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

[tigertim68]

RDZ should walk after this. Sat on the bench doing f*** all. Generally being a prick in press conferences and post match interviews and has a face like a slapped arse.
For some reason he seems to have given up and doesn't give a f*** anymore. And now it's finally rubbed off on the players.

I expect him to be gone in the summer
no support from the board

 

[B-right-on]

RDZ looks shell shocked

 

[AlexBH]

Imagine going to worst town in the whole of the UK in the worst ground ever in the Premier League to watch us get thrashed on a cold Tuesday night against a pub team near an airport. F*ck me that is grim!

Bloody hell

Look at Luton closing us down in our box, still, after 75 mins. Not just us being crap, they have played a blinder and we haven't worked out how to deal with it.

Agreed.

There's a bit of #TeamsLikeLuton going on in this thread and it's a pretty poor showing.

Newcastle found some form, was going to happen.

Maybe taken your own advice and walk?

If I was RDZ I’d also practice passing to outlet own players and not giving it away

1-5 Everton was a freak because we were playing brilliantly in the league.

Villa was a freak because, although not playing brilliantly, we’d got decent results at the start of the season in the league.

This is just the cumulation of being utter shit for weeks on end, not investing, no plan B tactic, our team being far too nice and the rest of the Premier League working out how to beat us. Worrying.

Agree.

Anybody that wants a refund for a football ticket because they didn’t get the performance or result they wanted needs to take a look at themselves. Tickets in the away end tonight could have been sold several times over. Maybe stand aside and let others buy the tickets next time.

The players could do themselves a favour and pay all the fans back that went tonight. Won’t cost them much, and really they ought to be ashamed. Problem is, I fully expect round 2 on Saturday and that’s a much bigger crowd!!

They're not a pub team though. They've been improving all season, have had some close games - and have played bloody well tonight, regardless of us.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Palace 3-2 now

 

[BevBHA]

Agreed.

It’s not a poor showing to say we’re better than them on paper. Not a single one of their players get in our team. But they’ve wanted it far far more than us

Durham saying something about the trains cancelled back to Brighton

 

[Krafty]

Lose to Palace and hell breaks loose.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Sounds like a shocker on the pitch, but at least posters on NSC haven't lost all sense of perspective.

Oh...

West Ham at home was interesting. Estupinan gave up defending from opening whistle, he played the 90 it seemed 70 yards upfield. Moyes couldn’t believe his luck.

Last season’s best LB gave up being a defender. BEFORE they scored.

I’d love to know if that was instructions, or Estupinan was as thick as **** and disobeyed instructions.

Isn’t it the way we play, we commit players upfield regardless of the match situation. Pervis was AWOL for that critical second goal tonight. It’s obvious tonight we needed a tin hat for at least the first 45 but RDZ will always back his players to take risks.

On some days it will go badly wrong. Tonight is one of those days. That’s all. There is a very good chance we are not as good as last season but that’s down to losing key players in the market and to injury

Should have got a plane to Malaga......schoolboy error!

 

[Mancgull]

De Zerbi’s comments after the game will be very interesting.
If he takes responsibility and says he got it wrong, then fair enough.
If however, as I think may happen, he starts to make excuses and complain about recruitment then I think that’s unacceptable.

Palace winning
