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

[Diablo]

What's all the fuss about? We're tip half in the prem with nearly half the season gone. Good chance to qualify for Europe, we've lost our third game of the season and it's December. We've been the better team in most games we've played.

Bit of perspective

couldn`t beat any of the bottom three...Leicester and palace next. That is the reality !!

I loved RDZ but he also bought Ansu Fati here for 7m a season and it was a massive waste of money.

Wait til you find out we’ve spent a quarter of a billion

Bad all round.

Moment of naivety from Bart and Adingra was never going to work with 3 at the back. Lamptey coming on was the nail in the coffin.

Dunk and JPVH had poor games but can’t blame them, all on the manager for playing the back 3. Don’t care who the CB pairing is, need to be back to 4 at the back for Sunday.

Who at right back ? 3 are injured

 

[NorthLainer]

Now is the Winter of our discontent...

Maybe we'll be better in the Spring?!!

 

[DataPoint]

Fulham thoroughly deseved that win! Yep! 6 incredable goal attempts 2 fantastically were on target.

Think he was substituted as he was on a yellow and then committed another foul.

Yeah, you’re probably right, I hope to see JP & Igor as the CB partnership next match. Thought Lewis was ropey (expected after so long out)

 

[jcdenton08]

Fkn not good enough, Adringa was woeful, JPVH why take him off, back three, did not work, why the feck are we playing football on a Fkn Thursday if we’re not in Europe, Thursday & Friday football is utter bollox, it ruins the weekend before it’s begun if you lose, and the you play Sunday and hate Mondays more than usual if you lose that tooo..


Fkn not Fkn happy

It’s Adingra.

JPVH came off because he was on a yellow, having a poor game and we wanted to change the shape to a back four to try and get a win.

We’re playing Thursday night because the match was chosen for live Amazon Prime coverage, for which we are handsomely paid. The money we make on television coverage helps fund the players we get to watch in the stripes every week.

It only “ruins the weekend” if we lose, and lately we’ve been winning more often than we lose. Incidentally, it doesn’t ruin my weekend as I have other interests and am pragmatic about our successes and our failures.

Apart from that, excellent post.

Only positive was weiffer didn’t look bad

 

[Seagullspoons]

Fulham are pony. One error and a fluke goal undone us.

 

[willalbion]

We have a lot out atm

 

[Justice]

Fair enough result, we dropped right off after our equaliser. Thought JPVH should have stayed on. Lewis looked rusty, bad day at the office that

Dreading the Palace game

 

[Mancgull]

Can’t believe the praise for Wieffer christ stink so many games out and people will set the limbo bar at a couple of inches

Game of opinions and I don’t agree with yours. Did what a defensive midfielder should do. Kept the ball moving made interceptions and made a crucial tackle in the box.
So easy to scapegoat Weiffer But he was one of our better players tonight.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Every fcking game against them is the same. They time waste, have barely any of the ball and end up winning the game. I say next time we play them at their own game and just start going down time wasting every 5 minutes and boot the ball up field.

It generally is, but I'd say they beat us fair and square today. Even at 1-1 it felt inevitable we'd lose. It just didn't work today, let's hope lessons are being learned for Sunday; it's not going to be easy up there.

Didn't rate them TBH. But when they get gifted 2 goals we're not gonna win.

Albion used to be good in the capital but not for a while

 

[Cordwainer]

What a strange game. Better team for large parts of it without playing particularly well..Igor best defender (loved his stand still tackles) missed Welbeck n Rutter. Gifted two goals to ensure the curse continues.

 

[Krafty]

Dropping too many points at this rate. We won’t be getting Champions League by the looks of things.

 

[Hometownglory]

Not a good performance that.

 

[BBassic]

Fulham are pony. One error and a fluke goal undone us.

They forced the error through pressing.
They exploited our shitness at defending set pieces.
They bullied our players off the ball for the third.

They were better than us

Who are you and what have you done with Solid at the back?
