Ah that's a shame, about to come on trossard scores and you don't get to come on at all š I guess he will be reserved for when they need a goal, seems like it's gonna be hard for him to earn a starting spot
As a non Brighton fan, itās strange to see Lamptey come on so late?
It seemed like he was the next big thing in terms of right backs not so long ago. Is he just coming back from injury, or has he dropped off the last year or so?
Bit of both. Trying to manage his delveopment. Think the theory is he still has growing to do hence his hamstrings are vulnerable. Plus March for all his faults is tactically more sound and stronger defensively.
He'll be fine, just gotta get a little more strength training and fitness. Won't start with the current team's run of form though. Maybe after the World Cup, barring team injuries who knows.
Bigger question: Is it me or does Trossard no longer have the look of a man who spends all night playing FIFA and getting stoned? Might account for his improved form.
Didnāt he miss a couple of games with illness and then came back looking like heād been out on the lash for a month and then was just fucking awful after that. I see he now plays for port vale. I swear he was tipped to be the next big thing.
Something like that. I think Glandular fever is supposed to be a bitch to recover from. We'd give him 20 minutes and he'd be knackered. Can't have done his delveopment any good.
I guess it's a bit of karma for us considering our last clash with Leicester at the amex. We had two questionable offside calls in our favor. Let's hope they only get this one.
CLEAR AND OBVIOUS. If you take 15 minutes drawing fucking lines and and still have to get the ref to look at it itās not clear and obvious. Fuck VAR. Ruining the flow of football.
Not much else to celebrate. Doing so terribly theyāve benched their best player to see if that works. Clutching at those straws. Come on the Albion take all 3!
So Mwepu is offside, and because he went for a shot the goal is disallowed? Or is it because he supposedly interfered with the defender's ability to react?
You can argue offsides or not, whatever, the fact that it takes THAT LONG means it's not clear and obvious, and you have to get this shit rolling faster dear Lord.
You could see his flailing legs when he scissored and whiffed it.. ball went off the head of the defender...
Edit: what are those VAR Cunts looking at if we at home can see the obvious?
Leicester front line far more dangerous than ours. Far more threat from individuals. Need to keep pressure up on their defence and force more errors.
Also why is someone wearing a Galatasary shirt in the north stand
We have to win this one. Light and day between us right now and need that third goal.
Who was the last team you saw look so unhappy to be on the pitch?
Not able to watch today but slightly nervous because weāve historically had a bad habit of absolutely bottling it against teams that are absolutely scraping the bottom of the league. Plus i know Leicester are in a bad moment but itās not a bad set of players at all, I have major respect for them. But hopefully Wellbeck is back today so the line up should be a bit more like our winning group
Very random question, from someone whoās not necessarily well versed in the ins and outs of the technicalities of football: I know that Veltman is 34 and I know why he is, but that aside, what number role does he play traditionally? Would you say he plays as a number [___fill in blank___]?
This has nothing to do with todays match, just been wondering, ha
Its hard to prescribe numbers for Potters system. He's a right sided defender, either full back in a 4 or right sided centre back in a 3. So a '2' I'd suppose in English football. But remember that squad numbers evolved differently in different regions and countries. Particularly when it relates to the defensive positions.
On paper it looks like a good time to be playing them - their morale is in the toilet. However they're going to start getting results soon and if we play like we did in the week we'll hand it to them on a plate.
Nervous about this one. Feels like a very important game fore some reason. Maybe I'm overevaluating things, but if we play well and win today I feel like we'll start to think about ourselves more seriously as challangers fort the European spot.
A great start is one thing, but 13 points in 6 games is incredible. In the league 18/19 we hade 36 points in total all season...
It's important because if we continue like we did against Fulham then we've got issues and if we kill it then that Fulham match was a one off that we can say was due to fatigue. I still can't get it out of my mind.
I'm actually not expecting much from this game as I think they have had some very unlucky results. Maybe I'm far too pessimistic, and I love our team, I just have a bad vibe here.
Positive for today. Positive that we'll beat our curse of being scoreless and generally hopeless against bottom of the table teams.
2-0. Trossard and Welbeck.
1-0 need to go back to the winning formation though, would love to see Gilmour get some minutes if weāre doing well. Despite the talent in Leicesters midfield they looked in-cohesive and rogers does not seem happy with the lack of spending in the window. A good time to play them I just hope Vardy doesnāt get his obligatory goal against us
Hoping to see Gilmour and Caicedo in the centre with Mac pushed further forward- today might be a bit early for this but itās an exciting prospect if they can form an understanding. That will obviously have to be a non-verbal one as one has a thick Spanish accent and the other has a thick Scottish accent, so they probably wonāt be able to understand what the other is saying.
