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

[FamilyGuy]

We are playing astonishingly slowly. Looks like a force field preventing positive passes during possession on the half way line. The risks we are taking when playing out from the back could easily gift them a second.

Absolutely this!

Need an early equaliser to stand any chance to win this otherwise can see us conceding again when chasing it later on.

 

[maltaseagull]

Oh do shut up.

As a Potter in as a usual supporter, I have to say we have been awful.

 

[Mike Small]

I was worried when I saw clips of them training this week. Looked pedestrian, cocky and arrogant. Like they've played tonight. It's so galling as we put so much effort into the bigger games. It's 3 points for beating anyone lads! Please perform in the second half. I'd probably take Trossard off - he's the epitome of what I've just typed tonight. Would you take a point now?

Pretty standard Brighton...losing against the bottom club. What’s new?

Since you asked, the gas pipes, half the wiring and 1/4 of the base flooring in my kitchen, nothing else though.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Summed up on the radio quite well.
We take so many risks in our own half but none in the final third, like we are playing back to front.
Personally, I am now convinced that Potter has banned any shots unless it is in the six yard box, Bissouma must do his head in with not only his long shots but nearly always miles off target.
Does he not realise that Wellbeck is great at shooting from just inside or just outside the box.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

No excuses here. Absolutely woeful.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

This is so fecking awful I have switched over to Name That Tune!

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Webster still getting back to form. dunk out of position. Temporary full backs. We haven’t got a lot going for us at the back........and still we play pitter patter at the back. In fact we have played more in our box than I can remember.
Let’s turn it around in the second half.

 

[A1X]

Look forward to seeing how Jahanbakhsh changes things when thrown on in the 87th minute as our only sub

 

[oldboyroy]

No easy game in premier league. That's what Potter will say if it stays like this.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It’s almost like Sky knew we’d be shit, which explains the West Ham analysis at 19:56

I now accept that relegation would be a disaster, we are useless against combative sides. So pissed off with how we are playing so far, the same as we always play when pressed by donkeys

 

[nordicgod]

Zola very unimpressed with Maupay’s technique.

What technique ? He can’t think quick enough and is a donkey , let’s hope we don’t get a penalty

In a sick way, may do us some good to lose so it knocks some sense into then for the run in...

 

[Weststander]

They haven't sat back at all? They're in our half for most of the game

They’ve played a counter attacking game.

ALWAYS 7 or 8 outfield players back in their own half, suffocating the life out of our telegraphed attacks.

 

[Stato]

Our approach has needed changing from the first fifteen minutes. Sheffield United are set up to press with the front players while the defence and midfield squeeze the space in their half. Pump it forward, give em the ball and then double up on the man with the ball. We did it at Chelsea.

This is our cup final game of the season. Literally safety. Unless we see a phenomenally better performance this half I want to see us get a manager that has the emotional intelligence to deal with the psychological aspects of the game.

Potter out.

He has proved he is not a seasider; lee side of a groyne I expect!

 

[Steve in Japan]

I love the Albion but, dear God, we can be very hard to watch.. I think Biss is up for it, but whose with him?

Pedestrian in that half, slow, short of ideas and no urgency. A homing crab - sideways and backwards. D +. Must do better.
