[Albion] Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

He made a great save in the first haf though - accrding to Johnny and Warren anyway.

He made one very good save to get down and push a daisy cutter round the post.

Feeble attempt to save the second goal. I think Sanchez would have stopped it. Sanchez may have reached the first one too.

Absolutely crazy have you even watched the second goal back? speculation to say you think Sanchez saves them, he doesn’t save either of them. We didn’t win this game simply down to not taking our chance and nothing else.

 

[The Seagull]

Yes, it was a deflection that rook it over his head and in off the underside of the bar but I think Sanchez might well have tipped it over.

“Sanchez might well have tipped it over” . Gotta love the internet

The stream I found had Andy Walker as commentator, and I believe he’s half the reason I’m feeling so annoyed tonight. It was like watching the game with a mate who’s supporting the other team, and only he was allowed to talk.

Aspinall and Cantor were surprisingly downcast too, even when we were winning. Repeatedly critical of our play in the final third, powder puff shots, allowing a weak Leeds team to counter us at will. A horrible listen.

I actually agree with both.

However, he might also have dropped a routine catch from a cross, right at Bamford's feet.

On balance, Sanchez has got what he deserved and we didn't win primarily because Welbeck and Mac Allister both missed very presentable chances, both unmarked inside the penalty box with just the keeper to beat.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Full game was live on Premier Sports in Ireland. Our finishing cost us dearly - Mac’s chance just before ht was the worst miss with Welbz just behind. Dunky was the best for me.
First Leeds goal was a deflection and the second we switched off at the corner. I did think we were sloppier than usual in possession but they deffo harnessed our pivot very well as stated elsewhere.
Two points lost sadly but now onward and upward - we REALLY need to beat Palace

Exactly what I was just about to post - beat me to it

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Clutching at straws, the ball had been delivered before the second ball came on to the pitch near where the corner had been taken from, the corner taker just pushed it back off the pitch

Yeah fair enough, but I thought the same about Mwepu's "interference" for MacAllister's thunderbastard goal.

Bamford. He's always a handful isn't he - and he was again today. Not just his goals - but his little touches and passes setting players away. I was glad to see him go off, but then they bought on Gnonto instead - and he caused no end of problems for us.

Yes. Leeds (and Bournemouth) won't go down on today's evidence. When they do lose, they only lose by the odd goal. I wonder whether they might be in a false position. And Bournemouth score goals and weren't that bad at the Amex a few weeks ago.

West Ham and Southampton look doomed to me. Southampton won last week but we're SO lucky, West Ham are just shit.

Agree with those saying ...

I think Steele is much easier to lob than Sanchez and I think he'd have got to the second one, or more likely Harrison wouldn't have even tried it. Height is a massive plus in a keeper.

The first goal, was a lucky deflection. It would have taken a world class save from anyone to keep that out.

But hasn’t dropped the ball at a centre forwards foot yet.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Au contraire mon Amis, were drew

 

[Swansman]

If he play enough games he will, because every keeper has done mistakes like that.

 

[dazzer6666]

We only had two shots on target - nowhere near enough given what we created and the possession we had. Meslier didn’t have much to do. That’s why we didn’t win.

 

[Rinkmaster]

Unlucky not to take 3 points but on balance 4 out of 6 points not bad against Leeds. Three points against Palace however WILL BE MASSIVE.

Unusual for them, Cantor and Aspinall were persistently critical throughout on that, not upbeat at all even when we were winning. They thought the slow passing from pillar to post outside the box was awful.

 

[Weststander]

One huge positive, Leeds drop to 19th, bottom should Stains win their game in hand.

So, with Sanchez playing, he saves both shots but concedes a soft one and we win 2-1. I'll take that.
