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

[spence]

Defending this season has been nothing short of embarrassing.

 

[portslade seagull]

Oh well cannot defend corners and free kicks, useless and clueless

 

[BN41Albion]

You can almost predict that if we score a goal, we'll give one away straight afterwards.
Dreadful.

Almost no point in celebrating we concede so quickly afterwards

 

[Wardy's twin]

Why can we not defend free kicks? Schoolboy defending. Bissouma didn’t even jump. Potter must be furious

why do u say that he gave away the player who is best at heading the ball....

 

[stss30]

We can **** ourselves silly about our attractive attacking play under Potter but if we keep conceding carbon copy goals at the end of the half/after we’ve just scored from set pieces we're going to get relegated

 

[larus]

Again Ryan should have come for that.

Ryan doesn’t come for anything. That’s why we are so bad at set pieces.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Potter may be a decent coach going forward but is proving to be clueless around defending!! How many goals per game do we need to let in!!

 

[Washie]

We should have kept Hughton on to coach the defenders and Potter to coach the forwards because Potter can't coach defenders for shit.

He was just as bad with set pieces. Our players are big, yet seem to be utterly incapable of heading a football.

 

[peterward]

Soon as free kick given I swear I thought, they'll score.....they never happened with Dunk and Duffy.

We've given away defensive solidity and all ability to defend set pieces in pursuit of an attacking style.

Every set piece we look terrible.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Must not concede immediately...

Becoming a habit to concede quickly after scoring

 

[willalbion]

That was an unreal ball. James Rodriguez is mustard.

it was a quality delivery but... f#$k me ATTACK the ball.

 

[junior]

How did we all of a sudden lose all organisation at defending set pieces?

We lost it when Duffy left.

 

[brightn'ove]

Can’t defend set pieces.

Always concede after scoring.

FFS

I’m sick of it!

This is only the 4th game of the season in case you didn’t know that.

 

[Raskolnikov]

This is becoming very worrying

 

[Hugo Rune]

Totally shit. We cannot defend which is embarrassing when you look at the players we have. Stupid tackle by March also.

So obvious what was going to happen after that tackle.

Everton will score with almost set piece they get against us today so why the **** are we giving away stupid fouls?

 

[Elipsis]

Pathetic. For all the nice football we must be the softest, most naive team in the league. Another goal conceded within minutes of us scoring. Very poor game management and GP must take the blame for some of that. And another example of why an upgrade is required in goal.

We conceded fewest amount of goals since we joined the prem last season didn't we...?
God knows what's going on this season though

 

[zefarelly]

I hope to see some serious change at half time, relegation defending.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Ryan is the problem IMO. Every team knows he won't come to claim anything, as do our defence. We need someone commanding in goal more than we need a keeper who can play short passes.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

So easy. Going to be a long old season. Dunk/Duffy partnership was casually discarded for no good onfield reason at all. Sake!
