[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth *** Official Match Thread ***

[brighton_tom]

Not the prettiest game but was always going to be like that I felt with us missing MacAllister, Lallana, Colwill, Ferguson, and not starting Caicedo.

Aah I thought you meant the 'shoulder charge' in the box, no?

I didn’t see anything wrong personally but I may be biased, no?

There was also a handball in the box by Pervis, I think it was ball to hand though. Seeing the replays on the press box tvs is a big plus with my season ticket

That was never handball. VAR checked it anyway.

It was 100% a handball, seen them given. It was not in the same incident as the other claimed penalty against Pervis

His hands were by his side and the ball hit his hand as he tried to pull it away. It would have been a diabolical, but not totally surprising, penalty.

Do you think so? I’d have been gutted but resigned myself to it being typical of the fixture!

Might have been the "yoof" lot who were trying to kick off at Brighton station until a Brighton fan got anywhere near them, Embarrassing.

Ah, the world famous BCE, “Bournemouth Casual Element” apparently they chased some Southampton teenagers out of a pub once

was Welbeck injured? looked the best player out there today and as soon as he went off we put several high crosses int the pan area!

Hit his hand from a kick only a short distance away and his arm/hand was not in an unnatural position.

Had ice on his calf. Just above his personalised shin-pads.

Agreed, but I have seen them given

 

[Eric the meek]

Did anyone actually see the Mitoma moves in the box before he headed his superb winner?

Replays of the build up show him - almost literally - running rings round the defenders.

PL Highlights: Albion 1 Bournemouth 0

Karou Mitoma struck again to give Brighton & Hove Albion victory against a dogged Bournemouth side.

We might be the only team on the south coast next season.

It wasn't the prettiest of games, after a great first min start Bournemouth just sat back and as usual we struggle against those teams.

Lot's of players standing around and too many touches of the ball because we could't break them down but main thing we didn't concede on the counter and got a win and 3 points.

Undav was fu*cking annoying though, all the players, such as Welbeck running their b@llocks off to chase down the ball and put pressure on them and he just sort of half heatedly runs, not jogging but not sprinting either. I noticed all game he just ran at 60-70%, considering he doesn't get much game time and this was a chance whilst Fergie is out he should had been running his socks off when pressing.

Undav did look slow when ' pressing '. And he missed his golden opportunity when he hit the post. But I was surprised when I saw the highlights on the concourse how many times he was involved, making nice flicks and passes, when we had pressure in their box. And also remember his block for Mitoma's goal last week. It seems doubtful that he will become a routine starter but De Zerbi wouldn't have played him if he didn't think he was the best option today.

Had the benefit of everything he did in the first half being right in front of us (guided here by junior who knows what he’s talking about too)…….did some excellent work.

Flooding?

 

[BBassic]

Like others I was bemused by the amount of chants sung about how quiet and shit our support is.

One wonders how happy their support is on the trains home with no points.

I'm quietly happy about our three.

Great win.......didn't think it was going to happen. Great celebrations for the goal as well.......loving the way Jeremy Sarmiento really loves to celebrate