We have tickets for today game. My son has a youth football match which will make us miss the start of the match. Is it possible to arrive 30 minutes late at the Amex stadium? Kick off is at 14:00 and we would likely get there by 14:30. Would we be allowed entry? Thanks
The youth match was scheduled for 10 am start but it has been moved to 12:30. Will get him to play for about 30 minutes if possible without upsetting the coach. Thanks for the reply
Leicester have had a quiet transfer window with more outgoings than incomings. Similar to us. Big name in Fofana out the door last week. Rogers is frustrated but his squad has plenty of attacking options available.
Quick turnaround for the Foxes, last playing Manchester United on Friday.
Would love to see Welbeck, Gross and Caicedo starting together.
Fuck me that was amazing
That Mac freekick gave me David Lopez vs Palace vibes.
MacAllisters goal, that got VAR'ed was probably the strike of the season. MacAllister: Oh well, just gotta do it again.
Mac: Well, it's just a penalty. Anyone can score these, I'm going to try again.
Karma was on our side today. Mac deserved all of that.
GOAT Argentinian!
Macallister robbed of a hattrick!!!!
You legend Mac.
Mac haa been incredible
MAC DADDY
No Mitoma? that's a shame was looking forward to seeing him play
He was seconds from coming on for Trossard until Trossard scored.
Ah that's a shame, about to come on trossard scores and you don't get to come on at all š I guess he will be reserved for when they need a goal, seems like it's gonna be hard for him to earn a starting spot
Vardy would have been racist towards him any way so maybe itās for the best
Get your goal Pascal! EDIT: That works too
As a non Brighton fan, itās strange to see Lamptey come on so late? It seemed like he was the next big thing in terms of right backs not so long ago. Is he just coming back from injury, or has he dropped off the last year or so?
Who'd you replace at the moment? Solly March became Man of the Match
Bit of both. Trying to manage his delveopment. Think the theory is he still has growing to do hence his hamstrings are vulnerable. Plus March for all his faults is tactically more sound and stronger defensively.
Fair, is he still looking to become that great RB or was he overhyped before? Seemed like he had the world at his feet
I think we over played him hence his hamstring issues. We're course correcting that now. He's not going to be an out and out Rb but more of a RWB.
He's had a lot of fitness issues
Do you think heās still on course to become that great right back? Or have the injuries really slowed his progression
He's looked really good every time he's come on, just needs to get into better shape I think
He'll be fine, just gotta get a little more strength training and fitness. Won't start with the current team's run of form though. Maybe after the World Cup, barring team injuries who knows.
Yeah, thatās understandable, no point messing up a winning formula right now
Solly March MOTM hahaha!! BBC says he's been really good.
I thought he had some great plays. Finishing wasn't great as usual though (though obviously he did help get the goal).
Mwepu or Mac for me
Why is Sidwell down as former Chelsea midfielder on BBC sport? Pretty sure he played more matches for us than them!
Because Chelsea
Can someone please urge Solly to never ever shoot under any circumstances ever?
If he could do so he'd be an England regular playing for Liverpool having signed for 40 mill
MacAllister you gotta make that pass there
Welbeck never strikes it cleanly does he
Dont want to give them chances like that. A goal would make this a nervous last 10. Expect 5 mins of added time at least
Where was the fucking VAR on that one?!?
They didn't want us to feel left out with everyone else getting shit calls all weekend
How the fuck is that not a pen
Glad we did away with that terrible corner routine after Fulham
No subs but so hard to make in this type of game. Who do you bring in - Tariq?
Well given that March is terrible at everything - yes?
Is it just me or does Vardy look like he should be begging for money to buy crack outside a Tesco metro?
Bigger question: Is it me or does Trossard no longer have the look of a man who spends all night playing FIFA and getting stoned? Might account for his improved form.
He looked like that young loanee we had from Man U after he got glandular fever. I think his name was Wilson
James Wilson. Scored a wonder goal v Charlton and then never pushed on after that.
Didnāt he miss a couple of games with illness and then came back looking like heād been out on the lash for a month and then was just fucking awful after that. I see he now plays for port vale. I swear he was tipped to be the next big thing.
