This is a Brighton fans' forum. What are you doing here?

Defensive headers are meant to go up and away. He is good at those but fails to adjust his technique on attacking headers. Serious practise and coaching required.

You don't watch Brighton much, do you? When have we played alehouse balls into the box to fight for the knockdown in the last 5 years? Shouldn't you be supporting Everton?

Haven't seen this mentioned specifically but I thought Lallana was excellent last night in the way he orchestrated the game. I was close to the pitch and his talking/yelling/screeching to his team mates was constant. I thought he did a good job winding up a couple of their players, and definitely led to one of them being booked. Such a shame he's lost his legs but the old fella is quality and a future manager in the making for sure.

Taking shots caused the keeper to push the ball out in dangerous areas, not going "agricultural". We should have moved the ball quicker in their half and whipped a few more quality crosses in, not lumped it "agriculturally" into the air and scrapped for the second ball.

Is there any successful European team that has ever played that way?
Not particularly but if someone who is supposed to be a fellow fan calls me a prick, I will follow up.

Get a grip!
I feel like I am constantly saying something similar to friends at the game. We should target players on yellow cards but we haven't don't that in forever. I think Dan Harding in that game v Southampton was the last time it feels like we did that.

The only player we have who can do this game management/shithousery bit well is Lallana. Last two games he could almost have been doing a master class.
Gilmour (in that respect) is an absolute lost cause. He needs to just realise that his shooting 'technique' is so pathetically bad, and just try to move it on to somebody else, whenever it falls to him anywhere near the goal. Every 'shot' he has is just a waste of possession.

Think there were a mixed bag of performances , 6 or 7 players played very well the rest didn't and a lot of that is down to fitness, either they are coming back from injury or carrying injuries. that said the style of play we use is hard work on the players and that cannot be good if we have so many not fit enough.
I totally agree we often play too many balls when some over the top balls would be better, that doesn't mean we turn into Everton or Wimbledon it just means we mix it up more. There were some great balls played out to Enciso wide , but he's not a winger and found it hard to progress. The other issue is we rarely get to the bye line and cross, that's what wingers should be doing and finally yes we need to shoot more often well Gross does .
Yes we didn't progress but last night we beat Roma , should have scored more as well. It might have been their B team (was it?) but certainly wasn't our best team either.
All our best play in the match went through him too. We looked much less inventive and incisive going forward in the second half without him on the pitch.
