[Albion] When was the last time a team quite so obviously gave up...

[Stat Brother]

... under the sheer weight of Albion teamwork?

Jnr is adamant we've seen it before, but can't remember.
I, naturally just can't remember, but find it hard to believe any team just gave up, like West Ham today


Certainly not gave up to the point where 2 players are allowed to fudge around with their passing stats and still not be on the end of a 'reducer'.

 

[Timbo]

That was quite remarkable. Not even sure what two players it was but there was a mass exodus from the away end when that happened. I think I’d have been the same.

On a semi-related note, Ben Johnson today (their RB) looked like a competition winner. Like Cucurella or Harding, he looked a broken man, desperate to be anywhere but on the Amex pitch. I actually started feeling a bit sorry for him. They were all shocking to a man, but he’ll be having nightmares of Mitoma and Pervis running past him for years.

That time we scored 8 in the cup. Was it Northwich Victoria, but no not in premier league

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Wolves

 

[Shooting Star]

Yep, they had completely capitulated by the closing stages. Must have been thoroughly demoralised by just how brilliant we are.

 

[Muzzman]

Norwich in the Championship was fun, that was a promotion rival giving up.

Brighton, last three games of the 2016/2017 season ?

What do you mean by this!? What happened?

Man utd end of last season. They completly gave up and we played them off the park.

Same score as well I believe..

See I remember that one as the keeper having a nightmare

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

It reminded me of every time we played Newcastle under Steve Bruce.

 

[jcdenton08]

What do you mean by this!? What happened?

Groß and Caicedo were literally stood in the centre circle playing 5 yard first time passes to each other at 3-0. I think they did about six in a row - the nearest West Ham player was at the park and ride I think.

I’d absolutely love a GIF of this.

 

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Charlton, about 1984? When we beat them 7:0? (I was there)

Nah, I give up.

 

[Stat Brother]

What do you mean by this!? What happened?

Moises and Pascal stood in the centre circle, a couple of yards apart, just kicking the ball to each other.
West Ham just stood there and as said at no point after did any of them do a 'Richarlison'.
A sure sign of going up.

 

[jcdenton08]

Us at home to Stoke(?) under McGhee at Withdean. Lost about 0-5 I think and the players looked hungover.

Ah I see! Thanks

 

[Guinness Boy]

Wolves

Yup. I’d add Blackpool when we had Poyet in charge

That was magic. Laughing my socks off when that happened

Nah, I give up.

I thought we gave up on that one - weren't we 5-0 up at half time?
