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

Poor defending. Not a good start.

 

[Peteinblack]

FFS!

 

[London Irish]

They’ve had the freedom of the right flank so far, Burn has had no chance

 

[MisterEvely]

Burn has to track Abraham towards the center and James gets acres alone on the right. Needs rethinking. Really feels like Mooy or Propper need to settle wider defensively.

What the **** has Potter done to our defending?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

What the **** has Potter done to our defending?

He's left Stephens out

 

[Motogull]

Poor game and a shite goal to concede.

I bet those opting to stay indoors are not regretting that decision.

Got a horrid feeling we gonna get a hiding today for some reason Chelsea have a hold over us

When we've gone a goal down against other teams, I haven't given up hope this season - as we always look as though we can get back into it. But against Chelsea, I'm afraid you may be right.

I see Villa are winning as well....(edit - Grealish goal ruled out by VAR)

Chelsea work rate is phenomenal

 

[razer]

That's my prediction out of the window.

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

Too much respect given to Chelsea again!
They are good but we are making them look better again
Let's get hold of the ball and play our game please

 

[Solid at the back]

Chelsea look very compact and narrow defensively. They're getting men back in numbers. Need more width I feel. Gonna be a long afternoon.

Chelsea work rate is phenomenal

Unlike us which is dog shite again

this is already looking like the wolves and leicester games - we cant cope with teams who do the high press and dont give the defence the change to pass from the back.

 

[SeagullDubai]

Chelsea tearing us a new one. So much pace and power

Long way to go yet come on lads. Nowhere near our best.

 

[TottonSeagull]

This formation isn’t working. We needed Stephens today. GP needs to change this quickly or we will be 2 or 3 down at the break!

 

[London Irish]

Chelsea are very good but we are making it too easy for James and Willian who can do what they like with no tackles

 

[Farehamseagull]

I’m a little surprised we’re sticking with the back 4 and midfield diamond. It’s clearly not working and the way Chelsea have started it looks like we’re crying out for a back 3 and wingbacks. James has got the whole right wing to himself at the moment.
