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

Shadow of the player he was, sadly

Indeed. But very rarely criticised on here. 100% responsible for the 2 dropped points after VAR missed his handball goal.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I take it all back...we are magnificent.

Should have had @ll 3 but hey

I am still 100% convinced trossard is now our weakest link.

The lion of Judah in for trossard and we are champions league bound.

Get on the phone to Celtic and get big Shane back. Forget some of the poor performances up there, it's a shitshow at the moment and not down to him.

Don't need to start him every week but get him on to defend leads. We did it last year. Don't know why we felt we had outgrown the need for someone like that on the bench.

Duffy doesn't want to sit on the bench. Which is fair enough.

Disappointing not to win after having looked the better team for most of the game. More poor defending and set pieces our downfall again. However, we would have taken a point before the game and, all in all, I see it as a good away point gained.

Glad I'm not the only one. Yes - disappointing that we conceded two goals the way we did, but a point away at a team with their best ever start (or something) has to be a bit more satisfying than for many on here. I suppose it's because it's on the back of two actually disappointing results. Taken in isolation - it's a good point.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Are you saying Dunk is so unprofessional that he is deliberately playing badly because he doesn’t have faith in the manager?

No, not at all. Ridiculous comment!

 

[Gazwag]

Watching some of you take the bait funnier than watching us play at the moment.

French ****

 

[Normandy seagull]

Wow, that is some of the fastest back-peddalling I've ever seen. Or has being called out made you realise something?

Not at all Potter will take us down and should be sacked simple. The truth is he is already getting stick on here by many and rightly so

 

[Farehamseagull]

Some of the Potter haters here are a disgrace, could practically hear them celebrating that West Ham equaliser.

Yep. They’re an embarassment and don’t have a clue about football.

And no part of you thinks Potter takes some responsibilty? Playing 3 at the back. Chopping and changing. Playing zonal marking. Clearly not coaching set pieces properly.

And worst of all, today we play ****ing 4 at the back. Might has well have kept Duffy. Because we certainly wouldn't be doing worse if we had and he and Dunk were our CBs.

How many is that conceded from set pieces this season? Is it down to the players to decide how to defend set pieces? Hasn't been in any team I've ever played in.

Dreadful performance against a WHU that didn't turn up. This is very worrying now that we can't put away teams that haven't been up for the games, exactly the same against Fulham. We are so shti

We're in the Premier League so we can't be that sh1t.

He's doing it at Celtic. Not even on the bench some weeks.

Funny how we seem to be playing so many teams when they're "under par". We seem very reluctant to give our own team much credit.

So that's Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham and more all being under par when we've played them? Wonder what the common factor might be?

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Unlucky today. UTA.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'm happy we scored twice. And I think we should have won today against this WHU side, having scored twice.

As a defensive unit, we are going backwards.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Zonal marking was directly responsible for their second goal. Two defenders got in each others' way and blocked Dunk's view - no opponent was involved until the ball rebounded in off Soucek. With man marking you have ONE man free to attack the ball on the near post and he heads it away.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Potter is being let down big time by player errors. I almost wish a genuine PL quality team come in for him. He is the best manager we have ever had imo, but the players can’t do what he wants them to do.

The most delusional post of the day!

Yes - when commentators say this, we criticise them and point out that maybe it's because we played well. But if NSC says it...

Yeah I do enjoy a bit of that thank-you
