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

[timbha]

What an abysmal question from Aluko

Out of her depth. Stands there nodding and then agrees with whatever has been said

 

[The Fits]

Bodes the question, does Cucurella play in a back three with Webster and Dunk when all fit?

 

[rogersix]

We did this without Dunk, Duffy, Webster and Trossard.

exactly, how are the players gonna feel about this?

 

[raymondo]

GP asked what's needed to turn draws into wins, but it's also about turning defeats into draws...and WE ARE GOOD !!

 

[larus]

BDB -IMO he had an outstanding game..

What exactly does he do again?

 

[aolstudios]

Veltman MOTM

Or Biss, BDB, Cucurella...
Great team performance

 

[brighton_tom]

Absolutely deserved. Always had this one down as a loss so well done the lads for proving me wrong.

He goes left wing back

 

[Stato]

Cucurella was immense all game, MoM for me

Unfortunately Townsend had made the decision before the match started. I think Lukaku might be taking an injunction out against him. He was so weirdly stalkerish. At one point he criticised BDB for getting touch tight on Lukaku, saying he was terrified of giving him space. Its called doing his job Andy. You should try it one day.

 

[Mike Small]

I think Potter was very clever today with picking Burn and Veltman. Good partnership. Left foot, right foot. Nice balance. Burn had a good go with Lukaku. Veltman is so intelligent and plays the ball out well. Also, bringing on Welbeck for that. Class.

 

[El Turi]

Just like Liverpool away, that was a top performance. Those Chelsea fans who were time wasting by throwing the ball around in the crowd must be feeling stupid now!

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Idiot pundits... Maupay isn't marking Lukaku - the plan is just for him to get in his way. Its then up to the zonal marking defenders to deal with the cross. No clue.

 

[Mike Small]

Right. Kante has lifted them. Bring on Welbeck for Moder (pretty anonymous again) and 1-1 lovely jubbly.

Do you need another assistant Graham?

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Cucurella was tremendous all over the place! And the assist was sublime.

But EVERYBODY else was pretty good as well - Bissouma, Veltman, Lamptey tying Reece James up……

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It doesn't normally get to but tonight it has.
The pre match summaries, the pre match interviews, the commentary and especially Townsend and all this after match stuff is incredibly biased.
Sure there are some parts bigging us up but they have no choice because we were brilliant tonight and could have won.
My piss is really boiling, I even feel like complaining if I knew how and it can't be assumed as sour grapes either.
It seems to me that when channels do not get much live football they go totally overboard on the big teams and the big players.
Tonight Amazon have totally embarrassed themselves.
Well done Potter for calling out the pre match horrendous interview.

 

[Stat Brother]

Wow this fella is such a knob.

 

[R. Slicker]

Tuchel, What an ungracious prick.

 

[Gabbafella]

Tuchel is a proper bitter little prick. Moaning about injuries and how hard done by Chelsea are. Prick.

 

[1066familyman]

What ? Surely he saw us beat Peterborough in 2010/11

He did, but wasn't allowed to say live on air that we were fvcking brilliant that day

 

[HantsSeagull]

Tuchel being as gracious as ever - what a see you next tuesday
