Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Newcastle United - 04/05/2025

[Tsunami]

Playing like they don’t want CL football. That was awful, I guess we bring Gordon on but, unless we manage to get Isak involved we’re losing this.

Joelintons presence a massive miss in midfield. 

 

 

Don't think it's that tbh, Willock has been pretty involved. Just feels like we have lacked some quality in the final third, and that's not what Joelinton usually brings.

 

Minteh's touch of magic has been the difference. We've had far better positions than Brighton but produced fuck all.

[Ikon]

Will we make early subs? Or wait until it’s too late?

What the feck are on about, we haven't done that at all.

The last 5 minutes we have walked around the pitch, zero press and body language from players is as lackadaisical as it comes. We have sat off and been too slow out of the back all half. Tonali is the only one trying to get things going at a quicker pace.

Minteh is an arrogant shit. I think he's peeved that we sold sold him

Isak has been poor. No service but not offering much either. 
 

Hate to see him chasing defenders all game. Need him to grab the game here and win it for us like. 

Isak would have about 40 goals if he any players 5-10 yards from him. 

[JT24]

Brighton have been leaking goals recently so I will inevitably be furious when we don’t lay a glove on them in the second half.

They haven’t like.

We were given such a gift in having this CL chase in our own hands and we're fucking it up.

contrary to popular forum belief I think we’ve been ok, probably the better team and gotten into the better positions. Jus irritating that Brighton seem to have twice as many players as us in their box when we get into good positions.

Our approach play has been slow paced so they've had time to regroup. They just want to sit back and counter when we over commit. 

 

Also we need to work in training on cutbacks, we've gone near post a couple of times with nobody from our side even making that run.

What on earth are you seeing, you really think they've outplayed us. They've had one shot on target, and we've been in their box so many times, and been very poor and wasteful. Outplayed is just utter nonsense.

We had 7 in the box as the ball was being played to Minteh and still conceded

Bollocks we have been the better team like. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

So poor from Sandro, didn't think he'd do something like that

I hope not, we generally do worse every time we start making changes on the hour mark. We need an early goal in the second half.

Midfield nowhere near good enough on the ball.

 

Starting position is always too high. They receive it with back to goal all the time.

He apologised after scoring against us in the cup. Proper weird behaviour after never playing for us

[SiLvOR]

No clean sheets in 8 for Brighton. I dare not finish my trail of thought

He wanted to play for us and didn't want to leave. Believe it or not. 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

We’ve been shite.  They’ve been shite but had one moment with a deflected goal.  Should be 0-0.  
 

this game is all about us scoring the next goal and soon. 
 

and isak waking the fuck up.

I'm not seeing what you are mate, that's football i guess.

We need one of our players to show some arrogance in the second half.

I think it's been dead even. Perhaps we have been in more dangerous positions overall but Sandro was horrible on that one move, show him his weaker side for gawds sake
