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

[One Teddy Maybank]

Maupay has been excellent. The ball to Moder was sublime.

Excellent is strong, offered little and a poor miss……. But what a great pass, hopefully gained some confidence, as he’s all we have.

 

[RandyWanger]

Brighton just adding to those passing stats at the end of the first half

 

[A1X]

I’d like to criticise this first half performance but we were bottom of the football league a quarter of a century ago so Graham says I’m not allowed to.

 

[jcdenton08]

Really?

Think he’s the pick of our players, always available uses the ball intelligently

Yeah, I've spotted three occasions he's been caught up field, and they have attacked down our left in the gap he left. They hit the bar from one of them. Lost the ball from a few headers and passed it out of play twice. Just not his usual standard today.

 

[raymondo]

We're not enjoying this press from WHU

 

[London Irish]

If you can't see how we're playing well then you're following the wrong sport.

The difference is a set piece for them, and a lack of a striker for us.

The sport you need to watch is ice skating - plenty of marks for artistic merit there. Have some humility eh, the issue with your idol’s approach is being laid out for you graphically here and if you still don’t get it - I guess you never will

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Blimey, didn't realise that WHU paid 31.5 mill for Zouma

It was the stash of porn mags that sealed the deal.

Maupay has been excellent. The ball to Moder was sublime.

That was an excellent pass and he’s having a good game. But to say excellent he’d have to have hit the target or perhaps, dare I say after Leeds, actually score?

 

[Bodian]

I actually think it's quite a good game.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Well that was predictable ........ lots of passes, couple of good misses and let in a goal from a corner!

 

[maltaseagull]

If you can't see how we're playing well then you're following the wrong sport.

That's a new slant on the problem.

Such a shame the club doesn't seem to agree.

Grow up!

 

[andys320]

But it's the complete lack of efficiency, skill and guile in front of goal. Him and Maupay just side foot it and hope. The aim is not to kick it at the goal keeper. Moder either does that or blasts it over. Thought that was a really poor effort and not a hard one even if Fabianski will be pleased with his save. So frustrating. Maybe he'll move on to the next stage of his development like Trossard and hit the woodwork every time.

Certainly wouldn't say Moder lacks skill.

Frustrating he didn't score, as live, I thought here's the equalizer.

On review I thought Fabianski remained big, made it more difficult for him, more good goal keeping than bad finishing.

But yes, I am frustrated.

 

[nordicgod]

Same old brighton just taking the peas

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Still in this.

We have dominated them this half.

Straight at them from the off.

Concerned we only have one sub left, praying it’s Lamptey

 

[The Fits]

Great game. Still in it. So frustrating to give away such a pathetic goal. Well done to anyone who had money on Soucek to score- a bit of a gimmie in hindsight.

 

[portslade seagull]

Looks like we could play till midnight and not trouble the keeper. Normal service is sadly resuming.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Boooooooooooooooooo

 

[scoobiewhite]

Moder just simply had to finish that and then so does Dunk a minute later. Their confidence is absolutely gone.

I’m sure all the positivity from our super supportive fan base has really helped in that regard

 

[1066familyman]

What an absolute peach of a ball that was from Maupay to Moder! Pretty much took 5 players out of the game.

Moder should be finishing that off though.
