[Albion] Our passing today...

[dingodan]

...Was a joy to watch at times.

The tightest of spaces, the smallest of gaps, short, quick, forward, and somehow the ball seemed to always stick even when blasted in to feet.

Some of our football today was absolutely beautiful.

 

[Machiavelli]

Agreed. We were really inventive despite playing with ten men for over an hour.

Shame the finishing couldn't get anywhere near the passing standard

Sounds a great match to watch.

Let me know which team it was and I’ll join you there next week.

Thumbs down.

A loss, be it with everything to still believe, is a loss, and it will bring out the trolls. Thought, considering 2/3rds of a game with 10 men, our positiveness shone through. Passing was accurate and crisp and we didn't revert to 4-4-1 when idiot was sent off. I am enjoying the football so far, but boy is it so frustrating when daylight robbery from that other south coast club is committed on our patch.

Ain't that the truth. Saw a comment on some Brighton facebaok page that said "same shit different season"

 

[Hugo Rune]

Potterball was sublime. The attacking intent was so good to see. We should’ve got 6 instead of 1 from the hammers and stains so when as we start to PANIC?

Why would you reduce your forwards from 3 to 1?

 

[goldstone]

We could so easily have been sitting up there with Liverpool on 9 points. Desperately need to practice shooting, but overall the football is indeed sublime. As for Andone? Less said the better, but he is an idiot.

 

[Bodian]

Some of Stephens' through balls were exquisite I thought. You wondered 'what's he doing', then realised.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Because I remember our previous manager and the set up he would have gone for.

 

[B-right-on]

We still had 51% possession and as many shots as they did. Andone apart, things just didn't fall for us today. On another day we'd win that game. Frustrating for sure.

Agree ! We look purposeful going forward, Propper is a different player than last season ! Every player when on the ball is looking for that incisive pass, players not on the ball are wanting it, to man they all want to attack.

Ok we got beat today, but we got beat playing football, trying to be adventurous.

So different from last season!

We will be ok !

I’m tempted to go large on us beating City !!

A Hyypia like tendency to drop points when we should have done better!

Yes this has the makings of a Hyypia. Nice pretty passing but their keeper did not have one serious save to make all game from what I can remember.

 

[Nixonator]

All I remember was the most ineffective 3 substitutions in a game for a long time.

 

[Lurker]

I agree our passing was good today, it was also good against West Ham, and although I didn't attend the Watford game I believe it was equally good that day as well.

Sadly, our shooting was woeful today, it was equally poor against West Ham .... (I don't know about Watford).

Watching Match of the Day tonight it struck me how many of the teams that won scored with good shots from range.
Did we get a single shot on target today?
I don't remember it if we did.

Mr Potter needs to have them practicing shooting a bit more I feel.

12 shots each, we had 3 on target, they had 4. Doesn't take a genius to find that stat.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

To many people on here just absolutely need to find a reason to moan at our first defeat of the campaign, a game that we basically ran while the Scummers went home giggling like little schoolgirls knowing they stole a win.

I've searched my memory banks ... can't recall the 3 on target, but I'm happy to concede I'm wrong?
Can you enlighten me as to which shots they were?

Locadia hitting the post is off target, so that isn't one of them.
I genuinely can't recall one, let alone three, so maybe you can cheer me up a little by jogging my memory?
