Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[bladdered]

I'm in Turkey at the moment and only good thing about the game was a 2 for 1 beer promotion at the bar. The shuttle bus last year in Istanbul was more enjoyable!

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Bit worrying now , it's not just the defeats it's how we are losing, 10 goals conceded in four games.

And only scoring 1 a game

 

[MMA]

Never thought I’d see the day Brighton had more inspiring subs than us when I see oriley and pedro come on I knew we were snookered

Teams have caught up to us.

Injuries or not.

It's taken time for opposing teams to catch up with player recruitment and tactics but they've done it.

Full fit 11 for us yes we are still amazing , but the fact is after a couple of seasons the oppo have found a way.

 

[bondsman]

It's not the end of the world people, we've lost 2 league games, plenty of games left

It’s the manner of defeat I think that’s the issue. Do we have players good enough or hungry enough as we used to have?

 

[dadnlad]

Thought we played better than I thought we would given the team.

Simpson-Pusey didn’t really well and was out best defender.

Kovacic was really good too.

Lick our wounds, patch up our injured and see where we are in March.

turned into walking football again

 

[ysmsa]

Nasri was a lazy **** but he was 100x the player Nunes is.

Rick Holden too :-)

He's so fucking soft, terrible temperament for a top PL side player.

Fuck him off to Saudi as soon as the window opens

 

[Blumooniac]

Jesus wept. Some kind of ungrateful, collective madness has descended on this place. We're in the middle of an injury crisis and having a wobble. Have you forgotten what we have achieved? Some of you don't deserve this club. CTID.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

I don’t get how we can play so shit in the second half after a pretty good first half like we did mid week. Hopefully a few players may be back or fitter for the spuds game.

 

[I'm Blue]

I'm still positive on our league winning credentials, but Walker needs removing from the squad

He’s been appalling.
Sadly with the injuries he’s having to play.

 

[SamBlue]

So sad, but it was coming. We need right back next season

Like watching two holograms, but I am not sure they are reason we've been so bad this season. There has been something of an overachieving team about us the whole season, that was just waiting to go into spiral. And into the spiral we have gone.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Felt like watching a re-run of Tuesday. Totally dominant first half hour, should have been 2 or 3 up and game over.

Give them a bit of encouragement towards end of first half and then aelf destructed again.

Mentally weak at the moment when things go against us, only one winner as soon as that first went in.

Substitutions had exactly the opposite affect that we needed. KdB - sad to watch at the moment, an absolute shadow. Hopefully the 2 week break now gets some fitness into him and he can start making a positive difference.

I think any half decent team with a bit of nous about them will beat us at the moment.

Could get worse before it gets better unfortunately, Spurs and Liverpool up next and both have the players to absolutely exploit our current weaknesses quite easily.

The start of the second half was just like midweek, we absolutely shit the bed and allowed them onto us, it was inevitable, chance after chance after chance

 

[blueabdi]

Nah, time to go. We need change. I’ve watched City for 50 years mate, he’s been here 10. The whole set up needs a new broom.

I can see your frustration. But the guy has enough credit in the bank. Lets not show weak mentality, we are still on the race.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Lewis shite, should have been pulled form starting line up a long time ago.

Walker, absolute disgrace, embarrassment to our armband.

Phil, what has happened?

Gundo, say no more, I could play better having had an ACL a few weeks ago.

Bernie, over the hill.

That’ll do for now.

 

[phargrave]

Tottenham
Dutch champs
Liverpool
Forest
Palace
Rags
Villa

Doesn’t get easier. Good chance we’ll be out of the title race by the end of this run of games. Can see us beating Palace. That’s about it!

1/7 then…

 

[bernard o'silver]

How the fuck is a united advert for alternative merchandise/tee shirts allowed on this site !!!! Anyone else see it or just me ??

 

[bondsman]

I cant remember a time when we have had so many first teamers out? What is it 6?

That is mental but I’m not sure even if fit they’re the players they were KDB and Walker sadly arent

 

[silvathechihuahua]

We've got injuries? I mean we're playing players who are not fully used to those moments of pressure, we crumble. Stones, Ake wouldnt. I really think it’s that simple. Oh, and Haaland missing lots.

What did haaland miss today? What are you on about?

 

[Bald fraud]

We might actually be missing Rodri just as much OFF the pitch as we do on it. There is no leader in the dressing room to crack some skulls. Watch Rodri in the documentaries, he cares, he’s a winner, a leader, and he’ll do whatever it takes to drag us out of this. He wouldn’t have allowed it to get this bad to begin with.

Spot on! We could really do with him in the dressing room at the minute!

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Fuck off rednapp sympathy for Lewis bollocke if he cannot play left back don’t play him there ffs

You’re a glutton for punishment, watching the post match!

 

[beehive_bob]

Can understand the criticism of Walker but can't work out what position he was supposed to play, right back or centre half? The ease with which Brighton exposed that flank and without us being able to address it. Akanji?
