[Albion] Olympique de Marseille vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[BHA Fan93]

He has, is and always will be a below PL standard shot stopper. The stats show it, watching him shows it and multiple goals he concedes show it.

Absolutely crazy.

 

[Mancgull]

Should have scored one of those.

If you have virgin channel 527

No virgin…. What’s the point of the commentary if we can’t listen to it in UK?
I’m watching on BT Sport, but would like to listen to Warren! Lol

 

[WhingForPresident]

Mitoma, Welbeck and Dahoud off at HT for Adingra, Joao Pedro and Baleba please.

Unlucky Welbz

Which bit of not passing to an unmarked player 4 yards to your left was unlucky

 

[Simster]

Men v Boys

This post is 15 minutes out of date.

Not convinced we can't cut them open ourselves a few times here.

 

[Sheebo]

Well at least they didn’t get the corner thanks to VAR. Advantage us I say.

That was surely wrong. You can’t use VAR for free kicks. If he didn’t think it was a pen it’s a corner. Inept beyond words. Used the VAR sign and everything

 

[The Fits]

Just awful. Another 45 we'll be seeing as our worst for years, maybe the fourth or fifth in a row. Teams simply have our number and want it more and this notion of scoring more than the opposition whilst giving them lots of chances is totally undermining whatever we are trying to achieve. Such a shame.

 

[Reddleman]

Against Chelsea a simple square pass and we score, same as tonight. RDZ should be ripping them a new one

 

[pb21]

Time for De Zerbi to earn his salt.

 

[Mackenzie]

Not out of this yet

 

[dstanman]

Keep the faith, we still got another 45mins

What happened to our big balls?

Marseille have looked sharper, stronger, fitter, more confident and more determined.

We have looked negative, nervous, lightweight and unambitious.

We have looked slightly better after the conceded goals, though.

They clearly have a quality shot stopper between their sticks. We don't. Steele very much at fault for the second, with Dunk - very poor goalkeeping from a very poor shot stopper.

Great effort from Fati with his header, but an even better save. Welbeck should have done better with his effort, but again, good goalkeeping from them.

We have very much reached our low point under RDZ. We're in poor form. Many predicted this would happen with the pressures of European football and it has.

I don't think we will turn this around... but we could. We need to be positive, as Marseille's weakness is their defense. If we play at our best we could win this - but we're not at our best at the moment, nowhere near.

Next goal could be massive. Bring on the 2nd half.

 

[Eric the meek]

I can't work out what is wrong. I hope RDZ can at half time.

 

[The Wizard]

All the goals we concede are the same, ball played down the side and squared back to players, Villa was the same, so much space down the sides.

We are being exposed massively for our lack of physicality, look at this team… it’s great technically but weak all over the pitch.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Could be 2-2 easily, but weve been awful. No movement up top. Similar to first half v Villa.

 

[southstandandy]

Where's the reaction RDZ said we'd get after the Villa debacle?

 

[Krafty]

I mean what were we even expecting?

We lost to the worst team in the group at HOME
And got thumped by Villa 6-1, we are so so sh*t!!!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Funny how form ebbs and flows. Mitoma had spent a year looking like one I'd the best players the PL has ever seen yet tonight can barely do a thing right. Wonder what's in his head?

 

[Greenbag50]

Poor at the back, no middle, poor up front. Shit set pieces as per usual.

This….. send to all sub editors and pundits as game summary……
Counts for rest of season as well…. Especially soft in the middle part
