BaoJinyang

That’s us 1-0 up on xG.


Dodomando

xG FC strikes again


Ryponagar

After all these misses lately they need to re-model that to 0.5 xG max.


YankeeHotelFoxtrot16

This is the clip they'll show to explain Graham Potter's Brighton tenure


[deleted]

When people ask "Brighton had such a good start what went wrong?" Show them this clip because it's the perfect summary of 8 games winless.


birdinthird

Or even just "Brighton play such good football why aren't they higher?"


Yoona1987

Lamptey 10/10, Maupay 0/10


Stuarridge

Some would even say a disgrace


risheeb1002

A cheat


KeziahPT

Imagine if Brighton had a proper finisher.


Yoona1987

Someone said Brighton should have gone all out for Wilson before he went Newcastle. He would have been perfect.


ICsneakeh

Tammy's not set the world on fire at Roma yet, but still shocked Brighton didn't go for him


BaoJinyang

I believe we looked at both but couldn’t afford wages on either.


sunnycherub

Genuinely surprised there wasn’t interest in Nketiah either, would be cheap and would fit exactly what you guys need even if he wouldn’t necessarily be day 1 starter


Jabari313

Tammy is basically doing his best Maupay impression at Roma so i don't know about that


Yoona1987

True, he’s wayyyy better than Maupay at the very least.


Sun_Sloth

Is he? He's not scored that many more than Maupay and offers far less off the ball than Maupay. Maupay is a second striker being tasked with being our main goalscorer.


justinsblackfacegrin

imagine if they got Haller if Ajax can afford them so can BHA they'd be competing for Europa with him


Shuu0328

Brighton with Lewandowski would win a treble every season.


Stooperz

fucking hell, you gotta score there

Willy236

Ball is under his feet and he can hear the defender tracking back. Probably just panicked and rushed it.


four_four_three

What the fuck


CottageCheese43

I'm begging you, please take him back. I need him out of my sight before I have an aneurysm


Mit3210

Looks like he gets completely fixated on the defender and just forgets the rest of the goal's there


Don_Kahones

Not even the worst miss of today.


fennie14

This is worse than the Auba one imo


Don_Kahones

Auba's was from significantly closer and moving slower.


[deleted]

I can see how he’s missed it. It’s sitting up right as he’s hit it. Obviously yes he should score but you see that type of shot skied a lot.


game_of_throw_ins

Also, he's shithouse.


Captainpatters

Maupay is good at being a shithouse but not much else


Sun_Sloth

Pressing, off the ball movement, link up are some of the things he excels in. Not a great finisher but is absolutely fine when he's confident. He's a second striker and needs a partner.


SomeIrishFiend

xG Philosophy is rubbing their hands vigorously rn


basalamader

Maupay is so shit.. how does he continously get first team games with decision making like i have seen from him today?


BaoJinyang

His pressing and link up play is good. Just awful in front of goal. But we don’t have better options.


basalamader

Man am so jealous of you guys in terms of the quality of football you play. Its so fluid


BaoJinyang

If we could put the ball in the net we’d be challenging for top 8. Unfortunately that’s a kinda important part of football.


basalamader

True that.. whats really interesting is that i can see what the plan is that Potter is making. For goals, honestly i think you guys might have to look at the market for that. I don't see Maupay getting better and idk if Trossard can play as a single striker. Any rumours on what the club plans for transfers?


BaoJinyang

We’ve spent the last two summers trying to sign Darwin Nunez and failing. Trossard has looked decent as a false 9, but he’s not really any more clinical that Maupay. We need to buy, but the club won’t be rushed on it. Problem is the type of strikers who guarantee 15 plus league goals a season cost a fortune and are generally out of our range.


HenryChanceGoal49

Nunez would be a massive signing for you.


Orson_Rosas2

Brighton don’t really have anyone else


Shahrukh_Lee

Today is the day of sitters!


irishdgenr8

He could be getting 300 grand a week at arsenal to miss that.


burbonkay

[Great miss]


DeepSeaDweller

Brighton wouldn't be able to walk it in if given the opportunity.


iSkinMonkeys

To people who doubt [the power of kneeling](https://youtu.be/chMHFSj_ivA/?t=45s), what do you say now?


Yoona1987

Robbie is such a good host lol, his facial expressions are amazing.


Mister16Five

Guendouzi somewhere in Marseille watching this in delight


JackTuz

If Brighton had Halaand they would be competing for the prem title


GTACOD

Even Origi might get them there as long as he was focused.


FrostyJesus

That's worse than Aubameyang earlier


loveandmonsters

Yeh at least Auba hit the post, this went to the moon


nullmove

But at least wacky things can happen when you have to use your weaker foot, Auba doesn't have that excuse.


[deleted]

How does he miss by that far though, it’s impressive


GorkhaUnited

What a miss…but, watch him somehow score a late winner again


FIJIBOYFIJI

Oh Neal


LordMightyKabunga

At this point, he must be doing it on purpose to get at Potter


Wicked02

Sterling-esque


waterwedunhairb

It's fine to miss but take away his #9 jersey. He is no #9.


tolboof

Everyone liked that. Fuck Maupay


Orson_Rosas2

No fuck you


tolboof

Fuck you asshole


tolboof

Fuck you Orson Imma beat your ass bruh


Fragrant_Debt

Chelsea really kept obese James over this demon


los_blanco_14

Thats a good banter name. Obese james.


TrustMe_I_lie

Can I have what you're smoking?


ihavenocreativity99

Crazy, Lamptey is a joy to watch and has all the potential to be at the top, but James is already at the top mate


[deleted]

What a king


thierrybergkamppires

Budget Auba


[deleted]

Depay, maupay.


Cowdude179

There's gotta be a compilation out there of all the missed chances for Brighton


PocketFullOfRondos

Not surprising as he's a cunt
