Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Fatalistic crap

Well it's what Hughton thinks, and it's what those on SSN said as Huddersfield headed for 3-0 down by half time yesterday. In fact it's what all the pundits said.

If you've got the tactics to help relegation favourites get a result away to a top 5 team, maybe you should become a manager?

I think we have a better chance in these games of playing our natural attacking style. Absolutely we could get pumped but teams like Arsenal are too good to surrender 80% of pitch and possession, they will inevitably score or you will inevitably make a mistake. Commentators taking about training sessions - sticks in the throat. Only chance really is disrupting teams like Arsenal and making them turn back - you just have to gamble on hurting them first

And lose 6-1.

Pretty much the ONLY way to win somewhere like Arsenal is to nick a winner when it's too late for them to respond.

Well their just not brave enough , or aren't allowed to be .

Arsenal have looked a bit iffy when we have been more positive

Not actually watching so not qualified to commentate on today's game but can we afford to venture upfield using our fullbacks against teams with quick wingers? Maybe the greyhound will oust Bruno and give us more attacking options? I am a massive Bruno fan but I do think he is a weak link in an attacking Albion at this level.

**** me you are a boring count

Might sound daft but this game has excited me for the rest of the season. We look far more dangerous with pace, and that bodes well for the future.

We should have won it, let down by Hughton's tactics. I expect he'll be gone by morning.

Apart from us having more corners than them in the first half of course.

I take your point though surely this early in the season we're looking for good signs against teams of this calibre.... and there've been some. I'm sure as the season goes on we'll be more ambitious against teams we have a real opportunity against, rather than just a puncher's chance.

Don't get me wrong I can see positives from this game, at times we have had good chances and when we do go forwards with a bit of speed we look dangerous and yes as the season goes on I think we will do better against the top sides, I think I'm just disappointed that along with sitting back (which can work) we have been very sloppy in passing, giving ourselves effectively no chance in this one

"Well it's taken 85 minutes but Brighton have finally decided they can play at this level." FFS!

Sounds like our fans are STILL outsinging Arsenal?

 

[Bladders]

Schelotto is quite positive, he won't get a start until he cuts that shit out of his game

Thanks for that given how we appear to have played. I needed a laugh.

Shame Murray couldn't play from the start. We look way better with him on the pitch

Not so much going hell for leather but when we win the ball in the middle it's like a hot potato and it's just a back pass . Need to be braver

We're losing 2-0 and the Brighton fans are in full voice, good effort that!

Completely agree. Hopefully the international break will be well timed to get him in shape for the next game

No, not having that, it's nothing to do with Hemed being unavailable or Murray coming back from injury, it's all because we didn't have a go from the off.

We have now played Arsenal and Man City, conceding a total of four goals. Palace concede that in one match!
