Brighton (H, FAC) 28/2: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Alan]

You'd think the trio of Lemina, Gomes, and Doyle would be able to decently control the pace of things.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

We’re playing exactly how this side was always going to play, spawny goal aside.

 

[YoungWolf]

Tbh considering the line up I don’t think we’ve done that badly. Defended the box largely well (tried to give them one then though!)

 

[Jinky]

No idea how they haven’t scored there.

 

[MobNet Wolf]

You'd think the trio of Lemina, Gomes, and Doyle would be able to decently control the pace of things.

Not if there’s no one in front of them.

 

[Alan]

That was a let-off for sure.

Buonanotte is giving Fernando Forestieri. Don't like it.

 

[NicholasG1973]

I just don’t understand this team.

And we’re playing fucking dreadful.

Surely - surely - this has to be a bigger game than Newcastle.

 

[YoungWolf]

I mean I get it, he’s not a back to play type of forward but why is he incapable of controlling the ball or passing to a team mate?!

 

[Alan]

Not if there’s no one in front of them.

They've been as guilty as the rest of the team about losing possession cheaply tbf. Whole squad has been poor about it.

 

[Jack Regan]

We might as well be playing Fabio up front for how terrible Hwang and Bellegarde are at holding up the ball.

Admittedly lumping it over their heads doesn't do them any favours.

 

[Jinky]

There’s nothing stopping Gaz from putting Fraser on through the middle and shifting Hwang to the left where he’s far more effective.

 

[Wolftone]

Hwang must be subbed surely? Not only has his touch been crap, he looks knackered as well.

 

[Alan]

This doesn't look great for Mario.

Edit: not me getting anxious for nothing.

 

[Loki]

Better get the A team on second half.

 

[Banjo]

This doesn't look great for Mario.

Edit: not me getting anxious for nothing.

I think it's just really painful rather than any lasting damage

 

[Jack Regan]

Nasty that one, stamps right down the back of his Achilles, sort of challenge that fucked Boukari here.

Seems to be ok fortunately.

 

[Alan]

The way comms love to refer to that tackle as being "dragged down his Achilles" puts me on edge!

*whisper*...better than Sako...*whisper*

 

[Carrotdude]

If Fabio was up front putting in this performance…

 

[Alan]

Oh Mario, you had so much space, no need for the extravagant there.
