Spot on mate, exactly what we said in the ground.
Also let’s not give those spotty herberts the credit they desperately seek.

Agreed. Quite surprised he didn’t get booked.

Completely agree! I would say why is Gross in starting eleven in the first place! Baffling!
He’s been a faithful servant to the club over many seasons now but with Caicedo and Sarmiento waiting in the wings his time must almost be up. Nothing newsworthy there, as there’s been an entire thread in it. Disappointing as tonight’s performance was, he’s well in credit.
Yes Gross did a poor penalty, but there's a flare just been thrown at you, that's still going off a few meters from the goal.
How has the ref concluded everything is fine, and safe, and to play on?
Because he is sensible, and not a whining fan looking for excuses.

At least 3 players should’ve been ahead of Gross to take it. I don’t care if he’s scored 122 pens in training this week. You DO NOT put a rusty, out of form player on a pen like that.
If Maupay had blasted that into row z I’d have accepted it. But that miss was just so obviously going the happen.

You'd like to think the stewards would have access to a good old-fashioned fire bucket or something, instead of just letting the flare burn away merrily at the side of the pitch while the penalty gets taken. Where's the joined-up thinking?

I thought he was taken off pens because he’d missed a few?
Can’t remember to be honest. I would guess his record is probably 8 out of 10 ish which is fine, you can’t score them all.
There were so many phones lit up by Palace fans when the penalty was being taken I assumed they thought they were at a Coldplay concert.

As I e said before potter chose the starting line up which included gross . Would of already been decided that he would take it
Our spot kicks record in the prem on the whole have been a behind the sofa watch . And that’s all down to potter and coaching or lack of practice

I actually quite liked the flare. It's a bit old skool and football is becoming to bland and sterile for my liking with everyone being outraged at the slightest break from the centre line.
Flares and toilet rolls should be brought back.

Agree with this, lots of comments yet and there’s been flares at most Brighton away games this season….or the ones we’ve actually scored in!

Pretty sure he missed his last pen against West Brom away. Baffling he was given it considering how many others have scored one since.
