[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham United *** Official Match Thread ***

Superb result! Love the fact Steele started, Sanchez has been poor recently, only right Steele got a shoe in. I missed being there today, but looks like we were class.

Yeh mate. It's a message to the team. Nobody is safe. Keep your standards up. Not just the Palace howler, but generally Robbie has dipped a little, steele performed and rightly kept his place.

Ball now im sanchez court

Well that is great for you and bang average for her/him.

Yes, the real ones are way better - give it a go.

 

[Springal]

Pretty damning for Sanchez ?

Dunno I meet them every day and think plenty are shithouse.

Ah, well, your take on most things is always a bit 'off'. Still, you carry on with your nonsense.

Tbf, the crowd was flat 1st half, and it was a little uneventful.

 

[southstandandy]

No yellow cards for our boys today too - another plus.

Not really damning, just needs to adapt to what RDZ wants. A test for RDZ's coaching and Sanchez's resolve to get back into the team.

I agree, he got too relaxed. Which made him v frustrating to watch, but if a meh attitude.

Spot. Love how brutally honest RDZ is.

He also said he likes both. I don’t feel he threw Sanchez under the bus as much as he is trying to get him to up his game. Competition is healthy and Steele showed today why he deserves his spot - a pretty flawless game.

“Oh stop it”

After Mitoma’s goal… Great commentary.

 

[BBassic]

Yes, the real ones are way better - give it a go.

Pop him on ignore - much nicer experience.

Means instead of arguing with someone who won't ever stop arguing you can bask in the glow of a 4-0 win.

Some good stops & excellent with his feet.
Would've liked to see him tested with some crosses but wasn't gonna happen today

Crowd, yes, but we dominated the half, big time.

Wrong, Dear Friend were won

West Ham were shocking beyond belief

Well played Brighton, we were totally outclassed in every single department.

Taking nothing away from Brighton, that was probably the single worst performance ive ever had the misfortune of watching in 50 years. I left the game with 20 minutes to go.

Having previously been "Moyes in" i would've been quite happy for the score to have been 10-0 if it meant Moyes getting the sack.

I'm now going to have a lie down in a dark room until Monday before i go to work and get a barage of well deserved absue

Well played.

You're right. I've ignored birthofanorange now, he'll have to find another hobby than quoting half-time remarks about a dull game in order to create the shit throwing he lives for.

Absolutely superb we passed West Ham into submission and made them look really poor! They were absolutely dreadful, they didn’t press us properly at all and we were able to play it around, especially at the back, with ease. My god though, it does make me nervous when we casually play it around at the back all the time, but 9/10 we got it right and when we gave the ball away we won it back quickly, but when we beat the first press there was so much space going forward! In reality I don’t think we played much better or worst than again Fulham or Palace, just were a bit luckier and much more clinical in front of goal. After a poor mistake from West Ham for the penalty we never looked back and the game was easy once we scored early in the second half. I hope all those day trippers and JCL’s know this is not normal for Brighton and we’ve had to come a long, long way to get where we are now. APPRECIATE HOW GOOD WE HAVE BEEN THIS SEASON COS WE DON’T WANT TO END UP LIKE SOUTHAMPTON IN A FEW YEARS!

Steele didn't have a lot to do today, but what he did do, he didn't set a foot, or a hand, wrong.

I was nervous about starting Steele, but can't fault his performance at all.
