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

Has he shagged your Mrs?
He gets plaudits from top six managers and the players speak highly off him ... but you think heks shit.
Today as with a number of games, it has been down to the players in the final third. He can only do so much.

The bloke can’t win football matches. Just look at his record? How long is it unfortunate that we don’t score? Of course the other managers talk well of him, he gift wraps points for them!

He current record deserves criticism.

 

[Ding Dong !]

The Jahanbash ( sp) and Gross substitutions where so uninspiring.

It was his substitutions which are the issue , needed pace in last 20 minutes not Gross.

Since Hughton left and considering the money we've spent, are we any better?

Points tally is all that matters, so if you consider this calender year especially, our long term form says absolutely not!

 

[Bold Seagull]

I think his 'Master' in Emotional Intelligence might actually be he wants to dominate people and why he got rid off some of the strong characters.... Maupay was 4 in 5 games before that incident. Tonight we were crying out for pace and he brings on Ali J and Gross.

Lamptey injury changed his sub thinking, Lallana was probably always coming off, and Trossard faded badly.

We played well tonight, no doubt we deserved the win. Var didn’t go our way, the crossbar rebounds didn’t go our way.

It has to turn. This wretched luck or fine margins not going our way will have to turn if we keep playing like this.

Delighted with Sanchez though. Especially the 2nd save.

 

[Ding Dong !]

So our last goal in open play was Villa away ?? Since then 2 pens only.........

 

[Deadly Danson]

why did groß take about ten minutes to take that throw in there? was a great opportunity to get it into the box

That just about capped off the evening. Firstly, he was trotting slowly to support his teammate and then took an age to take the throw. Imbecilic footballers do my head in.

The team are not playing for him. There is something very wrong inside the club. The players we have at this club are good enough to get to mid table but unfortunately there is no no self belief in the team. The best that we can hope for on Saturday is another draw! He is 2 or 3 levels above his ability!

I agree with many of your posts after a shite performance eg LCFC, but I can’t agree tonight.

We bossed a cocky Fulham team of a bunch of recently acquired ‘names’ who thought they were world beaters after their Leicester and Liverpool results. Potter, for his recent failings, expertly nullified their game of power, pace and relentless harrying. Upfront March and Lallana created. At last we were a threat at set pieces. Sanchez appears to be the keeper we’ve needed for ages.

Just that old chestnut now of strikers who don’t stay onside or score.

Veltman had the ball for the throw I thought right at the death...

Fulham are dog turd have been since day 1 this season and we are celebrating a point like we have won promotion, just garbage beat Sheff Utd next game otherwise it’s curtains, 6 points behind Newcastle and they have a game in hand. Arsenal are not staying near the bottom all season.

Who on earth is celebrating like we've won promotion? No one on here, not the players, not the management. A point is ok, I don't think anyone thinks its any more than that.

 

[Mancgull]

Important to get a clean sheet. We showed good resilience and energy.
Veltman came on for Lamptey as he seemed injured to me, hopefully ok for Sunday.
I thought we played well in patches but clear for the last 20 minutes that our main aim was not to get beaten, which would have been a disaster. This definitely affected our quality and our passing looked poor.
I thought we needed the energy of a Connolly or Maupay coming on for the last 20 minutes.
Big plus for me was that Dunk looked back to somewhere close to his best.
Goes without saying that Sunday is a massive game. Let’s hope Sheffield United put everything into their game tomorrow night and are knackered for Sunday.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

What more can he do tactically? Numerous chances, crosses flashing across the box, domination of the ball, and yet individuals miss control, make stray passes, miss clear headers, fluff shots.

Sorry, tactically absolutely nothing wrong with the setup today. This is down to player quality.

Some of you won’t, can’t, do anything but see it as the manager, but it’s on the players on the pitch when you have that much of the ball in and around their box that much.

There's a bizarre amount of not getting the rub of the green also. Quite a sickening lack of luck

Feels like we've been saying this forever.

Don't be coming on here spoiling my rant with your facts! Whoever it was was too slow.

Agree about Dunk to an extent but don't forget they didn't have a striker for most of the match.
Still, he looked more assured today than in recent weeks (or maybe even all season).

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Sorry it does not work like that, we simply are not clinical enough, hence our wretched form continues.

Ok we played better tonight, but honestly what the feck do we bring to the premier league ?

We are stinking it out currently, I really hope we win on Sunday....

Otherwise it’s gonna be a shite Christmas....
