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

[Seagull58]

RDZ has proved himself give him a decent squad and he will achieve things. No one was complaining with a top six finish and an FA cup semi final.
I presume they trained last season under him without an injury pile up?
It’s as plain as day the midfield is weak this season patched up Baleba has more assists for the opposition than his own team.

While that is true, he has improved considerably in his ability to receive the ball on the half-turn and retain possession. He is using his size and strength to protect the ball better.

Two goalkeeping coaches and three athletic coaches

So, with De Zerbi included, that's six Italians, one Spanish and three Brits.

I think that is quite a few, but I'm happy to agree that we disagree.

I'm sure though, that we do at least agree with our regard for the moderator Guiness Boy.

I'm agreeing with you. It seems a lot.

Ah. My apologies......

Disappointing result. Struggling to see where the next win is coming from. What’s most disappointing is that we played absolutely no part in the goal we scored so I’m not sure the team can take any confidence from that it was a 100% gift.

Going back to Stanley.
He's been here five years. In that time you could count on one hand the decent set pieces.
Very unlike the club to stick with someone where there seems to be absolutely no proof he's doing his job properly.
In fact our set pieces are so bad i would have guessed we simply don't ever work on them in training.
How about we don't sign one random youngster, sack off Stanley and sign the best set piece coach we can.

He’s been at Lancing since 2012

You're just trying to wind me up.
I'm staggered though.
Does anyone here think our set pieces are remotely good enough?
12 years.

 

[ElectricNaz]

Can we get the Chelsea game just booked in for tomorrow. End the season ASAP and we go again much better next season

The last period I remember getting even slightly excited about set pieces was when we had Duffy because he seemed to be able to actually get on the end of them.

Apart from that? Woeful.

 

[nwgull]

Sorry but I'd love to see your average Englishman go to Italy and master what he has in the time he's been here. Not an issue for me

I’ve done it, not in football obviously, but can’t be much difference, can there? English managers like Hodgson, Venables and Potter have all done it as well.

For someone that has been living and working in England for 18 months, his English is still poor.

Championship when Dunk was top scorer. Bliss

Bliss might be over-egging it but yeah.

Bliss in terms of set pieces. Not in general!!!

I don't think it matters when the squad is made up of Dutchmen, Brazilians, Ivorians, Argentinians, Germans, Polish and Jocks.

Agree so what is RDZ a good coach or a bad coach
His passing ability needs work I notice other players have to constantly point to where he should pass the ball.

He's been in different roles though. Hasn't been set-piece coach since 2012.

 

[maltaseagull]

I despair of Lallana, right at the end he turned perfectly to create a wonderful shooting opportunity for himself on the edge of the box and played a powder puff pass to a Burnley defender. Waste of space.

His shooting is worse than Bissouma's.
Could be a great coach but should not be a squad.player next season.

Next win is next season. The players are on the beach. Fans should find one too and avoid further disappointment.

Fair point, he’s only had 5 years as set piece coach
