Brighton (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Gray]

Great display first half, half arsed display in the second. Three points and move on.

Referee a complete and utter knob end.

Thought we were great first half but just haven’t got the energy levels to last 90 mins plus playing like that at the moment.

They got through us too easily second half at times and we were sloppy right from the kick off.

Stupid bookings for Rodri and Grealish. He was getting involved at the end with someone again too.

Akanji getting sent off is probably a blessing for next weekend. He has days like this in him.

Stones excellent, Doku exciting, great goal from Haaland, good save from Ortega.

Still very hit and miss this season.

Decent game. Started really well and should have been out of sight before half time.

A more sedate second half, where we dropped our level and Brighton’s subs upped theirs.

They didn’t really create much, but could have nicked it, but we held firm.

Akanji probably deserved to go. Their number 3 might have too had he been booked for his foul on Stones before his nastier trip of Rodri.

Anyway, 3 points banked. No injuries.

Roll on Young Boys.

Agree but for a hit and miss season so far.....we're top, ' things can only get better...'

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

i don't like this formation, defensively its wide open. id also like to see the back four centre backs again and willy waver on the bench.

It’s more accommodating Haaland and Alvarez. 2 up top cedes some of our control.

Thought Bernardo was marvellous in that last 20 mins playing deep central midfield (and everywhere else).
The way he calmed the game down, retained possession for us, and influenced the whole tempo and mindset of the team was a joy to watch.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I completely agree but to say 'he has to go' is wild.

Has to go meant he thought it was a second yellow and had to go off the pitch, not that we need to sell him.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Not seen them again but at the game I thought both Rodri and Grealish deserved their yellows. Rodri trying to claim he was passing the ball back to Brighton was ridiculous and Grealish got right in the linesman's face and may have even slightly bumped him too (from my view in SS3). A complete lack of discipline from both.

Highlights were the win, Doku's first half display and the performance of Gvardiol.

 

[Trojan1962]

I think he'd be the first to admit that distribution isn't his strong point. Apart from that, he didn't do much wrong. Nothing he could do about the goal.

He needs to keep to his limitations and not give possession away
