Brighton (A) 29/4: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Deano]

Rested their best 3 players and they look like they're playing a different sport. This could be 6

 

[WsWolf]

Is that really what you’re seeing out there?

Sloppy passes all over the shop, going through the motions defensively. I can see it.

 

[SSB]

If we’re still not safe as Lop keeps alluding to, I can’t see why he’s let them jet off back home a couple of times in the last month. We’re currently playing like we’re on the beach.

 

[jd1981]

They’re better than us but we have been a shambles as we have been most of this season away from home.

 

[The Bear]

The silver lining is that Neto looks lively and our best outlet

 

[t3ch]

Nunes having a terrible game

 

[Carsy]

Can get 250-1 for us to win now

 

[Alan]

We don’t look lazy in any way, we look totally beaten tactically. We’ve no clue how to match the way they’re playing.

Yeah, he's looked really good.

I wonder how different the game might have been if the ref didn't blow for fuck all. (probably not a lot)

Showing a lot of speed this match, nice to see

 

[The Bear]

Nunes and Neto switched wings now. Probably with the theory that Nunes can't be any worse over on the right.

Edit - switched back again...

 

[Haggstone]

I actually don’t think we’ve been bad at all going forwards. Less said about us at the back the better.

 

[WsWolf]

Lemina has just passed a 5 yard pass straight to a Brighton player in his own box. Must be tactics.

We look slow and sloppy though, mentally not quite on the mark, and that's probably because they're 5% more relaxed because of the Palace win

 

[b3h]

As mentioned at least Neto looks like he can still whack the R2 button. Was worried his body wouldn't quite keep up with his head

 

[Alan]

Lemina has just passed a 5 yard pass straight to a Brighton player in his own box. Must be tactics.

It’s their movement and positioning and we don’t know where they’ll be at any point. That’s knowledge of the opposition, not laziness.

 

[WsWolf]

He didn't move he stood there and Lemina passed it right to him. Absolutely nothing to do with tactics, if they were ripping us to shreds with 10/15 pass moves I could understand but they aren't.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Nunes facing his own goal 1/10
Nunes facing their goal 7/10

 

[AndyWolves]

Brighton are so good at playing through the press

Tactics are more than just what you do with the ball, though.
