[Albion] West Ham United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[kevo]

If only Trossard could remember how to shoot - he seems to have lost the ability that he showed in early season

Scored a good goal against Villa?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Even when we were shite in this match, Muzza gave us a presence up front, their CB’s did not have it all their own way as others have had against Maupay/Connolly, it helped push them back as he had support.

Has to start against Watford.

Elated that he got a PL goal, an equaliser.

This.
It’s our own fault for not replacing him, but we need a more physical presence.

Trossard’s finishing was poor, his interplay and skill on the ball was a different class. West Ham were terrified of him

Wouldn’t be in my team (away)......

Incidentally:

65% possession
19 shots

And we were crap.....

West Ham must be atrocious [emoji2]

Removing Antonio when they were 3-1 up is right up there with worst substitutions in history.

 

[borat]

Going forward, please please drop Stephens and move Mooy inside

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Baffling

I take it back made all the difference

Thought March looked a lot more confident on the ball.

Seemed to be the missing link, dropping short for the ball and also able to take people on

[WATFORD zero]

Appreciate he scored the quick free kick at Anfield when the wall and keeper were not set up, but he never looks remotely like scoring with any standard free kick from 20-30 yards when the wall is set up. Surely Moot, Gross and March are better bets for starters.

He does do that 'knuckleball' type free kick quite well, but they tend to be fairly straight and I always think that the best chance from one of those is if the keeper spills it and someone quick like Connolly or Maupay are there for the rebound.

Crap? I bloody loved the game, we had zero luck again in the first half and did not deserve to be 2-0 down. Second half was better than ANY away game last season for me. We looked Class in our one touch passing. As we have said all season different strokes for different folks.

West Ham became crap because we scared them shitless and they conceded the sort of goal we specialise in conceding.

Albion playing without fear, I’m in heaven

Great interview with Potter on bbc Sussex. Worth a listen on catch up. Final whistle about 30 minutes in.

 

[Stat Brother]

How 'toxic' was atmosphere at The Olympic Stadium for the first 70 minutes, when compared with the last 20?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

If only Trossard could shoot

Or look up ?

Add terrific off the ball movement to that list.

We are awful at the back,that it's a big problem. We can't defend set pieces, that is a big problem. We look good when we're on top, but need 2 goals minimum to get anything from a game, that is a big problem.

Games aren't won on shots + possession.

 

[Sorrel]

That was a bit of a roller-coaster... I said I was happy with a point at the start and shouldn't really complain with that at the end.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I can’t be arsed to go through 83 pages or whatever. Did anyone have a decent tantrum when we were 3-1 down? I’m thinking [MENTION=30242]spence[/MENTION]

Watched at my mate’s on a stream. West Ham always seemed flakey with the exception of Antonio and Snodgrass. Let them break far too much on us in the first half. Shutting that door and having our possession further up made all the difference (as well as March and Greyhound coming on). In the end quite gutted we didn’t win, and if Trossard could finish we would have.

Don’t have to tell me. I’ve commented all season on the quality of goals we concede.

IMO Webster is a big problem, Montoya struggles if in a physical battle, perhaps Lamptey should be given a go....

That was a sarcastic crap [emoji2]. First half wasn’t great....

Iain Dowie looks the missing link.
