Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

I'm just glad of a 2 week break and hopefully we can recover some of our injured players during this spell, and Pep can recharge, he looks knackered.

2 glaring things today for me.

1. Nowhere near fit enough as a team.

2. Complete lack of that old trademark hunger and aggression to win the ball back. Where has the “6 second rule” gone?. Their first goal was this in a nutshell. Nunes and Gvardiol just stood there with their thumbs up their arses when it just needed hoofing away. Pathetic. Just lay down and died that last 25 mins.


The only bright spot for me was the kid Simpson-Pusey who I thought had a belting game in a tough context.

We really do need this international break. I hope there’s a big sit down as a group and they pull themselves together and fucking quickly.

Yeah almost zero closing down.

What's more of a worry is again and again we look world beaters or at the least comfy on 30 odd mins but then the opposition changes game plan and we're fucked.

Injuries or not, Pep needs to step up, we look like his first year year where he almost didn't look to fused if we were dicked as the next season he knew he'd be able to change it and fucking watch out. I'm not sure he's got it in him to go again.

He's said more than once if the players aren't with him etc.
I'm not sure they are, this could be the dying embers of brilliance.

With him being 6 months from potentially leaving it's time to shit or get off the pot I'm afraid.

Love you longtime Pep x

He doesn't suit this pep team because the tactics we have adopted are antithetical to his skill set. And yet he's so fucking good he still scores goals. We should build the team around getting him as many touches as possible

Haaland is the least of our problems

Can see some posts have been deleted. Fair enough.

Anyway, onwards we go. Come on City!

Not sure why anyone’s surprised. The past 4 losses have been absolutely predictable.

I’m not angry anymore tbh, we’ve been fucking majestic under pep for 8 years, and all good things come to an end. Injuries, Rodri, aging club legends, Pep coming to the of his term here. To me it just seems like the hunger and mentality isn’t there anymore, and players are mentally and physically exhausted.

Honestly, we’ll all feel much better as fans if we just chill out, lower our expectations a bit and just see how the season transpires.

We're here during this point every season.

People on here lose their heads and declare our season over.

Then we kick on after Christmas and win the league.

Those people are then quiet until the following year.

If we had held on to win tonight Pep would have been hailed a genius. People can be fickle. That genius is still there in Pep. Let's see what's available after the Int Break.

Yeah, I had that same reaction, but I wasn't able to come up with the figure to back it up. KDB has no business whatever being on that list.

I was probably under valuing his minute's, about 6 on Tuesday plus 5 added on and today 16 plus 9 added on but it's still only 36 minutes! ;-)

But there is still a chance he might be...

Not with this squad mate, surely you can see how weak it is compared to past seasons?

Yes pep will never lose his genius..
But he's human.

He also needs backing from the board which I don't think he's had in the summer..

But he also needs to say what his own personal intentions are so we can rebuild and move on or carry on and support him in the transfer market and not be penny pinchers.

( Fuck the charges). . players will still come here.
