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

That not another foul on Mitoma?

 

[oldboyroy]

Most entertaining game of the season but means nothing to me!

 

[jimhigham]

At the fans' forum before the start of the season, Fab asked fans if they'd prefer to win 5-2 or 1-0. They said 5-2, he said he'd prefer 1-0.

Maybe he should try practicing what he preaches.

He said that?

He‘s got a bloody odd way of achieving his goals. Either that or he really listens to the supporters.

Wieffer is totally lost. Already looking like our other Eredivizie signings.

No foul for Mitoma being sandwiched. But a penalty for Sancho for the same thing.

Ref on their side today

I’m not particularly entertained!!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Surely Hurzeler will change this at half time, it’s pretty stupid tactically. The media have been asking him all week about the high line and chelsea‘s quick forwards.
Anyway hopefully he’ll have a rethinkm because this really isn’t working.

 

[Triggaaar]

He said that?

Yes

 

[Taybha]

Just lulling them into a false sense of security, we'll still win.

He wasn't asked if he wanted to lose 5-2 though....

 

[Sussexscots]

Was it ever a minor injury? I think when he did it was always going to be a few weeks out or have I misremembered?

I remember RDZ saying it was 'a small thing' a couple of times. Then he stopped mentioning it altogether

Johnny and Warren saying the ref has been good today.

Its blatantly obvious isn’t it

 

[GT49er]

Have to agree. Should be picking tactics based on players ability, not sticking with something not working and players not quick enough or good enough to play it.

See under 'de Zerbi-ball'.

While still early days, swapping WBG for Wieffer looks a mistake. WBG offered far more control in MF.

Tend to agree. We're certainly not feeling the benefit of spending £200M quid just yet!

 

[de la zouch]

Webster couldn’t get into half the teams in the championship. He’s a liability.
Wieffer is not upto PL pace yet
Carrying 2 passengers and the high line have killed us today

 

[brighton_dave]

It’s not power it’s pace!

Completely this. If you're playing that high, you need some recovery pace back there. It doesn't feel as though he has a plan b, hence allowing is to continue to be cut open.

He has to change it……. Surely

 

[oldboyroy]

Wonder what Bloom is thinking after blowing 200 million for no improvement?

 

[The Fits]

He's need time but I'd take Ayari or Hinsh in DM over Wieffer right now.

Johnny and Warren saying the ref has been good today.

Theyre both cluless
