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

Similar story to Sporting away in the week.

Played so well the first 30 minutes, went 1-0 up.

Managed to get to half time with the lead this time round, have a shit second half with Brighton all over us, having chance after chance but somehow hold on. Pep takes off Gundogan and Savinho and we lose all attacking threat we had, KDB didn’t look fit at all.

We concede a truly horrific goal, how 4 men can’t clear that ball in the penalty box and let the lone opposition striker sneak in and hit it I don’t know.

Heads go again, like in the week against Sporting and they go on and score again. We look toothless up front and barely threaten to equalise.
 
Watched the game at home today with my 16 year old lad. Both of us were well pissed off but then my wife walked in and said to my son......you know how your Dad used to feel now.
Son replied.....we've won more than Dad could have ever dreamed of and at least we had proper fans when we were shite.
Enough said.
 
Brighton weathered our storm first half and then took advantage of Kovacic and Gundogan tiring! I could see this coming but the team and manager could not.

We have to hang on at the moment! e areout of form, out of luck and seem to make all the wrong decisions. Our new players are being thrown in and we all know it takes a season for them to all settle in.

Great support for 3/4 of the game but they were drowned out once they got back in it.

Don'panic! Long way to go!
 
Sad to say because they've been so good over the years but our senior players are in the
"just want to get the job over and clock off go home and put the slippers on" frame of mind..

( Can't blame them after what they've given us)

Coupled with poor recruitment in the summer and clearly a terrible rehab injury team ( what the fuck do they do? ) feels like if a player feels like he's got a massive fart brewing then he's off the pitch and in rehab for a month..
( excluding rodders obviously) .
 
Absolute shite 2nd half performance.

Weak, physically and mentally all over the pitch, and Pep looked like he didn't have a clue.

It's been a fantastic ride, but regardless of injuries etc, it's starting to look like we're carrying too many passengers most of whom just aren't good enough.

These 2nd half collapses - part physical part mental. We look so less energetic - we’re playing teams who have a week to prepare whilst we’re flying all over with a small squad. But we are also weak, as soon as wr concede there is no doubt we’re going to lose, where’s the backbone, the belief, the leadership.
 
Very good first half and a very sub par second.

Team started well but looked gassed after 50 minutes. Changes when they came were ineffective and how Walker stayed on I’ll never know he was awful most of the game.

Worst run of defeats in 18 years apparently…..come on pep sort it out
