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

[Mackenzie]

He has to change it……. Surely

You’d have thought so and two goals isn’t insurmountable either.

 

[Flounce]

WHAT a game, that is all

 

[The Fits]

7-3 I reckon.

 

[Gully Forever]

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

And nobody is going to hold him accountable for our managerial recruitment.

 

[Mancgull]

Weiffer needs to be replaced for his own good.
Just hasn’t adapted to the pace of the Premier League.
Certainly missing JPVH and Veltman today.

 

[andy_lee007uk]

Literally every Brighton fan watching the match stating that the 'high line' isn't working.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

once we went 3-1 down i was calling for fh to bring on lamptey to at least give us a chance of getting one defender back.!

 

[Mackenzie]

He said he listens to his senior players.

Dunk, Welbeck, Milner need to go to Fab and have an intervention about the high line.

If he sticks with it, with these defenders, he won't last the season.

Dunk, as captain, will surely have a word.

 

[Seagull58]

I'm fine with Hurzeler having to learn that certain things won't work in the PL at times, it's his first season coaching in a major league

Problem is it took 20 minutes for him to alter things and he watched Chelsea rip us apart so many times before doing anything

What did he change?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I've aged at least 6 years

 

[Bodian]

First on motd... for an amazing away win

Corrected for you!

 

[Guinness Boy]

We look exactly like a team coached by a 31 year old who bought 8 right wingers and no centre back.

Not so clever now, is it?

 

[Toongull]

We would probably still be losing but JPvH doesn’t make half the mistakes Webster makes.

 

[pocketseagull]

And nobody is going to hold him accountable for our managerial recriutment.

TBF I think we binned RDZ in the expectation of getting McKenna. Another reason to hate Chelsea putting a spanner in the works.

 

[elwheelio]

£200m spent and our defence is WORSE than last season

Only us FFS

It's a bit early to be writing off £200m but none of the new signings have really shown a huge amount yet, have they?

 

[raymondo]

Please someone explain our recruitment this summer?
We should have spent big on at least one CB. Everyone can bloody see it.
Totally nuts. We've spent the most money in world football and seemingly totally ignored where we need to strengthen and our managers preferred tactics.

Yes. With Fab's tactics...we needed another fast CB...well, no, we need stop this high line.

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.

Good memory

 

[peterward]

I really can't stand cantor, He never criticises anything or anyone when it is this bad.

Happy Clapper

 

[dazzer6666]

£100m of it isn't even in the squad

See under 'de Zerbi-ball'.

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

Suicidal so far, absolutely chaotic.

First on MOTD though

 

[The Fits]

BBC:

HT: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton

Could this be the day we finally see somebody score a double hat-trick?

Five goals happens surprisingly often - five players have managed it in the Premier League, I once saw Robert Lewandowski do it as a substitute for Bayern Munich. Lionel Messi has done it in the Champions League.

But you never really see anybody score a sixth

Embarrassing this is being mentioned. We've given one of the best players in the league and absolute free ticket today.

 

[Triggaaar]

Who is right wing then?

So have you got your answer?
