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



Don't know why people are surprised West Ham are doing what they are. Great on the break, a set piece specialist. This is what's going to happen this season, especially at home.
This is where we need a little bit of magic because right now we are going to struggle to get clear cut chances.
Hopefully they'll tire.
Yes they are executing their game plan well. Last time here with Rice they were bullied so we were always going to see a response. Would like to see Adingra on, always looks to have a goal in him

hopefully the west ham defense get tired, they've had to be switched on for the entirety of the first half. A bit of magic is needed to break this low block.

The way we conceded that goal is tragic.
I would like to see Joao Pedro on, please.
Someone needs to spark some life, it feels a bit dejected.

According to the commentator West Ham have never beaten us in the PL. He must have said that 10 times already.

Welbeck is absent we need Pedro on.

Look, this was a really, really strong first half. We're unlucky to be losing, although I wouldn't go so far to say that we deserve to be winning.

WHU have 11 men behind the ball, and their game plan is to get us on the counter. They have done this effectively on more than one occasion already, leading to a half chance and a goal - although what can only be regarded as a defensive error lead to the goal.

We need to get used to this, now we're regarded as one of the most dangerous sides in the Premier League.

It's going to be really tough to win this. We surely will need at least one moment of brilliance. If we keep doing what we're doing, it will almost certainly result in a goal - but there is always that risk of conceding another one from a counter attack.

Very hard to predict this. Could end up 0-1, WHU are defending really well. Could end up 0-2 if they get us on the break again. If we score, then I can't imagine much will change - if we score 2, then the floodgates could open for several.

It's frustrating, but entertaining. Really hope we can do this.

The problem with Welbeck is that he's at his best being the focal point and creating space around and beyond him. He just seems to get in the way with another man up top with him. We need to spread the play more and faster second half. We aren't going to get joy down the middle against a team so well set up, deep, defensively strong.
Not sure it would be that much of a risk if we made three changes at HT.
