Brighton & Hove Albion 1 - 0 Newcastle United - 24/09/17 (post-match from p25)

[Klaus]

How long has it been since we won 4 in a row in the PL?

[Nate]

You can see Hayden's lost a touch of confidence, he's somewhat of a passenger in this form. I'd bring Shelvey on sooner rather than later.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Perez' work rate is really immense these days. He's not doing enough going forward though

 

I'm shocked how good he's become off the ball tbh, but yeah on the ball nowhere near good enough.

[LV]

I know this isn't going to be popular but I'd have Mitro ahead of Joselu.

[54]

Very scrappy half that.

[CPL]

Atsu's been absolutely dog s***.

 

What? No. He's desperate to make something happen and has been our most threatening player this far.

 

Agree, he has been threatening and his pace is clearly causing Bruno problems.

[Darth Crooks]

Funny half that. We're really getting these frustrated. Have to capitalise on that. Looked really composed in spells.

[Geordie Ahmed]

We did a bit better towards the end of the half BUT lacking it up top

[Shearergol]

If only we’d recognised we needed to sign a goalscorer.

 

Nice to see us create as many chances though.

[Ikon]

Very poor game. Need to find some tempo and rythm.

[Rich]

Very solid last 15 minutes, starting to exert control and pass it around well. Would just like to see us service Joselu a bit more in the air, that's where his strength is and we've passed up a good few crossing positions.

 

Merino is different gravy.

[Mole_Toonfan]

I know this isn't going to be popular but I'd have Mitro ahead of Joselu.

 

Bit hard when he's suspended

 

But in any case he's not offering anything Joselu isn't.

[SUPERTOON]

We look a little bit more open at the back, hopefully sort that out at HT.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Again, fairly comfortable and had some good chances. We should really have buried one, as should Brighton.

[joeyt]

Merino is sexy as fuck when he wins the ball back and gets his head up

 

This game has an Andre Marriner dodgy decision written all over it

[sixx]

I know this isn't going to be popular but I'd have Mitro ahead of Joselu.

 

I agree. There's absolutely nothing to suggest Joselu is in any way better. Then again I would have Gayle ahead of them both.

[Hanshithispantz]

Struggling to think of a side in the history of football more desperate for a new front 2.

 

 

[Dave]

Not bad at all that. Brighton have had most of the ball (their passing has been excellent, barely misplaced one pass) and looked dangerous on occasions but we've come closest to scoring, should have at least one.

 

Merino awesome once again.

[hakka]

Only listening to radio, but sounds like Perez or Joselu should have scored. Didn't sound like Brighton were producing much other than first 10 mins.

[Smal]

Joselu has been poor. An on form Gayle making runs in behind on the counter would be more useful to us.

[Figures 1-0 Football]

Thought we're well in control and it's going exactly to plan.

 

Stem their attacks for 20 minutes and then we've controlled the game and had all of the better chances.

 

Joselu really should have scored like.

[aussiemag]

Merino is playing a different game.

[Scoot]

Atsu's been absolutely dog s***.

 

What? No. He's desperate to make something happen and has been our most threatening player this far.

 

My thoughts too.

[James]

I thought Dave has been everywhere otherwise a tame first half

[Willow]

Gayle will be the difference here, keep joselu on and get dwight to help out
