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

lol at some of the posts and ‘fans’ on this thread. Absolutely know-nothings about football and how it goes. I can almost imagine I’m in 1995 reading some of the utter drivel on here.

Shameful
 
Evolution from the heights of being the best team in the world for 5 seasons is proving to be more difficult than most thought it would be.

Players don't choose to be fatigued or injured or to miss chances or to play badly.

We've 'collapsed' from a perfect storm of brilliance to a perfect storm of mediocrity.

If guys of the insight & experience of Pep & Tixxi didn't expect it,how could we ??

The 'evolution' from where we are to where we've got to be will take more than one season and will have plenty of bumps and setbacks.

Supporters will have to learn to support the team again if the journey isn't going to be fraught and frustrating, today's support was pathetic !!

It shouldn’t be that difficult - replace ageing quality players with younger quality players. Not with Phillips, Nunez, Lewis, oap Gundogan and Kovacic.

Obviously the board are not stupid, they must realise we were signing worse players than we’ve had recently. If they need to be careful because of the charges then there’s not much that can be done until we see those off in court.

If the reticence to go balls out on transfers is because the club worry what the media or red shirt cartel will say then we need to fucking grow a pair rapidly.

Second highest income in football behind Madrid, yet spend less than fucking West Ham. Not good enough, and exactly why we are now shit.

For the right players, sometimes you have to forget net spend, image and bullshit in the media and overspend if required to get the right players.
 
No issue with the score, either side could have nicked it and at our current level it was a good result against a really good side. My gripe is with our wingers. Doku runs himself into the ground but continues to make the wrong decisions and often gives the ball back to the opposition. Rarely scores on top of that. Savvy has undoubted talent but will not give us a goal even if the opposition had no goalkeeper and again often loses the ball. Both not good enough certainly at this period in time. Problem is this is happening week in week out. Lewis adds nothing at all to the team.
 
I disagree.

We look like a very well coached team who have young and inexperienced players and new signings.

I mentioned about Paris at Anfield the other night. Their execution was appalling but they looked extremely well coached.

We looked like that today but at a lower standard.

You think we look well coached? Well fuck me sideways mate, my kids school team looks better coached at the moment!

What to you fail to take into account is that we supposedly employ fitness coaches who measure and analyze players output in games and in training . The stats and data from this would have shown the drop off in their data from last season but some are still being selected
 
We got the point that we played for, so all good…Brighton so, so good in transition so pleased with that result. Easier games to come and provided Gundo stays fit, top 4 is a cert.
 
And once again I will say it for the umpteenth millionth time, nothing will change until Guardiola has gone.

No, nothing will change until we give him some proper fucking cash. Fuck this holistic net spend bullshit. £500m spend in summer; a right back, left back, hard bastard midfielder and a goal scoring midfielder.
 
People who would have accepted a league title every five years before Pep arrived are now kicking off that it isn't not five in a row and we are in a scrap for top four. The poor bastard is the biggest victim of his own success.
Spoilt bastards they are. I hate to say it, but some of it borders rag attitude.
 
A right back and a Goalkeeper are also badly needed.
Truth be told we need two goalkeepers cos it looks like Eddie will be leaving.
Ortega isn’t good enough to be a number one and he was getting itchy feet being a number two last season.
If we bring in a new number one, which is a must, then Ortega will want out from the murmurings last season.

Not sure how that makes any sense!

Nothing will change until we properly
sort the still obvious issues our squad has. The idea we won’t win the title again with the man that has won us four in a row is a ridiculous notion.
 
Aguero was attacked by Pep for not working hard enough for the team. He was a brilliant striker but under Pep ha improved all round. Haaland is a brilliant striker but does nothing other than score. His hold up play is very poor, ball control likewise. He does nothing other than score. If Aguero got shit off Pep why is Haaland given a free pass , he was missing yet again today.
He's playing the same as when he set the goal scoring record. Did it annoy you then? If so fair enough. I think he plays a particular way and it worked when the team was working. Though it does annoy me his ambling sometimes.
 
I thought 2-2 was a fair result and about the best we could expect?
We’re a bit off it , and Brighton are punching well above their weight

With the fixtures we have left , l am very confident a champions league place for next season will be secured !

Special praise to Doku and Marmoosh
