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

[zefarelly]

YAY! Thats the Michael Rodent trophy out of the way.

good 'live' training session for 11 players.

 

[Biscuit]

Should have gone in at half time 2-0 up and against ten men. We were wasteful. Poor second half. Both teams looked crap tbf. If we had to lose I'm glad it happened within 90 minutes - we've got too many fixtures and we can't rotate as much as we would have hoped imo.

Can someone teach Van Hecke to close his legs, cost us against AEK aswell.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Awful performance. Created one chance with march diving header.

No chance of winning the cup anyway. Will be liverpools.

 

[portslade seagull]

Maybe the squad isn't as strong as it needs to be.

 

[swindonseagull]

Giant killers Chelsea beat a top 3 team in a mickey mouse cup......

 

[Sheebo]

Oh well. If that’s what £1b spending in a year gets you

Not great second half but patched up side showed. Even game - their expensive players anonymous in the main. Thanks for the 6 points to Europe

 

[Normandy seagull]

Pedro looked like he was playing for Watford again

 

[birthofanorange]

Highlight of their season.
It's always good to give struggling clubs a bit of a leg-up.
Villa is the one I want to win - it's long overdue.

Yeah it's quite obvious we currently have a big drop off after Dunk

Webster and JVH get done quite often. Haven't seen enough of Igor but he seems to run up too much

 

[Wrong-Direction]

It's about time we took our foot off their neck for a night..

 

[portlock seagull]

It’s the League Cup.

Even if we started in the 5th round, we’d get knocked out in the 4th.

Our record in this competition is terrible. Beyond in fact.

 

[Marxo]

It's a stupid cup anyway.

 

[Napper]

Didn’t deserve to lose . Should of been 2 up
Less said about buonotte again the better
Dahoud some nice touches but a lot crap again
Igor average

Bounce back Saturday

 

[Mike Small]

Watching his goal again - looks a bit like a mis-kick actually?

It was. He's an absolute donkey.

 

[Mustafa II]

Surely we can all agree that it is best that we are out of this competition.

 

[dwayne]

3rd poor performance in a row. De zerbi won't be happy with that. One of dunk or veltman has to play. Simple as that.

Really disappointed with Baleba after Saturday.

 

[Clive Walker]

Decent enough performance. We created the better chances, but didn't finish them.

Probably didn't deserve to lose, or deserve to win either.

Enjoyed a further demonstration that Sanchez, Cucurella and Caicedo are very, very average at best.

Think it is great that we are out of this competition. Too many fixtures, and bigger fish to fry, this season.

Cucurella was probs motm. Moises ain’t average and you know it.

 

[brightn'ove]

Chelsea win their cup final

 

[ManOfSussex]

Chelsea finally beat their big rivals though. Bless.
