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

[SeagullDubai]

2 goals from poor marking at crosses he could not come and claim quite obviously but still gets the blame, the hatred for steele is embarrassing.

No hatred....he doesn't dominate the box...when was the last time he broke up an attack in the 6 yard box which is his territory....

 

[BHA Fan93]

Verbruggen is so much better than Steele!

Only want to see the Dutch keeper in goal from now on.

Explain what steele has done wrong in this game?

Is he part time only?

 

[Washie]

I'm starting to get sick of this. Why do I allow these to ruin my mental health knowing exactly how its going to play out week in week out.

 

[nsclurker]

I said 4-0, so half way there...

We look clueless when we're in their half. And our penalty area.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Were always going to be writing this game off. Injury list makes our current League and Euro positions something of a miracle. Tho sadly unsustainable

 

[trueblue]

Tricky when you play these little clubs that don’t have European football to contend with.

 

[GoingUp]

We've gone from a stacked bench to putting out weak starting line up against Chelsea. These injuries are worrying.

You don't think having a keeper shorter than the majority of their outfield players affects our ability to defend set pieces?

 

[Seagull58]

Can only assume he was behind the ball because he certainly looked well offside otherwise. Would like to see the lines.

Only if they are drawn correctly, which is unlikely in this case.

Literally 5 minutes before the goal he got down to a cross that was heading to colwill for a tap in, not one of those crosses a keeper would be able to come and collect. If that was Bart in goal there would be the same outcome but no hatred for him. Defences fault for both goals very poor marking and that’s it.

 

[Ethelwulf]

The rotation policy for the keepers is stupid and wrong . Just pick the best one and keep them in till cup game or injury it’s madness and not working and costing us big time

Which one scored?

 

[Mike Small]

Haven't seen the nature of our soft goals but if we can keep it to 2-0 half time and get one back in the 2nd, they may panic.

 

[BevBHA]

Awful tackle by Gallagher on FB

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Yeah having a 6"4 goalkeeper rather than one that's 5"11 wouldn't make any difference.

Who is this 5ft 11 goalie we have?

 

[BHA Fan93]

Verbruggen is literally 5cm taller and you think that would stop them goals?

That could easily have been red

 

[fruitnveg]

Wouldn't be able to tell they were winning 2-0 would you? Atmosphere is dead on stream.

 

[zefarelly]

Our final ball has been shocking so far. We need more bite.
