Quite, disrespectful towards Leeds, actually that might be something to do with it!

I guess this is De Zerbi Ball, A roller coaster with the occasional derailment. Onwards and upwards.

He’d be my choice to play there but to me he’s a CB playing RB. I know he’s played at RB more, but while he’s a great defender he doesn’t offer much going forward. A right footed Pervis clone is the dream.

Yeah, but he’s being asked to lay the ball off instead of getting to the line and crossing for, today Welbs and
Ferguson, a forward. It is not his traditional game. Got a bit lost today - doesn’t mean he he had a bad game - I think RDZ fell a bit short today.
Sums the match up pretty well.
Hey ho, not worried at all but would have been nice to have had the 3 wins under our belt.
As someone commented a while ago, isn't it wonderful to not even consider being a relegation candidate?
Something that was always lurking, just a few seasons ago.
Lots of criticism on the Brighton players, and indeed it was a terrible performance, but I have to credit how West Ham played.
Moyes had his tactics spot on with the counter-attacking football, and they were to exploit our defensive errors.
They have shown why that European trophy is not a fluke, and will be a force to be reckoned with in the future too.

Credit to West Ham. They set up low and broke well. They looked very solid and we seemed very devoid of ideas until the 75th minute. Lots of crosses into the box which were easily cleared. If we’d started like we finished who knows but on to the next one.

Bar Webster, I didn’t think anyone in blue and white were particularly poor. Just couldn’t break a well drilled West Ham side down. 3 very good goals on the break, all of which could have been avoided by better decision up the field.
Can't believe a few people suggesting we were unlucky today (including the nsc twitter)
Quite simply, outclassed. By fcking Moyes and west ham.
And this has been threatened all season. a Few people predicting trouble before this game. De zerbi needs to be more flexible. If we get stuffed next Saturday questions need to be asked.

not panicking at all….
didn’t like today that dunk and Webster took over the mantle of creative midfielders and all of our midfield options were very negative today….lot of square balls.
not sure what the point in playing Ferguson and wellbeck at CF when we refused to cross the ball apart from rubbish corners!
this guy from Lille needs to come in and I couldn’t understand why Mohammed didn’t play
very off team selection
but in RDZ we trust!
( please play a bit better against newcastle)
btw. The keeper was outstanding and saved them no doubt.

True, it just felt like one of those days where nothing would go our way - likely because of that impressive West Ham defending.
From my view, the players weren't at their usual standards, but they know that and I'm sure they will have a point to prove in the next few fixtures.
This is still an amazing Brighton squad, and I love that, however I probably feel slightly dejected as I am sure that this club, currently, can reach even higher.

Fully deserved the bunch of ****s
I'd rather have a poor performance now, rather than when it really matters. We (for whatever reason - and it wasn't losing Ali Mac and Caicedo) weren't at our sharpest.
I would have taken 6 points from a possible 9, from our first 3 matches.

Trouble is, when players turn it 9/10s nearly every match, when they do a 6/7 it feels poor. But it isn’t really.
Moyes had a plan to hit us hard on the counter which was executed perfectly
Their keeper massively kept them in it on several occasions
Thought Gilmore was very good
Ref was awful but didn’t stop us winning the game
