David Edgar Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We wanted Hecke to have the ball, I think. Knew we could get them on his errors. Like, we would leave him free to recieve passes and trigger our press straight after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 52 minutes ago, Froggy said: I mentioned this yesterday to Kid Icarus. It's baffling. The game played out exactly how I thought it would. They did the exact same with us and constantly lost the ball yet continued to play that way. We just couldn't punish them. We would be home and hosed if we had Callum Wilson. I'm all for teams having a clear identity/philosophy in terms of how they play, but it's arrogant/naive as fuck from De Zerbi. It's always going to be high risk, but when you literally can't get out of your half (like in the first 45 last night) you need to revert to plan B.

Further than that we made sure to cut Lewis Dunk off to make it even harder for him. Eddie is some boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Yeah, we had the trap on Hecke, letting him come out and cutting off his passes. Felt a bit sorry for him at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Sticking Caicedo at RB was a crazy decision - especially since Gross has played there recently. But of a baffling team selection entirely, in fact. Reeked of a manager trying to be too clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Ah man, what a game, what a night. Had a great time at my first live match in years. Got a sore head and a sore throat this morning!! We started well first half, but I did worry once they pulled one back, with 3 fresh players on too, but credit to us for pushing on, and beating them convinicingly, and realistically, it could have been 5, 6 or 7 with some of the missed chances/saves in the second half. Gutted for little joe, as that looks like a hamstring that'll probably keep him out of the last 2 games (at least). But, onwards we go. One more win will do it, unless Villa do us a favour tomorrow, then we might have top 4 secured before Monday night.

Almiron has made Newcastle massive in their neck of the woods. Enciso idolised him so much he was afraid to ask for his shirt after a national game lol. I love that, love the idea of loads of people in Paraguay watching Newcastle-Brighton. Shame he didn't bury that chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 RAWK is delicious reading, their entitlement is off the scale. Common consensus is that this season has been a wasted season. Brighton and Villa are more than happy to take their Europa League place if they are "too good" for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bitterness they have for us on their is next level. I despise that football club because of the self righteousness of most of their fanbase. Tends to be the non-Scouse element of their support that are mainly like that in fairness too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) The marking for Burns goal was shocking. They started with one man half his height and behind him. Then he decided to mark Botman(I think) leaving no one even on Burn for a free header. Edited May 19, 2023 by KetsbaiaIsBald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Im still pissed about the ref not giving a pen to Wilson for that tackle, and the only angle they showed you don’t see that Wilson plays the ball a bit ahead then he gets clipped on the ankle, same with the outrageous shirt pull on Dan Burn, his kit was a fucking flag. And the yellow on Bruno was the softest shit I’ve seen. . So FUCKING happy today as well, what a game, what a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless injured - it's the decision to bench Colwil that didn't make sense. The young lad isn't good enough on the ball for that game plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are probably right. For me it looked like he clipped the ankle. Didn’t help that the commentators talked about Nunez getting a pen for the similar shit as well .

TK-421 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) My boss is a Brighton fan and was at the match in the away section last night.
