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

[WhingForPresident]

There was obviously going to be a bit of a transition period, but I did not expect to see something as shambolic as this. Not even the scoreline necessarily, the tactical naivety, shocking individual performances, no caution used away against a side with a good attack despite the fact two teams that will be in a relegation scrap have given us bother at home owing to our defensive tactics.

 

[Zeberdi]

Fcuking baised commentators on Sky 2 - every time the ball goes near the net for Chelsea - we get “and it goes in” and then “but this time he missed”

 

[Justice]

A lot are questioning it too which I think is fair enough. I don't see any issue in questioning ability to adapt to try and stop us from continually being cut open.
It's happened to other sides before, yes, but I'm not sure I've ever seem a manager not try and plug the issue.
Chelsea are on song going forward yes, Fab needs to work out a way to stop it.

Fab is clearly not good enough at this level. Admit we made an error and move on.

 

[de la zouch]

He’s taken off our two worst players
Let’s see if it makes a difference

 

[Triggaaar]

Ref has just given Chelsea the ball for no reason. It's ridiculous.

 

[raymondo]

Why don't Chelsea subs warming up on the pitch get given reds?

 

[macbeth]

maybe nostalgia bias but i don’t remember there ever being such a bad defensive performance under RDZ

Nonsense. We looked far worse at Villa last year - and we still look like scoring here.

Yeah that was odd.

Ridiculously early to make that sort of judgement. Ferguson was rubbish in his first season at Old Trafford.

 

[Reddleman]

Reactionary nonsense. Sure he has to learn and quickly but until today we are unbeaten in 7 games.

 

[portlock seagull]

“Cole could have had seven.”

Thank god he’s English.

 

[Bodian]

He blew up so their player could get treatment - the ball had already gone through into the penalty area and was basically keeper's ball.

Let's see if he can learn and adjust first shall we? Albeit this is shambolic we are unbeaten so far

This is by far the worst defensive performance since a couple of tonkings in our first premier league season.

Fulham and then a few days later Roma?

But today we’ll be beaten by 7?

 

[Bodian]

Their player was a good yard over the shaving foam there - does that not matter anymore?

 

[Triggaaar]

Ref has given a foul against Mitoma!

Have they changed refs?
