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

[BBassic]

Does the ref know he can book Arsenal players?

 

[A1X]

Could do with a second goal here

 

[maresfield seagull]

Saka

 

[Si Gull]

Saka f***ing diving AGAIN.

Can't believe the ref fell for that

 

[fruitnveg]

Caicedo has been decent at RB today too.

 

[oldboyroy]

Playing some lovely stuff and at times playing Arsenal off the park

 

[jimhigham]

A draw does nothing for Arsenal. They have to throw the kitchen sink at us. Can we find space behind them on the counter?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Is it me, or has Saka gone down about 10 times. Usually by running into someone he can see but who can’t see him and isn’t trying to impede him. Picked up from Kane and other England players?

Don’t get me wrong Glenn Murray would do it once a game for us but the sheer amount it happens and the ref always gives if you’re a greedy 6 club. Smaller sides we play it seems to get waved off.

 

[GoingUp]

Gary Neville has been singing our praises all game.

 

[raymondo]

Welbeck for Gilmour. Lets hope thats a good move as I'm not so sure

I'm not watching the game but... what's the sense behind this change?

 

[dolphins]

Fergie off for Goodnight

 

[GoingUp]

Would rather leave Ferguson on, he's been holding up play brilliantly.

 

[maresfield seagull]

Kauro has Benny on toast
How the feck did AWB give him so much trouble

Need to manage him after an injury though , but yes a bit of a shame

Picked up from Arteta I think, half the team are at it. He is especially bad though, probably because he gets away with it and gets fouls. Like Kane.

 

[fruitnveg]

Fergie looking a bit knackered in a few of his recent presses, so I would have taken him off too.

Maybe protecting him as not been back long.

[Wrong-Direction]

It's like we got our mojo back

 

[peterward]

I'd take the point to be honest. We don't have much on the bench and I'm worried that as the half goes on and we tire more we're going to give the ball away one too many times in a dangerous position.

If we had options off the bench and looked fresher I'd go for the win but I really, really, want us to qualify for Europe so I'll take the guaranteed point and eke out however many we need.

I would've then too, but not anymore!
