It needs fumigating everywhere. Gonna be a helluva job for whoever comes in, because most of these players have given up. I'd rather we stay up personally. I think it would be better to open a few of their eyes in January when we start shipping their asses out to Championship sides. The rest will buck up.

There was only ever one plan, even at 1-0 down there was no urgency to play or win the ball, tactically restricted and the current crop of players don’t have the ability to do anything different (with the exception of 2/3). Personally I think the loss was inevitable, trying to contain Chelsea/minimise the damage was the plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 yes but we still lost 0-3. would have been more bearable if we'd at least tried to have a go. might have lost 4 or 5 but it would still have been no worse than what happened today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not defending it by the way, just saying how I seen it. Its about perspective IMO, I’d prefer it the way it was rather than watching us getting smashed 7 nil like Norwich, if we’d have opened up, they’d have ripped us to bits at a canter. I don’t like it, but come the end of the season the GD may be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And the benefit to having a go is that although you don't change the result against Chelsea, you do get practice in having some possession and moving the ball round which stands you in good stead for playing the beatable times.

When you are playing a defensive game, then your players have to pressure the opposition, or they have the run of the field with open spaces all over the pitch to pick out players. Against top quality opposition they will pick you off eventually. We didn't even have any plan going forward on the counter. The entire game we were passing the ball back to Darlow, who then just kicked it upfield with no direction, giving the ball back to Chelsea to come forward unchallenged again time after time.

Pokerprince2004 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Jones was never going to change that much in ten days but sorry like that team selection was fucking awful. Says something when 5 of the players on the bench are stronger than those who played. I'd have given him more credit if he picked the right team and we'd lost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 jones played our worst centre half and a fullback as part of a 3 man centre back team and left 2 better ones on the bench. left our best keeper on the bench. left our 2 best midfielders on the bench. left our only LB on the bench. it didnt work last team against a worse team. lets try it again!

The Prophet Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Lots of hysteria over a totally expected result. Chelsea are massively superior from the management to the players on the pitch. The lineup was concerning and goes to show Jones might be a tidy coach, but he can't afford too many more games as manager, but we already knew that.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 We've just seen the result of 4 years of neglect since we were promoted. A lot of players aren't good enough, but we're poorly coached too. Benitez had us well coached and we reaped the benefits. Jones isn't the answer. We need a new manager for Brighton to even stand a chance of getting a positive result. Fuck off making shortlists and doing interviews. Getting it done or we're increasing the chances of us going down by the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 There is a lot of shit posted in here obviously by people who haven't watched us play for the last couple of seasons. If they had they were stop talking about picking our better players as if Almiron, Lewis, Schar, Fernandez, Willock, joe fucking Linton are better than who we have starting. They aren't. We have one good player Wilson, and one who might be good ASM if he could be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Almiron runs around a lot, no end product at all. Schar cant defend and completely undisciplined. Fernandez old and slow. Willock, have you seen him play this season? Lewis fuck knoiws what's wrong with him and Joe Linton well nobody'd defending him I hope. That's the reality.

andycap Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'd pick our best eleven and go from there. Dubravka Manquillo Lewis Fernandez Schar Hayden (holding) Willock Longstaff Miggy Maxi Wilson In a 4-1-2-2-1 formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically we're also a better attacking unit with Almiron in the side. The jury is out on Lewis and Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
