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

[boik]

She’s got to be noshing off the first team

What a terrible thing to say. Hope you're proud.

Now they're inventing Chelsea penalty shouts.

This coverage is like comedy gold.

 

[Mike Small]

Aluko is useless. Well done Clattenberg for saying neither are penaltiies. And I wish I was singing Aluko's praises not him

 

[Washie]

[MENTION=19935]Washie[/MENTION] will be along to say something positive in a minute…

We played really well.

 

[R. Slicker]

****ing hell, they're desperately trying to find a penalty for Chelsea now.
We're gonna lose this 2-1 aren't we?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Didn’t Aluko use to play for a penalty…hence she thinks it’s a penalty……Tuchel stonewall…f off

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Andy Townsend talking sense! Tuchel moaning about injuries so he says “look at the talent on the bench! Get over it!”….. or words to that effect

Overlooking the fact that he gave Lukaku the MoM (what?) he's a least calling Tuchel out for the wingeing git that he is.

 

[Stato]

Imagine how long Tuchel would have lasted had he been asked to manage Chelsea with a transfer ban like Lampard had to.

 

[Mackenzie]

Aluko is useless. Well done Clattenberg for saying neither are penaltiies. And I wish I was singing Aluko's praises not him

Aluko, Townsend, Poyet……where is the balance?

 

[1066familyman]

****ing hell, they're desperately trying to find a penalty for Chelsea now.
We're gonna lose this 2-1 aren't we?

All in a good cause though. There's a title race to think about remember

 

[WATFORD zero]

Biss, Veltman, BDB or Cucu - any one could have got MoM today. Superb team performance.

Also Tuchel. What a graceless little twunt!

Saves me typing

 

[portlock seagull]

Tuchel…what a dickhead …..


….so many injuries ….injuries….did I mention injuries ….don’t forget the injuries

He’s such a predictable prick. A graceless one at that. He’s lucky to have a point tonight and should be more than satisfied with.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Well Said Andy Townsend. Chelsea have plenty of internationals that could play.

Yes he did well there but should have gone further.
But I am not letting him off at all because all through the game he was so for Chelsea, when we gave him no choice all through the 2nd half he very reluctantly praised us.

 

[pb21]

Veltman MOTM

Several (11) viable contenders but I'd give it to Veltman too.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Its amusing watching the body language going on in this interview!

Harry potters arms crossed one moment
Then Hands in pockets next

 

[Bob!]

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.

What was this?

 

[portlock seagull]

Tuchel is really in the Klopp/Guardiola mould. Seems a decent guy generally and happy to dish out praise to teams that are nice enough to roll over for them, but as soon as their teams start underperforming they turn into sour, moaning old twats.

Pressure is genuinely on him now, knowing Chelsea he could be out of a job come the end of the season if they don't win the league.

Didn't have much feeling either way towards him, Mount or Pulisic but they're all on my Prick List after tonight.

Klopp needs a shave whilst Guardiola needs the hair and Tuchel needs to stop sucking his thumb. But yes, they all need to grow up. Could learn a lot about Grace and humility from our man Graham.

 

[TimWatt]

Jacob Steinberg’s sum up in The Guardian:

‘ This time it was not even about Chelsea’s wastefulness. They barely created anything after taking the lead through Romelu Lukaku’s header in the first half and could have no complaints after this costly draw with Brighton, who thoroughly outplayed the European champions before Danny Welbeck came off the bench to earn them a deserved point in stoppage time.’

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Incidentally - kudos to the ref for playing EXACTLY 4 mins added time, despite the Chelsea fans timewasting by failing to return the ball. I'd like to think he'd have added a minute or two if we hadn't equalised.
