[Albion] Luton Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[NorthstandRacoon]

I think that’ll be in his next job with a proper squad, cover in every position, proper strikers in form.

Second half against Wolves I thought we were outclassed and offered little, I sat there cold and bored senseless.

This season, the highs are EL, Pedro, Hinshelwood, Igor, JPVH, Gross and a few magnificent wins. But also a lot of frustrating meh.

Can’t disagree with some if that tbh

 

[Mancgull]

Is this worse than Everton last season? It feels up (down) there.

Yes it is, as at least then we have a spell when we had a go at them.
Today we’ve been out fought and out played for the whole game.

 

[brightn'ove]

Really don’t understand what we are doing. We boot it long and nobody pushes up, Luton are free to nod the ball down and start another wave of attack. What has happened to our pressing ability?

 

[Mike Small]

Do any of this lot give a f***? This is way beyond shameful.

The fact we have set up in the exact same way we did in the first half suggests RDZ also couldn't give a f***.

We have used the great tactic though of blasting the ball upfield to Lamptey. Tactically great that. tried it 3 times.

 

[Easy 10]

By far the earliest I've EVER bailed on a game, either live or on TV. Just cannot hack it. Its switched off, and I'm making some beans on toast. Will check the damage later.

Its all about the reaction now. We need to take this out on the filth.

 

[BrickTamland]

The game might be rubbish but the NSC meltdown has made the evening more entertaining

 

[martin tyler]

Least Baleba is trying - TV just spun to a gloomy looking Bloom.
I love the recruitment generally speaking. But you do need some PL ready players sometimes especially key positions. CM we are light in quality and numbers and it shows tonight.
We certainly can’t play the way we are wanting to without wingers.

 

[fruitnveg]

This just gets better

 

[AlexBH]

When it’s good it’s good, but when it’s bad it’s bad. This is a shocking result.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

On a performance such as you have to wonder if there's something happening behind the scenes ?

 

[Ethelwulf]

The game might be rubbish but the NSC meltdown has made the evening more entertaining

Meltdown we are losing 4-0 to Luton !!!

 

[Quebec Seagull]

I think it's more a team desperate for a result, and a team drifting to mid table and having concentration on europe and FA Cup.
Just a one off disastrous performance, I think

Look no further than West Ham last season.

.

 

[Washie]

The problem isn't just 3 points tonight. It's that we've told the rest of the PL we're really not very good. There will be consequences.

Except that the PL have already figured it out. Both West Ham and Wolves know how to stop us. Villa tore us to f***ing pieces, all played the same tactic.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Tony looking worried, going to be on the phone to Leicester tomorrow - "how much for that K D-H fella you say?"

I think he was probably thinking shit I’d better reign in my horse racing plans and put my football house in order

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Commentators said he is just sat on the bench sulking while Edwards is up and down the touchline screaming instructions.

If he's that fed up, he needs to walk.

Yeah obv watching same stream, that is a disgusting attitude. But Bloom needs to take stock too, his lack if activity this window is shocking, have to change our model sometimes and rdz is the right manager to do if for, speaks volumes in my book.

 

[trueblue]

I suspect De Zerbi will now walk and I wouldn't blame him. He's hardly been backed in the transfer market.

Which other club would provide a production line of superb youngsters? Unless he goes to one of the super-rich clubs, he’d hardly be better off. Might have more say over who he wants, and then he can sign more players like Dahoud.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

We’ve got super Rob De Zerbi
He ain’t got no plan B
Sloppy in attack
Shit house at the back
Steele stands still like a tree

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I blame their narrow pitch.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Shit happens. This is raw sewage in the river/sea proportions.

 

[Zeberdi]

Something has gone very wrong hasn’t it - not to take anything away from Luton but we have made it a real team effort in looking shit.

RDZ sitting down for most of this says it all. I feel sorry for our lads - Luton are real bruisers. One could imagine the half time pep talk in our dressing room. ‘Make it to full time with no injuries and 11 men because that is the sort of match it is - nothing else matters’

TB looking completely shell-shocked in the stands.
