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

[Andy84]

I’m buzzing to escape with a point there. With 10 mins to go losing at the Amex it’s a class result

Thought Barnes was probably the best of a middling to poor bunch. Only one who showed a bit of urgency on the ball across the 90. Way too much sloppy passing and indecision from the rest. We move on.

 

Agreed. Was strange to see us take so long to move the ball today; was like having a few Longstaffs on the pitch in that regard.

They've absolutely gone

Have you seen them recently?

 

Yes, but you just know they'll turn up against us, in the league.  Still think we can get something though.

[Keggy_Keagal]

Today we did what they say the best big sides do which is play poorly and get a result. Hope it's an omen. Now if the Scousers can do us a little favour......

Probably our toughest remaining game so a good point. Gordon must play next week you’d think. 

Annoying that he always moves Barnes over to the right. But I did think Barnes actually looked good on the right today. Especially when he was coming into central areas to receive the ball.

Joelinton big miss 🫤

 

He is, but our best midfield 3 got schooled there last time. 

 

Think it's deeper than that. Not good enough on the ball centrally. We rely far too much on work out wide.

[Kanj]

Isak was gasping for the ball and the few times I thought he’d let it rip he does a very weird pass / cross 

[looneytoon]

Tripps made several crucial challenges. Either him or Barnes was our best player

[Elma]

If Liverpool and Palace can do their bit now we could all but confirm it with a win next week.

Add "all but". Depends on GD.

[JUICE690]

Is there a reason the Brighton player didn't get booked for the handball? Looked deliberate.

Must better match up for us

I thought Wilson looked the best he’s been in ages. 

 

We were better when he replaced Willock for sure.

 

Allowed Isak a bit more freedom to roam as he was occupying their centre backs more.

 

Unlucky not to score.

 

Also thought Barnes was decent down the right and added more balance as Murphy was not at the races today.

[andycap]

The Wilson chance imagine osula in that position with his switch onto his left peg and bust the net.

Question is can we beat Arsenal for a 4th time this season?

[sixx]

Would have taken that before the match. Hate that non entity of a club. 
 

Got a lot wrong today and Tonali and Bruno were awful. Once Wilson was on Isak had a lot more freedom which helped. 

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Keane going on about other players apparently cheating with a straight face. I don’t think I’d ever tire of smashing the dog wanking, bell end in the face with a baseball bat

VAR was too busy trying to find any reason to not give the pen.

Agree with most of these but I’d mark Willock down massively for the dive 

Not sure why, it was his only option. Only guilty of not selling it as well as Gordon does.

Fucking wasted all that injury time pissing about.

Pope had 2 goals kicks, each which took 30 seconds to take.

Our players just fucking pissing about on the fucking ball.

The game was there for us to win and we sat back and said ‘Brighton, do you want it?’

Honestly, our mentality can be so fucking weak at times.

No pressing, a minute left and their goalkeeper has the ball, no one pressed him.

Wilson had probably the best chance of the game in the 96th minute, that forced an excellent save from their keeper.

Willock was Willock and the other two were well off it as was Murphy. Nobody was committing anyone to make space either with the ball or with a run in a space until the second half and the games/subs opened it up a bit.

 

Really odd game as they’ll be annoyed too as they were pretty shit with all the same faults as us.

[Erikse]

Expected a loss given our history with them. Good result imo!

We should have created more. We just dallied about with the ball.

[Smal]

If Joelinton is out I do not really want to see Willock in the Everton game. We can play Wilson and Isak for that.

Our fucking weak mentality saw us boss the second half and get a deserved equaliser right at the end
