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

What a great second half performance. Some of the posts earlier on in this thread were ‘misplaced’ shall we say.
No lack of effort or skill in that performance.
Certainly well deserved point. Joao Pedro MOM for me.

Very decent performance. Good result.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Good to see Adam back, he played well.

 

[FamilyGuy]

A point gained I think.

To paraphrase Monty Pythons- you lucky lucky bastards.

 

[Steviewonder]

Probably a fair result. Thought we defended much better than in some recent games (aside from their goal). Think Enciso might have added more punch up front. Point is better than losing.

 

[P.C. Beard]

Ayari put in a big performance, he needed that. Great to see Webster back, he looked solid, as did the whole defence.

Subs made by difference plus I think we just believed in ourselves a bit.

Really good controlled battling performance. Good subs made. Even with the Igor injury I thought Webbo came on and gave a solid performance

 

[Dick Head]

Back up to 10th again in the blink of an eye.

 

[Marxo]

I'm happy with that, some good substitutions too.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Now six points off the top 6.

 

[Coxovi]

That was a great second half, will take that.

 

[hart's shirt]

Another goal down against a team higher in the table.

Another comeback showing guts and effort.

Another fully deserved point.

Well done again lads.

 

[The Fits]

Watching Rutter in the second half, he raised Joao Pedros game imho, made me pine for Welbeck.
Those three firing make us a totally different team. Lots to look forward to.

 

[Mustafa II]

Gotta be pleased with that second half performance and overall result.

On to the next one...

 

[Weststander]

No chance for me to watch this in any form. Was the draw deserved?

Once we equalised Betfair throughout made the odds of an Arse win far more likely eg 6.2 to 10.0. Was there a real match reason for this, they were taking us apart, or markets were swamped with plastic gooners?

 

[ChickenDipper]

Excellent second half - way more like us and could’ve won it - great point.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Defending was superb today apart from the obvious one single error. And pushing 3 players forward on corners was tactical genius. Even Webster looked solid when he came on.

 

[Mancgull]

The decision to give Joao Pedro the captaincy paid off brilliant IMHO.
Raised his game with the added responsibility.

 

[Berty23]

Ayari and Baleba were absolutely outstanding second half. Brilliant.

I am old enough to remember when we only dominated second half at Arsenal because they had ten men. Well only one team went for it second half today.
