We're talking about challenging for top 4.
Which we presently are.
I disagree.Yeah, they were. Created the better chances. The statistics show this. All we had over them was more of the football, which is a completely useless thing to have when you don't use said possession to create opportunities.
They had more shots, same shots on target, more xG. And just from watching the game you could see who looked more dangerous when they actually got it in to forward positions. Some of you have mistaken stale possession of the ball for being the better side.
Nobody 'challenges for top 4' just because of where they are in the table 9 games in. There have been seasons where teams like Blackpool or Hull are up there in the table after this number of matches. The table is an utterly meaningless representation of where a team is at right now.
Unless you genuinely think Brighton are in a top 4 challenge, shut up. We had this same nonsense after the Vila game where people focused on the league table rather than how we had been playing.
Just shut up please. You're only embarrassing yourself.
Im
Confused
Are you saying we might be bottom half or relegated
Wow, congrats!How'd you get that from my post...??
We'll probably be top half. Anywhere from 7th to 10th is possible.
How many points off of 4th place are we again?
I disagree.
It wasn't my perception that they were calm while we were passing the ball around them.
We give up more than our fair share of goals off of corners.
Wow, congrats!
You and everyone else on the planet thinks that.
Great job.
You may be right Room duder.Keeping the ball in football is utterly meaningless if you do not do anything with it. Even masters of possession like Xavi say this, we had the ball but it was sterile possession. Zero chance creation. If you can't use the ball to carve out opportunities, you're best off playing without it and relying on counters.
Whether they were or weren't calm is irrelevant. The facts are that they created more clear cut opportunities than we did. You can deny this all you like and talk about YOUR perception, but the stats clearly show this. What you think doesn't actually really matter to anybody.
Challenging? Ignore the table it's 9 games in and has zero relevance but on what fucking planet are we 'challenging' the top 4 teams?
Our away support is pretty incredible. Sold out and needed 202 ticketing points for this.
With a couple of additions in January I see no reason why we can't still mount a serious title challenge....May as well go strong because we sure as hell arent going to be challenging for top 4.
The same as we are off 11 th but of course our goal difference is -4How many points off of 4th place are we again?
Asking for a friend.
That -4 GD... is that... ENIC's fault too?The same as we are off 11 th but of course our goal difference is -4
Who bought the players ? Have nothing bar a starting eleven , & that’s questionable ? Talked about free flowing football & brought in Cpt Beige & the Charisma Crew? Was it the Glaizers ? Abramovich? Do you know who runs the club?That -4 GD... is that... ENIC's fault too?
Lol.Who bought the players ? Have nothing bar a starting eleven , & that’s questionable ? Talked about free flowing football & brought in Cpt Beige & the Charisma Crew? Was it the Glaizers ? Abramovich? Do you know who runs the club?
Managers are scapegoats when it goes , which it constantly has , tits up.
