[Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[scooter1]

Well that feels like a loss

 

[Rookie]

Not great. Poor going forward and mistakes at the back for both their goals.
Not surprised RDZ was going mad, this could really cost us as it should have been an easy 3

 

[Triggaaar]

When we take the lead away from home, which we have against Leicester, palace and here, you have to kill the game, we continue to go gunho even whilst we are in the lead, which works at home it seems but not so much away.

So we outplay the opponents and take the lead, and then we sit back, inviting them onto us, and then complain about the tactics when they inevitably score, screaming 'why didn't we just carry on as we were!'

 

[slimes]

A draw was a fair result.. should of replaced Webster a lot sooner.. he was struggling. So wanted de zerbi to put on the 3 amigos with 20 minutes left!

 

[Icy Gull]

In no way knocking Steele but I reckon Sanchez height would have prevented both Leeds goals

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

RDZ not happy at the end. Throwing water bottles about.

 

[horshamite]

Well we gained one point more than mighty Liverpool did at Bournemouth.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Disappointed with Steele today. No chance on first with the deflection but didn't like the look of the second and not much else to do. Our touch before a shot always seems to let us down and as a result attacks and shots turn out a bit limp at the critical moment.

Take the point and move on with Europa battle (plus the cup) but feel like C.L. contention has gone in the past few games.

 

[LamieRobertson]

We scored two.

I didn’t see Sanchez throw the ball in the net

 

[Swansman]

That was a flawed performance in many ways. Not a lot of the boys can be happy with their performance today.

Dont quite get why Sarmiento / Buonanotte / Enciso were stuck on the bench all game.

 

[rebel51]

A point gained for me, was never going to be easy

 

[Triggaaar]

Winning at home and drawing away is famously enough to win the league.

You're a bit out of touch if you think 76 points will still win you the league

If you can't see how Leeds had a defensive game plan against us today, and how it worked, then it's probably a shame that there will be no analyses on MOTD tonight...

It didn't work, we scored 2 against them, and should have scored more.

 

[dangull]

They kept doing the same corner routine, with 2 players outnumbering the 1 defender. It looked dangerous and eventually a costly equaliser.
Overall, it feels like 2 points dropped like Palace and the Fulham defeat. Could have been much closer to the champions league 4th spot if luck and poor finishing had been different.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

V frustrating. The game was so open at 1-2, and we really should have put it to bed then. Both their goals well taken but soft. To be fair to Leeds, they don’t stop running and I’m surprised they didn’t start with Gnoto. Anyway, as others have said, to go there, get a point and feel very disappointed is kind of a new feeling. Now let’s turn our focus to Wednesday when we are owed several after their luck over the last few games. I have a feeling it will be a memorable and fantastic night to be an Albion fan…

 

[Napper]

Get colwill in asap . Webster gives away too much . Accident waiting to happen

Beat palace and all is well

Teams that sit off us eh !!

 

[Triggaaar]

Pretty impressive to score twice in a 1-1 draw

Still true

 

[Icy Gull]

2 points dropped. Steel only made 1 save all game, their 2 other shots would have been easily saved with better positioning. Passing wasn't good enough and we lacked something up top.

Mostly agree but Koch took MacAllister out at least three times and don’t think he got booked. It was a good but incredibly frustrating game

 

[LamieRobertson]

Still unbeaten away from home since last October….not to be sniffed at …plus a touch of reality

As we get better and our reputation grows, expect to see similar performances like this against us... just like all the other top teams experience, who also drop points in this kind of fixture.

It's not that we played badly, at all, it's just they were set out to stop us - and it largely worked. We would have won if it weren't for two goals that, to be honest, we should have defended against better.

Genuinely, what defensive game plan? Explain to me what they did? They sat deep and played on the counter, but they didn’t do it well, a team like Brentford for example away did it to us perfectly and we didn’t create much at all, Leeds were crap defensively.

We could have scored 6 or 7 and that’s no exaggeration, if a team give away that many chances they certainly haven’t defended well, we were just extremely wasteful.

That being said, we also defended poorly and made the game more complicated by giving away possession in dangerous areas over and over again.

Don't worry, he'll be out for another three months now...
