To dominate midfield so much without Bissouma is great to see. Moder was great

I still think you have to be critical of the finishing or lack off it , get that right and we turn into a very good team.

Also think the subs should have been done a bit earlier especially getting Mac on who just looks to go forward and the two shots he had , were on the goal though blocked.

Lalana ran that game , bossing all the players (wish he could shoot) bringing out the best in all.

Needed to vary the dead balls and corners and not leave them to Gross. Moder can deliver decent crosses as well as others.

Bloody good performance though we are in a different world.

P.S. looked a penalty to me on TV and must have been a close call for VAR to review it.

Sorry.......................Got to be negative about our goalscoring ability.

I don't think we created any clear cut goal scoring opportunities, mostly half chances. Sometimes those go for you sometimes not. But looking at the bigger picture, how we are developing as a side, where we are (and deserve to be) in the table, I don't give too much of a sh*t about those two points today. Sometimes you get what you deserve sometimes you get shafted by the football Gods. Arsenal got lucky today, us a bit unlucky. But the bigger picture tells me that now is a f*cking awesome time to be a Brighton fan.

It doesn't feel that long ago that we were in the Championship and I thought ooooo, Newcastle in the cup! they are a Premier League side! Right now we are disappointed not to go joint top of the Premier League with Chelsea. Forgive me if in my disappointment I also crack a little smile and appreciate how awesome we are right now, regardless of one result which could have been better.

Wasted on the wings, he loves running the creative part of our game in the middle, he’s so involved in everything.

He’s now a lot stronger on the ball than he was 2 years ago meaning he is more comfortable in the middle. He’s really hard to shake off the ball now. Quality player.

 

[oldboyroy]

The fact that we were held by arsenal rather than the other way round.

 

[The Fits]

Yeah Mac really adds something when he comes on. A real conundrum. He looks like he has everything to me. I wonder whether he will be groomed to follow Lallana into a slightly deeper role in the long run, but he is incredibly positive further up the pitch.

We were comfortably the better of the 2 sides tonight with 58% possession.

After getting so close last season, it definitely feels like the club's moved to a different level now and things have clicked.

Frustrating that we couldn't put any chances away, but I'm happy to give the guys a pass tonight after Monday.

Another clean sheet, only 5 goals conceded in 7 games, and 14 points on the board with an average of 2 points per game.

Bring on the international break and get the guys rested for 3 points against Norwich.

Tross was everywhere and involved in all our good moves. Definitely stepped it up this season.

Imagine dominating arsenal, them holding US to a draw, and our fans are complaining about it ��

Nah, never happen mate. What are you on

 

[Weststander]

Tross was everywhere and involved in all our good moves. Definitely stepped it up this season.

Scoring the winner at Brentford seemed to be the final catalyst imho.

Until this season, he looked liked he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Best performance of the season, and got a draw. Next time, please can we play less well again and win!

Liked the stat mentioned, only ManUre and Chelsea have got more clean sheets at home than Brighton in 2021.

Fortress Amex.

I am getting more and more concerned as to how long we can hold on to the fecking genius that is Graham Potter. That was one seriously impressive performance.

As an aside any Albion fan who is even close to voting Potter out is a complete and utter moron

 

[Durlston]

Arsenal fans living in the past singing songs about Tottenham and Viera. Don't think they have the self awareness to realise that all this does is emphasise what a small club they are in the present.

The Spuds will always have the piss taken out of them, even if they were in League One with the Seven Sisters geography. Who do you expect them to hate?

Vieira was a bit strange considering they're now rivals though. Time to move on from 'the invincibles'.

Arsenal will win a domestic cup this season as there's no European football for them and their defence is a brick wall finally after a dodgy start.

It's tough playing a top six side and getting a point,
......away from home

 

[GT49er]

12 shots off target. So 2020. Would have been great to just bundle one in. Impressive team performance though, made Arsenal look ordinary.

19 actually. 21 shots, but only 2 on target.

 

[Weststander]

Imagine if Mr Bloom delivered him a further proven goal scorer (or greedily two)!

To outplay arrogant $$$$ Arse who’d just destroyed Spuds, whilst missing our world class midfield powerhouse.

 

[birthofanorange]

For me, that was the most entertaining match thus far, and indeed, I see that at a potential two points lost....even though I would have taken a point at the start, given their recent form in comparison to ours.

We showed serious intent there, although (as last season) we lacked the final touch/shooting skills. That said, I'm chuffed with the commitment we showed, thrilled with Cucurella's performance (as I have been, since he arrived), Trossard is coming 'good' and we have fabulous players out injured, but soon to return.
I feel good things about this season, already.

(Love the comment about BDB having a 'head like a shoebox' - you're not wrong. )

Get 3 points from Norwich and we'll still be sitting pretty - and I fully expect that to happen.
