Brighton and Hove Albion PL (H) | Post Match Thread

Am I missing what Haaland is giving us currently? Doesn't look arsed half the time, and Pep refuses ever to sub him out.
Yes tbh. He's our top scorer and 2nd in the PL table. You would get rid? Is it because he is not top scorer in the league? Do you actually just want Salah?
 
The team when winning you get some luck at times. But when in the form we are in you see today. Brighton the Own Goal was unfortunate. Then at the other end KDB at the end that cross in off Gundogans back could of went in. If things were going for us. I guess our fixtures after this international window gets easier. We need to get KDB in midfield alongside Nico. He creates more good chances just for that alone we need him playing.
 
We have the finest academy in world football, but Pep still will not risk players such as O Reilly? Surely he must be better than Gunders, just give them a chance Pep! Why did we keep M’actee ? Again give him a chance Pep, so many players out of form, Foden, Bernardo,Gunders? Good draw today, but i thought we were very lucky
 
Just want the season over. Know where we are with the charges. Reset and go again.

The big questions for me, has football evolved again to exploit the weaknesses in Pep’s system, or is it purely down to a fall-off and lack of intensity after 4 unbelievable seasons. Plus Rodri.

I don’t know but the manager has earned the benefit of the doubt to try and put it right.
This^
 
He was atrocious today, literally stood and watched us get countered on and looked like he didn't give a shit. Doesn't move, lazy as fuck.
Some blues don't want to hear it. His standards should be the highest, yet some hold Rico Lewis to a higher standard.
 
Get O'Reilly Mukasa and Echeverri involved from now on. We need hungry young blood with no fear and energy.
Always been my biggest frustration with Pep….we know he won’t do that.

The current rotation of players is producing the same poor performances week after week and something needs to change.

We can’t get rid of Pep after one bad season however this doesn’t meant he is above criticism.

A sitter of a header missed by Nico was ultimately very costly.
 
Some atrocious play from us at times. Given we're having full weeks off I can't see any improvement at all.

Doku was great but his end product is poor. Savinho's is even worse, but given their finishing was just as bad I'd say we're at our level - this is, 5th to 7th. That shot by Savinho... I've not played a game for almost fifteen years, have no cartilage in my knee and a weakened cruciate, and even I'd be embarrassed to miss by that much from that position. What is it? Lack of composure? Lack of ability? Confidence?

We need to improve to get champions league qualification, I suppose the one thing we can say is in our favour is that we can improve, and that is Brighton at arguably their best or better level give the form they've been in.

Seems to me we just needed to do the simple things today. Create space, then give it to the only two players on our team who could it a cow's arse with a banjo.

Whilst we could have easily lost that, the reality is that we conceded two unfortunate goals, one hitting the post after a free kick where we probably should have had a free kick for the earlier challenge (I think it was studs over Gvardiol's foot?), and another from an own goal. But both stank of panic and a lack of leadership in our own box. Feel like we need a proper defensive unit in there, a big lad who doesn't take any crap. Dias should be that guy but is guilty of as many mistakes as anyone, Khusanov maybe in time, but right now there is nobody. I'm almost now wondering if we go for Emi Martinez from Villa if Eddie moves on.

The defensive side is a big worry. Such slack passing, switching off far too easily, hit and hope. I did fear Lewis would be overrun by Mitoma after those first few moments and, whilst he did well mostly, I'm just not at all confident with him in our line up. I think a big part of that is Savinho not being brilliant today and Khusanov still learning the game.

We look like we're about to poop ourselves every time the ball came in our box. Feel like we're going to regret this result come end of the season, the only way we don't is by stepping it up and I just don't see how we'll be doing that.
 
very despondent tonight - don’t mind losing to Liverpool and Madrid but today we could barely pass the ball.

Very poor considering a week off. Devoid of ideas.
 
Frustrating. Doku looks busy but the end product is poor. We can't do the simple things right this season. Poor mistakes for their goals. They should have scored another when their no. 20 was unmarked and blasted it over the bar. We are still too easy to hit on the break and we desperately need a set piece coach. Our corners are really woeful. Roll on next season.
Doku played well today but end product poor. How much of that is having no one to pass too though. Haaland and Marmoush were stood on each others toes for one cross. The movement is diabolical.

Savinho on the other hand was absolutely shite.
