And play 40 minutes of defensive football (inc added time)? I don’t think so. I wouldn’t really describe stains as a ’counter-attacking team’, certainly not last night - they pressed high and aggressively for much of the game and didn’t sit back. With Veltman out, Igor in lCB and no Baleba...

So have at least 2 ‘boy wonders’ before him.

Care in the Community? :thumbsup:

We’re just playing hoof ball now - I hazard to guess what our passing accuracy is at the moment. What is it with us? Every time we play for points that could see us in an unprecedented position in the table, we collapse like an old, useless Brighton deckchair.

Dunky coming on 🙂 (Moving on and not complaining that a decision leaned heavily in our favour after Baleba’s ridiculous ban from this game)

I’m referring to you saying “told you” - saying ‘not really because we didn’t need to be told’! 😉

FFS Surely offside

Not really - we all knew this needed at least a one goal cushion. Dangerous period of the game now - Stains really upping the tempo. We need to settle down and work hard to win possession.

Bugger

Stains trying to play a poor man’s version of De Zerbi ball against Hürzeler ball - possession heavy, playing out from the back and inviting the press - leaky in defence and lacking precision in attack. Don’t they know De Zerbi ball is so last season!? 🙂

We should be 3 or 4 up - very unlucky Rutter hit the post, all three strikers have each failed to finish on several chances created but a good goal from Mitty. Stains can look impressively scary when they all charge forward like a high school football team but they really don’t know what to do...

Rutter held up play well there - he’s an intelligent player.

Please don’t do that - :facepalm:

Wow Lamptey what a pass - I take it all back - good assist. Well done Mitoma 1:0

Sorry but Lamptey looks like an U21 on his debut - seems to have no conviction or confidence. He’s off the pace now too.

Great attempt from Rutter - hit the woodwork

Shitty tackle on Welbeck 😡

Not if we’re are not clinical in converting the chances!

Yes, a spell without serious injury has worked wonders for Danny. A shout out also to successive Brighton managers who have tapped into his latent potential - he’s starting because he’s scoring. if you are good enough you’re young enough 😉

I think that’s where we are at after the summer - attacking wingbacks and midfielders and very strong up front. But also you don’t play to an oppo’s strength you play to their weakness - Southampton will certainly attack on and off the ball and they’ll invite the press too but they are weak in...
