[Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
4 at the back, 2 good footballers and 2 rugby reject bouncers. It works reasonably well.
It's still astounding how shit Chelsea are given the resource. Long may it continue.

Send him to Chelsea, they were good at theirs today.
Think you address it by playing Verbruggen.

Robbed by poor defending for the first 2 goals surely ?
Yes, but what about the football?
Whilst I completely agree . . . I don't honestly thing the referees are incompetent, some of them ( not many admitedly) are very good . . . . BUT, they're being undermined by VAR tossers who are too busy being noshed off on FA expenses to be paying attention to reality, it really is like some kind of fast show surreal reality. . . . BIN VAR, give refs their authority and responsibility back and the game will improve 10 fold within a month.

We need to score three a game against the big boys like Arsenal last season otherwise the game will be engineered to do us over. We’ve seen it at Spurs last season not one but three bad decisions has to be dodgy.I've used the word corruption too and maybe that's over stating it. OR maybe it's not? We know corruption exists within world football, just look at what happened with Juventus. I guess people were calling others conspiracy theorists at the time and look what happened there. "Big" team bias is 100% certain. Look at Fabinho on Ferguson last season, not even sent to VAR. Corruption is difficult to prove, legal teams are paid huge sums of money by the mega rich for a very good reason. As an unfair as it is, we just have to try and let it go or put our blinkers on as they'd like us to do. Personally I struggle as can't get past there being fairness in many walks of life. All boils down to
I haven't got as clue so really shouldn't comment . . . But he doesn't 'look' like a winner
PL refs are on £70k a year. Not that much all considered.
I'm with you . . .one reason for giving up my busines was it was built on honest hard earned success. . . . devalued by cheats. It would have been easier to cheat in the first place, but that's not my style. Walk away and do something else. . . . Unfortunately the world seems to be run and manged by cheats so we have to learn to live with it.I've used the word corruption too and maybe that's over stating it. OR maybe it's not?

Out of interest, do you think Caicedo deserved to stay on the pitch?
Terrible refereeing on that front. Should’ve been down to 9.

Defensively we were shocking today… that’s why we lost 
plain and simple. It’s not too surprising given our current injury/suspension list… but to be honest we’ve been conceding goals fun in the PL all season… it needs to be addressed.
That said, I expected a defeat today and was pleasantly surprised that we were as competitive as we were.
Looking forward to Brentford already.

Haaland screaming in Antony Taylor’s face way more aggressive than Dunk last weekend and nothing.
He definitely did.

What a messy game.
Officials poor again today but ultimately we paid the price for a mad 5 minutes in the first half.

Probably should have gone yes.
But we already had 45mins against 10, still doesn’t help the fact we didn’t trouble Sanchez enough, Adingra kept making the wrong decision & defensively we were poor.
