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

[Si Gull]

We're so slow going forward W Ham have more than enough time to get everyone back.

 

[maltaseagull]

Potter going to Everton? Can see Rafa being sacked & Potter getting frustrated with us ?

Nah! He wouldn't have a clue there. They have too many strikers to choose from

 

[raymondo]

Clear offside, don’t know why it took so long.

..

 

[Solid at the back]

Just so awful. We just try get near the byline and square it. Someone take some responsibility, be calm on the ball and hit it

 

[oldboyroy]

Please please please let's just score a goal even an own goal/off someone's backside just to give us some confidence back

 

[Napier]

Frankly the fact the check took so long is probably evidence that it should have stood, either way, we need to take advantage. Nice to see Kavanaugh screwing another team over for a change.

On the other hand, we have shown that we are perfectly good at screwing ourselves over without the help of the ref

 

[Mr deez]

I pretty weird they didn't check the most obvious foul in there, the handball

 

[GT49er]

Bellend process that - Lallana was clearly fouled, that’s the first thing they should have checked.

Under VAR rules, attackers are allowed to run through Brighton players and knock them over (see Burnley goal in game 1). Thank f*** it was offside.

 

[kjgood]

Or West Ham are just excelente this season

Yes they are but we look slow ponderous and really weak in certain areas

 

[London Irish]

The shame is Sanchez is a brilliant talent - but did he need that extra season or two in the Championship to toughen him up for all this rough stuff? Potter had to make a panicky decision when Ryan lost confidence

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Bellend process that - Lallana was clearly fouled, that’s the first thing they should have checked.

I may be wrong but look again in slow mo, he was being very canny, it looked like an obvious foul but Adam got in the way.
He knows West Ham are good at corners and he was trying to stop a possible goal.
It was very clever though and could easily have been called a foul.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Poor game for Moder so far, so many weak passes/assists

 

[Robinjakarta]

So true. Our identity has changed, the Brighton Way is now quite famously PPM.

And we’re being roundly mocked for it now in every match by presenters, pundits and journos.

Most of what I see and hear from them is praise including from the commentary team including Chris Sutton right now. Who's mocking us?

 

[Steve Foster]

Nah! He wouldn't have a clue there. They have too many strikers to choose from

I am sure he will do his best to turn them into defenders

 

[Fungus]

Cucu repeatedly has acres of space on the left, just waiting for a decent ball...

 

[Mayonaise]

West Ham really well organised tonight. We are playing well but cannot break them down so chances are few.

All the time only 0-1 we are still in it

 

[oldboyroy]

Potter going to Everton? Can see Rafa being sacked & Potter getting frustrated with us ?

Can see this happening. Graham must be as frustrated as the 1s who booed on Saturday and the rest of us that he doesn't have the tools that his football deserves

 

[razer]

We ain't scoring with our very, very slow build up play. It's painful.

 

[jcdenton08]

Moder's corners are embarrassing.

 

[Stat Brother]

Interesting to hear Johnny Cantor saying how they are targeting our defending of corners. Every one in our 6 yard box and putting Sanchez under pressure.
Maybe Gross is on the bench to learn from that?

They aren't targeting our defending at corners.

They are doing what they have done all season, attack the 6 yard box.



The Albion have done nothing to counteract that.
They have maintained their shaky zonal defence all but inviting West Ham to play to their strengths.
