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

[peterward]

FFS MacAllister. Again loses it, falls over and they nearly go up other end and score again.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Reminds me of the 3-0 loss to Burnley last season

 

[Algernon]

Ffs, look on the bright side.
If it carries on like this, tickets will be refunded.
Free football.


Come on Albion, turn it around. I've got enough money already.

Predicting more boos at halftime than for God Save The King

 

[SUIYHP]

We seem really off it today, no excuses. We can’t be complacent against a team who have everything to lose, especially if we are after a space on Europe.

 

[London Irish]

The biggest issue in this game has been over commital, seemingly because we arrogantly thought we didn’t have to chase back or fight for the win against a pathetically poor team.

Mac and Caicedo have been caught forward so many times and not chased back.

Spot on - although the selection hasn’t been great, any team we put out today losing the ball like we have and being constantly caught with our pants down would get hammered. It’s been kamikaze stuff and that’s the sole responsibility of the manager

 

[The Fits]

Everyone needs to get real. With the squad we have we need the majority of all our players getting 8, 9s out of ten. We've had an emotionally draining few weeks that's also been physically intensive. When you have one CB prone to shocking mistakes, another having a rare bad day, a GK showing why he isn't Gordon Banks when he's under real pressure, an 18 year old replacing arguably your most important attacking player and Undav, after all that, and against a motivated team with a shrewd manager, you sometimes get this. We aren't Man City. We can't carry poor performers, passengers, mistakes

Queues for the trains already?

Absolutely this. What’s up with them. Need an absolute rocket! No commitment at all. Outplayed and signs of misplaced arrogance.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

What is Buonanotte meant to offer the team? He is not even close to being ready. Critical error starting him/Undav and dropping Gilmour.

He’s not being played in when clearly open
If he’s not trusted he shouldn’t be on

 

[fruitnveg]

Lambasting Undav also unfair. I'd argue he's offered as much as Welbeck, not that it is alot.

 

[METALMICKY]

Wow how is that not 4 just before the break? We are getting ripped apart on the break

 

[Mackenzie]

That half didn't go to plan.

Still think we can win this though. An early goal required in the second half.

 

[Ethelwulf]

RDZ having a mare why not change it when to everyone it’s obvious it’s not working
Typical Albion unfortunately

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Starting line up wrong.
Unforced errors throughout.
Positives?
Can't be that bad in the second half

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

No point blaming anyone in particular the whole team has been shite.

 

[Gabbiano]

Reminds me of the 3-0 loss to Burnley last season

Its exactly that. All of a sudden a 0/10 performance, getting bullied by a team with more intensity and suffering to rapid counters again and again.

Dyche has our number.

 

[Grizz]

Everton have been excellent, countered superbly, you can argue that the early goal settled them, rattled us and played straight into their play book, but these boys are professional enough to deal with it. They haven't.

However, we've been uber poor. Poor passing, disjointed, idiotic flicks, slipping all over the place, giving the ball away so easily, crazy. They seem to have no confidence in Buonanotte, so get him off, get March on. Get Welbeck off and get Ferguson in there. I don't think Undav has done much wrong, he's made runs, he opened up space, the midfield has just been shite and shut down very quickly.

Let's see what the second half brings.

 

[Springal]

Absolute shite. Dunk, Mitoma, Undav, Caicedo all well off IT.

WSU booing at half time again.

 

[Bridcutt]

We can still get something from the game but the arrogance from De Zerbi to watch this and change nothing within the first 20 mins let alone the first 45 is just pathetic