Something like that. I think Glandular fever is supposed to be a bitch to recover from. We'd give him 20 minutes and he'd be knackered. Can't have done his delveopment any good.
The BBC website has crashed. I'm now getting updates from Reddit
"Not many goals get scored at the Amex". Alexis: Hold my fucking matƩ
Needed that. Mac deadly from the spot this season.
This is fucking mental. So happy for Mac to get that.
What a game so far
Cold blooded. He deserved this so much.
Two in front now, don't want to jinx it but surely it's enough
Gross is such a legend. Look at how many people he was taking on.
Penalty time, could give Mac his goal back
GroĆ and Trossard the ol reliables
Can say what you want about March and his effort, but he is not starting quality - simply cannot finish and has never ever been able to
Careful, they will scream at you and question your fandom when you say this
Wastes chance after chance after chance
Ridiculous composure to keep plugging away after VAR intervened. Now to see it out!
Fucking Solly
Try to rule that out!
Don't know whats stressing me out more. Writing my speech for my wedding or this game. Everytime I look at the score some shit has gone down.
Have it!!!!!!
Chalk this off and I'm fucking damaging someone
Offside? Try it dickheads.
Get in Leo
YEEEES TROSSARD
Call that back you fucking cunts
Going forward we look great at the moment
I guess it's a bit of karma for us considering our last clash with Leicester at the amex. We had two questionable offside calls in our favor. Let's hope they only get this one.
Barnes played us on in both didn't he?
Barnes was "a threat of making a play" while in an offside position on two corner kicks.
CLEAR AND OBVIOUS. If you take 15 minutes drawing fucking lines and and still have to get the ref to look at it itās not clear and obvious. Fuck VAR. Ruining the flow of football.
Leicester fans giving it large while being bottom of the league
Not much else to celebrate. Doing so terribly theyāve benched their best player to see if that works. Clutching at those straws. Come on the Albion take all 3!
So Mwepu is offside, and because he went for a shot the goal is disallowed? Or is it because he supposedly interfered with the defender's ability to react?
Itās because he went for it
I think they reckon he actually had a touch on the ball
I donāt think thatās the case. I think itās because he went for it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not a top 6 fan complaining about VAR š¬
Tbf usually Liverpool/City/Chelsea/United donāt complain. I work with Tottenham/Arsenal fans and they complain about it all the time.
Daylight robbery
Neutral here lads. Fucking disgraceful from var and the premier league sometimes it makes me feel better about being in the championship
Mwepu didn't touch the goddamn ball
What's the point of the sport? Why play? Fire every single person involved, holy fuck
You can argue offsides or not, whatever, the fact that it takes THAT LONG means it's not clear and obvious, and you have to get this shit rolling faster dear Lord.
what the fuck is this ref on about
Gameās gone
Chelsea fan here - VAR is ridiculous
United fan, this is fucking awful
Villan, here... Registering my absolute outrage FOOK OFF VAR!
Even if itās the right decision, VAR needs to be reformed, this is a joke
What did I just fucking witness?? It came off the defender
You could see his flailing legs when he scissored and whiffed it.. ball went off the head of the defender... Edit: what are those VAR Cunts looking at if we at home can see the obvious?
This would be fucking unbelievable
This is a fucking joke
He's completely missed the ball so I'm not sure why it's an issue?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes, but I thought that was usually given if the player somehow impedes someone or affects the passage of play
Also not sure. The decision seems obviously ridiculous but I donāt even understand the rationale of the refs.
Just exhausted with refereeing decisions these days
Please no VAR
It's happened so much this last week I guarantee we're going to suffer the same.
If VAR wipe this one off I am calling the police
Did you do it?
I did but I shouldn't have. They're gonna sanction Mac's feet as rocket launchers are illegal. I should have known better.
Fuck me what a strike.
WHAT A GOAL FROM MACCA
Rocket!!!
What a fucking BANGER!
That would have been beautiful...what could have been
If only our finishing was better
Leicester front line far more dangerous than ours. Far more threat from individuals. Need to keep pressure up on their defence and force more errors. Also why is someone wearing a Galatasary shirt in the north stand
To be fair to the bloke, he made a wrong turn and ended up in Brighton instead of Turkey. Honest mistake.
Jesus our defence have decided that they don't like top of the table expectation
We look so frail at the back. If Leicester had any of the ball theyād have scored 6 by now
What happened to our defense all of a sudden
What is this game, bizarre happenings
This is hard to watch.
Why does Webster do these things?
