Brighton (A) - Post-Match Thread

It might be shite, but it’s the rules.

So if player stood offside is near the dead ball line and he crosses it back to a player who scores are you saying that’s 2nd phase as it’s gone backwards?

The archetypal game of two halves, Clive. But hey; job done. Pocket the three points and move on.

Great interview by Potter, beaten by a better side. After a performance like that in the second half many managers would spin it different.

Very good coach getting near the maximum out of his side, Newcastle should definitely be going for Potter

If we had been awarded that penalty we probably would have broken the internet and the PL would now be in an emergency meeting to change the rules :)-

We can excuse the second half performance given lead at halftime and the fact that their were some tired legs from midweek, Brighton found more energy and intensity after changing the system. They were pretty good today, but that's just an indication of how much better we were.

Can I just say, that counter attack for the second goal was as good as I've seen under Pep. One of our best, can't recall a counter like that since the days of Sterling and Sané combining on the wings

Exactly this, soon as the linesman considers ‘next phase’ then he should be putting his flag up, he never, which constitutes to a ‘clear & obvious’ mistake, you know the get out phrase they keep using. Var was brought in to clear up these mistakes (so they said?) not create more confusion. It’s a simple equation, when is offside actually offside, when a player is offside……simples

The VAR 'decision' not to bring that back for the offside is purely SUBJECTIVE which makes it susceptible to manipulation and corruption. We ALL know if that was at the other end the penalty would not have stood.

Brighton were excellent in the second half

They are a decent side but not got the finisher they need. They were partly the architects of their own downfall tonight as 3 of our goals were clear errors from them.

I always put more than 3 cards in the match on my bet builder now, as know we get at least 2 every match, whether we commit fouls or not.

Good tip.

Certainly wasn't a steller second half.. Put it down to tired legs from CL?

Foden would be in the POTY race if he didn't miss the first month.

Mate , it’s a long season no will remember that if he keeps producing

Genuinely how many times have we seen this from us under Pep in the last 5 years? That explosiveness at killing games early reserves so much energy for the long winter months, we are masters at it!
