[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[junior]

Anyone know why Bjon Hamberg is in charge and not Billy Reid?

Poor first half. Giving the ball away every time we have possession.

 

[Si Gull]

Poor half of football overall. Leicester shaded it but largely due to us losing/giving away possession too easily. Maupay not at the races. Happy to go in level and hope for better second half.

 

[Hendrax]

HT 0-0.

Pretty sloppy form us for large parts, gifting Leicester chance after chance. Fortunately, they've been wasteful in front of goal.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Very much in this but one of the most sloppiest performances I have seen, how many times have we given away possession this half?

I don’t see any forced changes but a bollocking might be in order

What a contrast from Tuesday first half. We don't seem to be able to click together today.

Thta's the nature of football. Hard to be at 100% all the time. Plenty of room for improvement though so I'm still optimistic.

 

[jimhigham]

Maupay’s first touch seems to have deserted him in both this match and when he came on against Chelsea.

Alzate also made two consecutive runs where he plays the ball too far ahead and loses possession.

Odd first half. Not actually bad as such but definitely a little sloppy. Still very much in this and the three points are there to be taken.

 

[Wardy's twin]

This is exactly why we need another striker this window. When Maupay is not in form, we need an option. Welbeck wasn’t great against Chelsea so I can see why Neal got the start but we need another option up front.

Agreed but I think that's why Ferguson should be there because he knows the style and ok one game against lower opposition but looked good against WBA.

Tested positive for covid overnight

He has Covid too.

I was wondering the same

Lookman is an irritating little shit, as is Maddison

 

[stss30]

Happy to get to half time all square, they look more threatening and we’ve given away possession in bad areas a lot more than usual. Nothing’s really clicked in the final third either with Maupay continuing his poor form from the Chelsea game - would hope we’ll see Welbeck sooner rather than later

Bjorn to earn his money with his half time team talk

 

[macbeth]

I'll take 0-0, we were on the back foot for a lot of that half because we kept giving the ball away, however positives are good shape defensively and trossard and cucurella both look up for it. one or two others need to get their act together in the second half though

A Zoom bollocking...

Liverpool are doing their part in making the afternoon a good one.

 

[B-right-on]

Jeez, that half was as bad as vs Chelsea was good.

Indeed they need to be Bjorn again

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It seems the ball is kicking up at funny angles, happening for both teams. Can't blame Maupay for all of the misplaced passes....although he's not helped himself with his pass selection
