Brighton (H) 05/10/25 - Build up & Match day thread

[Loki]

Never thought I'd say this but I would have rather kept Hwang on.

 

[Jinky]

He didn’t need to do this. We were comfortable. Now we are offering absolutely nothing offensively and defending the edge of our area.

You’re just asking for trouble.

 

[Alan]

@YoungWolf you're in and around coaching circles, right? What are the vibes about "parking the bus" like this from those folks?

 

[Bertiewolf]

I’d swap Larsen for the big fella now

 

[AndyWolves]

It's too easy to get hemmed in with 3 ATB, unless teams fear the counter they'll press higher.

We don't have much on the break

 

[Jinky]

WE HAVE NO ONE TO PASS TO WHEN WE HAVE THE BALL, VÍTOR.

 

[Wolftone]

Tzinas had trials at Nuremberg

For me it’s just bizarre that you’d do it so early, without a serious counter attacking threat to keep their defenders “honest”. You’re just allowing them to camp in. We don’t look like we are going to use the additional defender to try and get hold of the ball either.

 

[White Wolf]

There's no outball and we are so, so narrow. Choice to switch system is terrible.

 

[Wolftone]

This ref has given us absolutely nothing

 

[Jinky]

Off the post! That would have been it.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Well we've had the better chances.

 

[Jinky]

What a block from Krejci, even though it was offside.

 

[Hawkguy]

Krejci is awesome.

Also, how is Andre ever on the bench. He might be the most important player on the team.

 

[Bertiewolf]

Strange subs?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Hanging on for dear life with over half hour left.

Risky.

It does feel like we are. But in reality they've created nothing unless they've been offside.

 

[Jinky]

Wolfe for Bueno, straight swap.

Bellegarde for JSL. Think that means we’re playing with Munetsi as a false 9?

 

[YoungWolf]

Well I don’t understand those subs either

 

[Jack Regan]

So now we're playing with no striker... Bizarre!

 

[Bertiewolf]

Ref has given us less than nothing
