shite

 

[birthofanorange]

I think it's safe to say that I've seen us play better.

 

[Seagull58]

Hooper giving them everything, giving us nothing.

 

[Weststander]

We aren't very good

In the PL …. since September.

Hooper giving them everything, giving us nothing.

Fouls are 5-2 . He's given more to us than Burnley

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

A momentary advantage in one game doesn’t merit one of our players being out possibly until the end of the season if it’s an Achilles injury - not with so many injuries we already have - I can’t see any good in that

To be honest, he's been pants ever since coming back from injury. Often exposed, and trailing in the wake of an attacker getting ahead of him. Yes I know, before you say, that we're missing Mitoma protection, but he's not been right since he came back from long-term injury

 

[Zeberdi]

At least Adingra was on target - improvement from last few weeks

 

[Hendrax]

that was better. bit of desire to get it forward quickly.

Big surprise there then

I don't think you can claim that when he didn't give them that penalty

 

[GT49er]

Hooper giving them everything, giving us nothing.

Well, he didn't give them a penalty ...........................

 

[birthofanorange]

Well, he didn't give them a penalty ...........................

Have to say, I was convinced it would be given.

 

[Krafty]

It feels like the season is over.

Likely came back too early. As last time

 

[Marxo]

The ball and their keepers gloves seem to be magnetized.

 

[The Fits]

I have to watch a lot of football. Currently there's very few teams in the league who look as clueless and tentative as us. That isn't just about injuries. We've gone from one of the best drilled teams to one that looks like the players have never even met.

[I’m not watching the game] that’s interesting, as Kompany I thought was insistent on playing ManC-esque football principles.

Funny how a desire for chiseling points, going by your observation, has changed Kompany’s ethos.
