Lazio Friendly

[DavePage]

anyone notice Onazi at the end of the game? couldn't shake hands with any more Brighton Players, Management, Coaches if he tried.
Apparently he is looking for a new club

Can we surmise that manu is a serious part of our plans for the season?

From the little I saw when he came on, it would be cup matches and if we have enormous injury crisis.

 

[fleet]

We did OK, but we never really got our forward into the game - from watching the stream it was hard to work out what formation we were playing up front.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

1-0 Lazio. Ravel Morrison

Doug Loft style daisy-cutter against the run of play

Yeah, hes not looked great. Im just surprised hes had as much playing time as he has this pre season. I thought he was gone this year for sure.

What was the audience? Sounded lively.

 

[Grombleton]

What was the audience? Sounded lively.

Football supporters, mainly. Mostly human.

 

[dolphins]

What was the audience? Sounded lively.

Just a whisker under 10,000. Can't remember the exact figure. Most of the team looked pretty sharp from where I sat...some encouraging signs.

 

[London Irish]

I was really pleased with the performance today, we more than matched a top class team for vast majority of game.
Murray missed a couple of sitters and there was a clear handball in their box in the second half but the result doesn't matter. Did allow Morrison a bit too much space for his slow motion shot and that's more of a concern than any offside.

We still need another striker as a matter of urgency, ideally someone with real pace. The squad back-ups like Ince and Manu still not massively convincing but I guess better than seeing Holla again

 

[Albion Robster]

Lazio kept the ball very well, especially in the second half.
Dunk and Bruno played well together. Covered for each other well.
Kayal had a mere, nothing came off for him. Cracking shot in the first 10 minutes that went narrowly wide though.
Atmosphere was non-existent. Just the East Stand - West Stand chant all game.

He'd be a better fit in a Di Canio team.

 

[BBassic]

Looked dire from start to finish, lots of hard work needed and at least 3 new players.

Dire. Give over. It's a pre-season friendly. It means nothing.

 

[LamieRobertson]

The 2 physios provided some entertainment when they 'ran' on
..pass me some more pasta



And a goalmouth scramble ..the pitch has a definite slop this season

 

[Puppet Master]

How many Lazio there?

 

[Deanbha]

I wouldn't be against him coming here. He didn't offer that much going forward but defensively he was a bit Kante-esque in the way he'd track and recover the ball

 

[BBassic]

367 I think it said.

At least ten of them were from London. Four of that ten were Fulham ST holders.

I saw three of them down at the beach at around 2.00pm :thumbsup

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

Ince is playing pretty well.

... he says as he gives the ball away

Other than that time he gave the ball away, I thought he had a good game looking to play the ball quickly when he could. We needed to create a bit more but generally didn't think we played that badly. Kayal and Knockhaert looked a bit off the pace and on another day Murray would have stuck one away. Next week will tell us whether we are ready and the two K's will be up for it.
