Brighton (h) post-match thread

[CBD]

Play like that against Villa next week and could get punished by better players in the final third.

Depends how they play.

Worried about our attack. I honestly feel like we don't have any strikers/forwards that instill any fear in our opposition anymore. Our defence is carrying us.

xG had it 2.91 - 0.18, which is a better reflection of the game based on chances. Not that we weren't still pretty shit for most of the second half...

The penalty will account for 0.76 of that, but that sounds about right for me. 2-0 would have felt like a fairer reflection of the game and eased nerves.

He did.. Dias

Darke not commentating it was Darren Fletcher

3 points, clean sheet, Foden scores the winner, Bernardo back to his old self, 7 consecutive wins in all competitions.

There is a room for improvement. Thing is we are finding consistency and making progress. Potential is huge.

Fees for Mahrez and Sterling could go along way to getting a top top striker I feel.

Pitch looked poor. We now have 4 homes on the trot? Going to be A hinderance.

Looked better than ANY pitch I ever played on in the 1960s and 70s, including the all weather pitch at Platt Lane under those famous floodlights. If it had pissed down all day then, I would have needed flippers.

I thought he was awful, not his fault as he's just not a left back. was exposed time and time again, all Brighton's best attacks came down that left flank.

I accept we have different views, but where was his awfulness? It is only when Jesus got on and immediately disappeared that Zinch started defending against 2-3 Brighton attackers. Gabriel lost a ball four times in 2 minutes and looked like moving through treacle. At one point KdB just threw his arms in disgust, I thought he is going to deck him. This Brighton manager is not a mug, he saw what was going on and started overloading us on both wings. Foden switch to the right was almost as bad. But hey, we won, onwards and upwards!

 

[levets]

Just ignore those twats from the media, they hate us and everybody knows it, we will just continue to win, piss them off and watch them cry and whine like the bitches that they are.

Keys & Gray on bein both saying our goal shouldn’t have stood as Dias fouled their player before the ball broke to Kev.
