[Albion] Frank Lampard’s Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Bodian]

Just thinking what the table would be like if we’d had the correct result last week.

 

[Eric the meek]

Time to put the Spurs debacle behind us. 3 points from 2 away games at Spurs and Chelsea, is OK.

But the real triumph, is not the points haul. It's the performances. We dominated both of them.

Get in there boys!

So good to beat that lot. Frank at one point seemed to be holding back tears. Feel almost a little sorry for him but not that derelict looking owner.

Most shots an away team has ever had at the Stamford Bridge apparently

No.

 

[BBassic]

What a result that is.

We were the better team.
Our fans were louder.
The ref was, dare I say it, fine.
And an absolute belter of a winning goal.

 

[Icy Gull]

The team believe more than me, fantastic and gutsy performance

 

[birthofanorange]

Never in doubt.
What a strike, though.

 

[Sheebo]

UNBELIEVABLE

Didn't like the last ten minutes very much - not used to playing without the ball.

What have Chelsea taken off us this season? Our Player of the season, all our management team.
What have we taken off Chelsea? 6 points!!!!!

Plus around 80 million

What an absolutely fantastic result. There's no doubt everyone involved with Chelsea's would've fancied some kind of result today but we've utterly embarrassed them by all measures but goals, capped off by a wonder goal buy one of our wonder kids. Sensational stuff.

And relax

Well done lads! Thank you for restoring my mojo. First double over Chelsea.

awesome result…. fully deserved after last week

All of these and more. Absolutely brilliant especially after last week. Should have scored much more but we won and 3 points in the bag.

 

[Sheebo]

6 points

 

[oldboyroy]

Played mega money Chelsea off the park in their own back yard. Only thing wrong was the score......it should of been 5 or 6 but what a team. Had feeling they would turn up for Frank and gladly wrong on that 1,or was I? Maybe we are simply too good for them.

And spurs moss up another goal with kane offside and blocking view

 

[vegster]

Just listening to BBC Radio Sussex and I don't think I have ever heard Warren so happy ! I know he's had some awful problems over the years and its SO lovely to hear him so happy and positive.

I swear when you were still 1-0 down I wanted to write "you're winning this" because I really had that feeling (unlike with Tottenham when I didn't), but being the Italian I am I was too afraid of jinxing it. Good performance and, more importantly, good spirit throughout.

If I have to give a criticism is that while you seem to always know what to do when attacking the opposition's area, you seem to have less of a clear plan when defending your own area, where you often left yourselves wide open and had to rely on the brilliance of your defenders in 1v1 (they were really fantastic in this match) rather than on a reliable collective system. If you figure out a solid system for when you have to defend your own area, you're going to be really tremendous.

I caught Johnny Cantor quoting someone he had been talking to. It might have been a commentator or a Chelsea fan. He said Enciso's goal was the best goal had seen in his entire life. He also said it could have been 7-1.
