duo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Proof that we need to spend money in the attack. Hopefully it'll spur transfer activity next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Was a difficult match, it lost all its pace after 60 mins. Was in the south stand so couldn’t see a lot of the action at the other end and couldn’t make out why our goal was disallowed. What was the consensus? I felt Bruno had his poorest game for us, Joelinton was quality. Our back four were mostly decent, especially Burn and Botman. Almiron made some good runs but couldn’t come up with anything from them. Wilson battled well but couldn’t get any space and Maxi was off the pace and lost almost every 50-50 he had today. A point was good for us although Brighton shaded the game for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It was a high foot. Ref blew before he’d even hit it at goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 First half was very even. Second half they pushed a little higher and pressed and played really well in the middle, they were helped by their 343 formation which allowed them to press higher. We had no impact subs and it showed. We could only hang on for the point. Maxi was awful today, back to his frustrating self. Calum seemed to struggle and was isolated too much, he put up a good fight though! Miggy was great in first half and lost it in second. Far too weak when on any 50/50 challenge. Trippier just does not seem at 100% yet, his defending was woeful today. Botman was hesitant but solid, too early to judge. Burn and Schar very good, another 8/10 from each. our midfield three tried hard but were outnumbered and outplayed for the majority of the match. Bruno getting caught with the ball too often. VERY GOOD AWAY POINT!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Kinda feel like there are 4/5 away games you expect to get beat in and 4/5 you would expect to win if challenging for Europe. The remaining 10 or so can go either way. Brighton on paper is one of the harder of these 10 and a point is a point gained rather than 2 lost. looking for a performance rather than the result next weekend, then one or 2 additions to make it a solid and decent start to the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Novocastrian said: A touch of hyperbole? I’ve not seen anyone say we should be challenging for top 4. We should, in my opinion, be challenging for the peripheral European places. We need to make improvements in the final third to make that happen and we’ve now played two games without any attacking reinforcements. We finished mid-table last season and as such could reasonably be considered to be a year ahead of schedule now. Top 7/8 is ambitious but absolutely within the scope of this team as long as we can bring in a couple of quality additions. To not try and achieve that would be a dereliction of duty for me, considering the ownership group have ambitions to be an elite club. since being promoted alongside ourselves, Brighton have been actively improving, whilst we sat in a pool of stagnant kebab grease for 2.5 years. Have Brighton qualified for europe, yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I really don't like Brighton. Should be stinking it up in the Champo given their history. #caveat: I'm jealous of the improvements they've made as a club in recent years. They've come on leaps and bounds. Incredible really.

STM Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 If you are in here saying "played bad", "bad performance", you want to go and look at our performances from a year ago. It says everything about Eddie Howe and the new Newcastle, that during our "bad performance" we were fairly level on possession, kept a clean sheet and came away from a point. Plenty to work on but all in all a fairly decent day at the office. Also Botman played and was virtually flawless. What a future he has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Was very obvious we need to replace ASM and Almiron today. Just no end product. Point gained as they deserved it more. Good chat with some Brighton fans after, decent club and fans. Wish them well this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron harried all game and made some good runs, just his delivery let him down. Maxi had a game to forget. I love Maxi but even if Eddie gets the best out of him and gets him playing more for the team, I don’t think he’s ever going to be super consistent game to game. If we do manage to become a top six team we’ll need a player we can really depend on every game, but we’re obviously not at that point yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) ASM had a typical half good half bad performance for me today, but honestly I thought Wilson stood out as the worst of the 3 and Almiron was impressive at times. Dunk completely dominated Wilson and you could tell they'd got in his head a bit. Everything he did apart from that cross looked off it. Of course the good thing about Wilson is that he can have games like that where he still scores, unlike the other 2.

OverThere Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I would be trying Fraser next game, at least sometimes an end product Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