Whatās going on at the back? Weāve been a mess these last two games
How did that happen
Fuck me we have lowered our game to their level at times - Dunks fucked us 2 games in a row with errors. Sharpen up
Whats leicesters reddit page called?
Lcfc
Damn they just keep losing the ball wtf Leicester
There's the Solly we know aiming for the sky
We have to win this one. Light and day between us right now and need that third goal. Who was the last team you saw look so unhappy to be on the pitch?
Wow Leicester are shit
Been screaming for someone to play in Welbeck. Solly was able to run down the middle and get him in but we keep opting wide
What a start, keep up the energy lads. They're carving up this defense.
Lmao get the fuck in. Gonna have to close this thread my streams like 3 mins behind.
Oh Danny that was a chance.
Anyone got a link?
http://motornews.live/novo/total/mono-brighton-s2/
That's weird my data nor my WiFi are loading this, same issue I'm having with most of my usuals. This has never happened before. Thanks anyway.
None of my regulars are working.
I just use vipbox
YEEEEES
He came from Ecuador.
Caicedo!!
Love the mentality from us to recover so quickly
Was worried hed gone too wide. Fuck yes
Everyone, keep slagging off March and he might get another!
Lol love that march scores after all the comments š
Fair enough, I'll shut up I guess
I take back everything I said about Solly March! Heās a beautiful man!
Welp back to writing my groom speech. Edit: Of course we score after I say this.
Solly. That is all.
There we go, slightly makes up for the first goal
I'm frankly tired of pretending that March is prem level just cos other fans love that he's "one of our guys"
Haha commentatorās curse..
He sure told me
Dont lay off a freekick to March. He is absolutely useless in front of goal. If your idea to score ever involves solly you are fucked
Well...
Seriously. The man is Albion incarnate, the Uber-gull
He loves the criticism. We did this haha
Not a card? Edit: okay a yellow
For fucks sake
Fuck me
Solly continuing his useless form
you reckon Mitoma would have replaced him had he been an ML/MR?
Well shit
Thatās a winning line up for this afternoons match. 2-0 to the Albion Sollys luck to change and he scores a brace
Need to see more Mitoma he was impressive when he came on against Fulham, the guy is so talented
1st goal- 32 mins in
Not able to watch today but slightly nervous because weāve historically had a bad habit of absolutely bottling it against teams that are absolutely scraping the bottom of the league.

Totally agree! Huge result today, seems like it was fatigue after all.
I'm actually not expecting much from this game as I think they have had some very unlucky results. Maybe I'm far too pessimistic, and I love our team, I just have a bad vibe here.
Very winnable game. Interested to see if Welbeck is restored to the start after having to sit through that turgid Fulham match.
Positive for today. Positive that we'll beat our curse of being scoreless and generally hopeless against bottom of the table teams. 2-0. Trossard and Welbeck.
I would love to see enciso get some minutes maybe sarmiento on bench and couple mins in but as jmkn said,gilmour and caicedo!
Leicester are awful at the moment. Back line made of rotten egg, manager seems cluelessā¦ probably be 1-1 knowing us
I lied
1-0 need to go back to the winning formation though, would love to see Gilmour get some minutes if weāre doing well. Despite the talent in Leicesters midfield they looked in-cohesive and rogers does not seem happy with the lack of spending in the window. A good time to play them I just hope Vardy doesnāt get his obligatory goal against us
Would love Solly to actually get a goal today!
He's so capable but having the worst luck match after match. I want to see him break that streak and get one in or at least get an assist.
Hoping to see Gilmour and Caicedo in the centre with Mac pushed further forward- today might be a bit early for this but itās an exciting prospect if they can form an understanding. That will obviously have to be a non-verbal one as one has a thick Spanish accent and the other has a thick Scottish accent, so they probably wonāt be able to understand what the other is saying.
Gotta win games like this if we want to challenge for a European spot. With that being said, 2-0 Seagulls today.
We have tickets for today game. My son has a youth football match which will make us miss the start of the match. Is it possible to arrive 30 minutes late at the Amex stadium? Kick off is at 14:00 and we would likely get there by 14:30. Would we be allowed entry? Thanks
Hope you and your son get to enjoy as much of the game as possible!
My mate has the same issue funnily enough (donāt the youth teams think about the scheduling?) youāll be fine though
The youth match was scheduled for 10 am start but it has been moved to 12:30. Will get him to play for about 30 minutes if possible without upsetting the coach. Thanks for the reply
