Brighton vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[JHB]

5 minutes gone. Opposition exploiting space in behind the wingbacks in transition. Tick. Total inability to defend a set play. Tick.

Does Glasner actually watch our games?

Lewis Dunk has not scored this season so is bound to open his 'Account' today.
👎 👎

Not another Own Goal adding to his illustrious tally. 😆 😆 👍

This Palace away kit isn't the best. It's a strange shade of gold (BBC comms - Verified )

Weeds seem to have loads of empty seats

It looks appropriately washed out.

Is it just me or is Munoz choosing a backward pass rather than taking on his man more since he came back from injury… or have teams just figured us out and defend deeper and more compact?

The latter. Sit deep. Draw the wingbacks up the pitch and then exploit the empty space in the channels when they win the ball

We look better but I’m yet to understand the justification for Pino’s continual inclusion.

I’m hoping my writing this will bring about a contradiction.

Disagree he is choosing to not go as forward as he did in the past.

The whole point of 3 CB is that they can cover if wing backs go forward.

Normally Grumpy says something bad about a player and bless me they score within three minutes.

That's right. But I think it has something to do with his injury break.

 

[TheBigToePunt]

Right, I've seen enough of Larsen now. Not convinced. Buy a different one.

But they aren’t covering. In the last few games teams have had loads of space in those channels

Dunk showing how shite he is there.

 

[lellbell]

Hughes booked already!!

The white 3rd kit is class. Why they insist on this s*** gold/mustard kit is beyond me

I was picking my moment towards the end so we cant concede 😉

 

[Boydie]

I think Larsen has been good linking play and chasing down...good signs

Key test will be when he gets a sniff of goal 🤞🤞

JSL was dreaming yesterday "Thank f*** I don't have to play in that gold kit again"

 

[Uphill]

Where is the creativity? Why isn't Munoz streaking down the wing and getting crosses in?
We are so predicatable now.
