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

[zefarelly]

Q: Who's the fastest riunner

Ben Johnson

James Milner

(some of our younger viewers won't remember)

 

[macbeth]

thankfully all okay but there could easily have been a nasty collision there between steele and johnson. why on earth are linos are not allowed to flag when the player is blatantly offside, as evidenced by the replay? how seriously does someone have to get hurt before the footballing authorities take their head out their arse

 

[Mike Small]

Seems our tactic is to get the expectant West Ham fans annoyed. They're used to Moyes ball.

Obviously missing Mitoma and Sami (and the others!) who would help against a side that sit in but we're still too narrow. Hinshelwood and Pervis need to provide more width further upfront. Gross and Goodnight getting in each others way. Milner being our most direct players says it all really. Come on lads we can do it.

Thought it was an 8pm KO, missed the first 20mins

How have we looked?

We’ve looked like we thought we were kicking off at 8pm too

West Ham make Everton look cultured

 

[maltaseagull]

has welbeck touched the ball in the first 15 minutes?

Yes

I've been having trouble staying awake in recent days, the Chaos of Christmas and new year. This match is not helping matters.

 

[chickens]

All the possession, no real threat. Feel like there’s an inevitable sucker punch somewhere on the horizon.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I assume there's a protocol (that they don't always follow).

Really missing a pacy outlet. Having Mitoma, March, Fati, Enciso, and Adingra all injured is a ridiculous situation.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Great save from Steele but he was offside anyway

 

[Mancgull]

Ok, offside, but what a good save.

 

[Hendrax]

offside, but a good stop from Steele that.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Great save - even if offside

 

[GoingUp]

Some of his best work is dragging defenders away and making space for others.

 

[Mancgull]

Ok, offside, but what a good save.

And again

 

[Mike Small]

Can someone tell this lot to not start playing once we go 1 down! Palace all over again.

 

[Si Gull]

Another good save from Steele. We're worryingly quiet atm.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Another good stop from Steele. Need to ride this out.
