[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Chelsea *** Official Match Thread ***

[Psychobilly freakout]

Yep. He’s absolute class.

Shhhhhhhh, will ya…..

 

[Robinjakarta]

Webster is really impressive today. I'll be the first to admit Ive slated him in the past.

One of his best performances for us.

 

[paulfuzz]

All round great performance, MoM has to be GP for the tactics and team selection, of course taking nothing away from the players not even easy to say who didn't give a MoM performance

 

[Mancgull]

Webster was superb. Southgate, were you watching. However, praise to Cucu, Burn, Alzate and McAllister. Very impressive from Alzate to come in and play as well as he did without much game time.
Burn had Lukaka in his pocket.
Fair result in the end.

 

[Blatter]

A great TEAM performance tonight. Everybody digging out for each other.

Could so easily have gone our way……..

 

[pb21]

Super performance from the whole team and I thought the unsung hero was Alzate who was quietly efficient after so long without a game.

Yes, I thought this too. TBH I was a little bit worried when I saw he was starting, but he was excellent in midfield
..

 

[The Fits]

Burn is pretty much undroppable right now.

 

[madinthehead]

Webster MOM?

Or MacAllister. BDB and Cucurella did well too

 

[usernamed]

Cucurella MoM for me, though the whole team were, let’s be honest, superb.

Felt a bit sorry for Neal tonight, it’s clear the hunger and desire was there, but we’ve all had days at work where nothing goes quite right. As Richard Dawson would sing, dust yourself down, move on to next week’s game.

Well I enjoyed that. So good.

 

[Rambo]

Superb. What’s an amazing team we have. Enjoy this moment.

Have to agree. He hasn't impressed me that much, so I kept an eye on him tonight. He did well

 

[pb21]

Burn is pretty much undroppable right now.

He completely neutralised Lukaku, rendered him useless!

 

[clapham_gull]

Cucurella for me MOTM

but some excellent other performances

Particularly from Glenn's hair and up against Cucurella's that quite an achievement.

 

[portlock seagull]

If you call £500m a small margin (rough difference in squad costs), then fair enough, you have a point.

In play eg hitting the post

 

[smillie's garden]

Cucu must be up there with signings of the season in PL.

 

[birthofanorange]

Another thoroughly deserved point against the European Champions.

In 43 years of supporting the Albion, I'm as proud of our team at the moment as I've ever been.

This: With bells, knobs and everything else, on.

Such a pleasure to see us play the way we do....when we do.

 

[1066familyman]

Cucurella for me MOTM

but some excellent other performances

Me too.

Compare him to Kante tonight. Ordinarily, probably the world's best at covering every single blade of grass, winning tackles that he has no right to, and always excellent distribution.

And yet Cucurella has outshone him tonight in every single department!

I'd love to see some stats from tonight on distance covered. Cucurella seemed to be literally everywhere!

 

[Eric the meek]

One or two people on here expressed reservations about our midfield, with one prediction 4-0 to Chelsea.

It didn't happen quite like that, did it?

When we get our passing game going, we are difficult to break down. All we need is to put in it the back of the net. Piece of cake.

 

[portlock seagull]

Alan Shearer...."Chelsea just about the better team".


Do fvck off Alan. You must be watching a different game.

Karen Carp try either same, emphasis always on how poor Chelsea were not how good we are.
