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

That team is either a master stroke or a disaster waiting to happen.

If it’s anything other than disaster I will be amazed.

I’m lost for words.....

Hoping my post is bounced at the end of the game, and I’m busy wiping egg off my face.

Lost the plot........

I think that's a tad generous to credit it MacAllister with creating that goal. He played a straight 5 yard pass. For me, it was Connolly's flick that made the goal.

Both! If Mac hadn't shouted 'go go go' then Propper would have let it go out of play...instead he flicked it over his head to Mac, who turned and passed 5 meters (if you like!) , Maupay dummy, Connolly flick, Maupay shot...goal!!!
Yes, fantastic play by both Maupay and Connolly, but if Mac hadn't shown the initiative we'd have never seen that goal (best team goal for a long while IMHO).

I’d take a draw now.

Gotta say, I'm super excited!
Say what you like about Potter- the football isn't always that exciting but team selection roulette is bloody brilliant!

 

[neilbard]

He just as well of dropped Dunk

 

[Bodian]

Just got back from watching the sun set. Saw two magpies - so we'll be fine!

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

WTF? Beginning to think GP has a bet in us going down..great to see Alexis start though...Maybe Potter putting him and AJ in the "shop window" ready for the January sales...

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

We'll probably get a result now but that is the sort of team picked by a bloke who has lost the plot. Get rid

No surprises at all in that line up. That's what I thought he'd do .........

Who's getting in the box and scoring, that's my issue with it

 

[elwheelio]

I really wanted Potter to succeed but there's no master plan, no strategy, no "journey". He throws stuff at the wall to see what will stick. I'd be amazed if some of our players aren't as nonplussed by the constant bizarre selections as we are.

 

[Eeyore]

This is the team for Newport County. What is the side for Arsenal ?

 

[southstandandy]

Blimey. 2nd game this season we've started without a recognised striker. 5-5-0 formation is quite novel I'll give Potter that. Oh well, it's the away form that will keep us up, hopefully.

 

[BN41Albion]

Wtf is that line up. God sake

 

[Easy 10]

I had tickets to this game.

Thank fook for covid.

 

[Swansman]

A little bit more rotation than I expected, thought Maupster would start. But here we go!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Ridiculous. OUT!

And, yes, I know we have two games in three days but were we really picking West Ham away as an easier game than a home match against a team one place above us?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That is comfortably the worst team we’ve ever put out at this level. What the **** is Potter thinking!?

He's just taking the piss now. Almost DARING Tony Bloom to pay him and his cohorts off

Of course, if by some miracle it gets us a result against the softest touch in the EPL, there will be all sorts of after-timers crawling out of the woodwork to hail it as a tactical masterstroke

 

[Farehamseagull]

He had to make changes with a game after just 2 days, no one can criticise Potter for that surely?!

 

[Originunknown]

Surely no one predicted this line up...
