[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[brightn'ove]

Palace had 0 xG

 

[portslade seagull]

Apart from the penalty was Zaha actually playing

 

[neilbard]

I see the same old Albion haters are back out again

Not haters, just people with an opinion, we aren't all happy clappy, blinkers on, Potter is the messiah brigade, ffs.

 

[Motogull]

This!

If Maupay had reacted as instinctively as Ali Mac did, we could have won that.

Or as the cycle-helmet-hair-player did for them.

 

[Stato]

I think it's been an hour now since the final whistle. Can we safely say we've drawn yet, or is there still a chance we'll have another penalty awarded against us?

 

[Whitechapel]

Some people on here would win the lottery and moan the jackpot was bigger last week. F*ck me, if my outlook on life was as depressingly bleak as some people on here I'd have booked myself a one way flight to Switzerland years ago.

Yes i could hear him moaning, swearing and being a prick

 

[Weststander]

Agree but think he’s been a bit below par this season by his standards. Think we’ll be covered but we’ll be an even smaller team without him!

I agree, his defending was poor in all recent games bar Newcastle.

Palace had 0 xG

They wouldn't have scored a 'real' goal if they'd played until November...

No matter what problems we may or may not have imagine having to watch that in that shithole of a ground every other week?

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Yet another toothless performance. Ruined early by the ref but still nowhere near good enough.
I'd rather watch us play crap and take the points than have 80%+ possession and lose week after week.

We lost ...?

Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana, on the Palace penalty:

"If that is a penalty then there are probably nine or 10 a game. I am confused as to what is a penalty now. It is physical at corners and you are trying to get to men to block them. Without the legal physical contact it wouldn't be a game, would it?"



Brighton manager Graham Potter speaking to Sky Sports:

On the penalty: "The devils advocate would say if the player has hands up he gives the ref chance to give penalty. But the ref and VAR still have to decide if it is a foul or not. It didn't look a foul to me and he went down a bit easy. But they decided it was

"It looked a little soft. In defence of the referee, as soon as an arm goes up you give them an excuse to give the penalty.

"But, saying that, just because the arm goes up doesn't mean it is a penalty either. He went down very quickly and I'm not sure it was a penalty.

"VAR got to see it and gave the foul. I'm not convinced, when saw it live I thought it was a little bit cheap."

Spot on from Lallana. Is that the first time Potter has ‘lost it’ in an interview?

We have won 1 at home and won 2 away in 2020, so when are likely to get a point at Liverpool, Man Utd or Man City get real,

last season we lost away to all three and I for one can't see that changing.

Be really nice if we did. No other club of our type has such an appalling record against the really big boys away from home. Or indeed, at home if we carry on 2020s form. That’s why id settle to win ugly games like today because despite pleasing the plaudits, we get **** all out of even dominating periods of play against Lpool, City, Chelsea etc whereas others, inc. Palace, seem to pull off that shock draw or even three points once or twice a season and that might be crucial in our battle to avoid the drop (season 4)

 

[dangull]

Played Mac.

I wonder where that shot was heading without the deflection. Then again who cares

A university case study compared a set of people who had won life changing amounts on the lottery and another who had been recently permanently paralysed in accidents and found that after a period of several months after the events the two groups were little different in terms of their overall happiness levels, both parties having settled back to what they previously had been. Who’d have thunk it?

Potter comes across as a complete wet in interviews. Well said Lallana.

Palace get new record

Since Opta began recording shot data in the Premier League in 2003-04, Crystal Palace are the first team to have had just one shot in a match in the competition and for that shot be a penalty.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Read bits of this thread.What a load of miserable ***** you are !.Basically C Palace playing Hughton's game but with slightly better players. All the moaning and oh ahh crap. Southampton totally dominated the tossers from Croydon, and lost 1-0. We were ok I think he (Potter) could have made subs earlier. As for Lewis was hoping for someone to clear the ball.So it would hit him and go in. So obvious even Souness mentioned it, good point lads well done.

So for a well known quote Crystal Palace "are anti-football".

If Hughton had the squad that Hodgson has at his disposal, he wouldn't have put up a piss poor performance like that.

Well that was exciting wasn’t it !
Truely awful from us, no attacking intent, and happy to soak up the pressure.
With the attacking options we have, we should be be more on the front foot, especially at home against teams around us.
Got out of jail today .

If that penalty was truly a penalty then we are approaching the time when if a defender touches a forward and the forward falls over it is a nailed on Penalty from the ref and or VAR.
Very sad times indeed. Lamptey the smallest player in the Premier league brushes a big tall atter and he goes down looking for a penalty. No way did Lamptey impede that player....no way.

Did you think your penalty was justified?
