[Albion] The best we’ve ever played?

[tonyt]

As I was leaving last night a bloke said to me “that was the best I’ve ever seen us play”.
Was it though?

 

[Weststander]

I’m not sure.

But Albion 3-0 Spuds was a 90 minute masterclass.

 

[Monkey Man]

The grumpy and mostly silent bloke next to me last night (who I initially suspected was Chelsea) mumbled half way through the second half that it was like watching Brazil.

I thought we were superb all evening. Best we've played? On a technical level, perhaps. Of course there have been games and results, and performances, that have mattered to us far more.

Can't be the best we've ever played if we only drew and had two shots on target !

We looked better than Man City in the Champions League final.

Thread re-opened.

We were very good but I think we played even better in the match at Stamford Bridge. We were also outstanding at Liverpool.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Through the defence and midfield, possibly yes.

Up front, certainly not

 

[RM-Taylor]

No, not even the best we've played this season.

 

[Is it PotG?]

We were also outstanding at Liverpool.

2nd half.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Absolutely not. Did Kepa make a save?

Great game though. Fun to watch too.

If we discount goal scoring and just concentrate on how we moved the ball and the closing down and taking up positions, then yes.

I am loving the number of back heels the players are now pulling off too

I actually thought that the performance away at Chelsea last month was the best that I personally have ever seen from a Brighton team. Last night was very good but not quite at that level of performance…

To say that I’m disappointed with only taking 2 points from 2 games with Chelsea when we were well worth 6 points is absolutely bonkers… absolutely loving this time in our history and don’t want it to ever end…. However we are Brighton so you know what’s coming……..

I think so, Chelsea played well as well.

 

[Dibdab]

Thought second half at Anfield was better and Chelsea away. We need to really take these performances into games with bottom half teams and finally rip somoene a new one.

Mumbled?

MUMBLED?

Must have been Chelsea, we used to sing that loud.

The Man City home win will take some beating as a performance despite them being 10 men. I recall the heatmap showing most of the team camped in their half!

 

[Oscar]

No but I can rarely recall a time where a Brighton team have played so well as consistently as this, week-in-week out, as all the pundits say.

 

[Pondicherry]

It was probably the best we have played considering the players that were not available.

Yep, this or the Spurs 3-0 as [MENTION=21158]Weststander[/MENTION] mentioned. Both games yielded 3 points and 3 goals and we were outstanding in both.

We were very good last night at the back, physically, in ball retention and effort and there were some lovely deft touches but we created better chances against Leeds and Palace (and didn't take them).

Whenever you discuss this you also have to take into account quality of opponent because probably our best home performance in the Amex era was under Poyet putting six past Blackpool but, of course, this current side has far better players playing far stronger opponents.

I was going to say Liverpool. The fact that we had the confidence to get ourselves back into that game away against a team that was on fire and had won its previous 2 league games 5-0, one of which was at Old Trafford, was something special.
