[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa *** Official Match Thread ***

[Si Gull]

Burn’s back pass hurried him up for a second or two

Must admit my heart was in my mouth for a moment!

 

[Albion in the north]

Are you on drugs? Trossard was brilliant!!

You have to remember that some people on here only say things for a reaction. They havent seen too many people over lockdown.

 

[GT49er]

Happy with the point but if only we could shoot.

26 shots, 9 on target, so obviously we can and did. Their GK MOTM by a country mile; he's single handedly won them two points tonight.

 

[Sheebo]

Totally agree I’m happy with a point. We didn’t do enough up front to get all 3

People can criticise the finishing, perhaps with some justification, but their keeper was and is class - and the FOOTBALL is remarkable. 1 goal conceded against Liverpool / Spurs / Villa amongst other big tests - in six games! I’m sorry, I’m not gonna put up with negativity tonight - we should be bloody proud lads and lasses!!!!

 

[kjgood]

Its OK we'll take some learning from that, we're a young side am pleased with the performance as usual.

 

[razer]

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Gabbafella]

So disappointing, Maupay and Trossard battled hard again to prove who is more useless

You didn't watch the game then?
Trossard played well, his passing was good, link up play, movement spot on, only thing that let him down was finishing but he forced a couple of saves.
Maupay on the other hand was shit again. About time he was dropped.

 

[Deadly Danson]

It's amazing how often all these good teams look really poor against us. It's almost like we are tactically better than them. I wish these commentators would give us some credit.

 

[Wardy's twin]

We were the better team by a mile and their keeper made some good saves.

People need to appreciate how far we have come since November/ December.

Our defence looks good, our midfield looks good we need to just get the ball forward quicker and crisper.

Also Potter needed to make that substitution 10 mins earlier.

What ever people say about Maupay's finishing his contribution by harrying the defence is immense.

the team look a LOT fitter....

 

[Icy Gull]

Somebody IS going to get a thumping from us. With Lamptey back I think it will be Palace

 

[Shooting Star]

That result summed up our season really.

Agreed: absolutely mullering a team 0-0.

 

[Sea Cider]

If we can sign a quality striker and convince a few other of our forward players (Trossard and Mac Allister I'm looking at you) to score a few, we'll be pushing for Europe. Defence and midfield are so dominant at the moment against EVERYONE.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

So disappointing, Maupay and Trossard battled hard again to prove who is more useless

Well if that was really the case, Trossard should be very unhappy with his performance, because Maupay won that contest by a country mile.

 

[elwheelio]

Good performance again another point, safety almost assured and we are hard to beat..............Sanchez definately broke covid rules tonight for leaving home unnecessarily ! Clinical striker is the missing link now.

Obviously a "top" striker would be nice but it's not like Neal missed loads of great chances tonight. We need to improve with our final ball and we'll score more with our existing forwards.

Martinez Sky MoM.

‘We came here to win.’ Says he.

Utter utter bollox I’m afraid.

They couldn’t have been more set-up for a draw if they tried.

 

[Dick Head]

Could of &/should of been more than a point. But a point further away from trouble

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly, this post has made my poor Grammar Nazi's eyes bleed.

 

[DJ NOBO]

We lacked the potency we have shown recently which was frustrating.
Six games unbeaten though...is that a record in the top division?

 

[bluenitsuj]

Its all good. We will be above Palace a week Monday

 

[Sheebo]

Trossard man of match for us, obviously their keeper overall

Yep - I’ve been a little critical of Tross before but that was an exemplary performance. I think he lost it once! And often had 2-3 on him. Outperformed Grealish tonight which is brilliant.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Défense solid despite being without Webster. Biss and Mac good. Gross looked very tired 2nd half and I thought Lallana might come on for him. Maupay frustrating. Tross inventive. We are missing March, balance looks a bit one sided
