Introduction and Recent Performances
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Brighton Podcast. It's your a boy Jamie G. joined by the man himself, Joe Richardson. Joe, how are we doing today?
00:00:20
Joe
Yeah, not too bad. It's not doing very good for the seagulls, but you know i'm all I'm all good. so you know you can ever There's only so much you can do, I suppose.
00:00:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, it's a rough patch for the
Analysis of Brighton vs Fulham
00:00:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Albion. you know it's we We're we reviewing two games today, a loss to Fulham and then the weekends game that we've just watched today where we drew to Leicester, kind of bottled it at the end there.
00:00:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
But we'll we'll begin with the game ah against Fulham. What did you make of it? A 3-1 loss at theirs, which I guess we could have probably we should have probably seen coming where we aren't very good.
00:00:56
Joe
so
00:00:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
if We all very good there, always.
00:01:00
Joe
a la and Yeah, it was a little bit of a tough one good because we had quite a few chances. Jar Pedro had a couple of chances. um Obviously, the the goal was a very nice goal, belabor with that fading left foot striking to the corner.
00:01:21
Joe
um thought we didn't take our chances we kept in it for ages we kept in it for ages but i mean it was just a bit it was a very immature performance i think it yeah There was mistakes in there and avoidable goals and why we do spin the circles in the box and they can't get into a bottom corner, I'll never know.
00:01:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
it
00:01:47
Joe
They also had their fair share of chances as well. It wasn't a great showing.
00:01:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah we did dominate the chances and the shots i guess is the way the way you put it we had 1.5 and expected goals to their 0.65 13 shots to their six um and yeah you mentioned all those chances that we didn't have it was a
00:02:12
Joe
you
00:02:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I did know that, yeah, like you said, the Pedro Chancer, Van Hecke's curling ball in behind. And that's something where I loved watching Van Hecke and how good he is at playing out from the back.
00:02:20
Joe
Yeah.
00:02:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's been a big development, in ah like ah or a big shock I've seen this season, is how good Van Hecke has actually been on the ball.
00:02:27
Joe
Yeah.
00:02:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, you just hope that if you can take some of those chances, like that with Jau Pedro one, then that's a different game, really.
00:02:40
Joe
yeah 100% but we spoke when we played Liverpool we spoke about ah sort of like how if you don't take your chances and put the game to bed then obviously um like that you'll sort of rule those missed chances and it will come back and bite you but that sort of goes for almost everyone in the Premier League i feel like it's it's a sort of like unwritten rule whereas like yeah you need to i mean it's obvious you need to take your chances but like I feel like against Liverpool you sort of think oh well they can sort of create something out of nothing, but they are like feeling hung in there for the whole time. and I know that they they were never traded in the game, but when we were having those chances of pepper and a gold a little bit, they hung in there, they were resilient and then
00:03:27
Joe
they took their chances and they scored three goals and had what did you say about 0.6 actually?
Team Changes and Tactical Adjustments
00:03:34
Joe
well the and mean On paper it sounds like it was a bit lucky but I feel ah felt like they were well deserving of the win personally like if you're just going to be real. um Also, we we also caught them at like a time where they do have like a few injuries, they're missing a couple of players but at the same time it's in that period where you are going to be rotating because there's so many games so obviously he switched it up completely I think well playing free at the back or and then having JP and right back sort of in possession etc and all that stuff is like even having like wiffer coming in and then it was
00:04:17
Joe
like Wiffen there, the Labour, Edinburgh in there as well. And like, it is a lot of change, but you do need to be, after we get that equalising goal, we need to be sort of putting our foot on the gas a little bit. But I felt like when we got the equaliser, it sort of put a pep in full of step and then they sort of tried to come out fighting and obviously they got the two goals and then it was sort of done then, but it It wasn't wasn a terrible performance but it was definitely we didn't deserve to win the game I don't think.
00:04:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think the, also when you have big chances that you miss, you also can't have errors the other side of the picture. And I feel like we gave them a lot of their goals in terms of, especially that first one, the Bruggen, what he's doing playing out from the back is an absolute sham. Like that was a horrendous pass and I not know it down while I was watching. Like it seemed like just the wrong pass to play as well.
00:05:17
Joe
Mm-hmm.
00:05:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
a Belieber didn't, if you even if Belieber did touch it or get get to it first, he's in no position to play it to anyone, he's running full speed to just try and get the ball and then he's also running a across goal, he's surrounded by two players, it seemed like just the worst error and that's where overplaying does cost you and I feel like this is i
00:05:24
Joe
Yeah.
00:05:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
when When there is this emphasis with every team now that plays out from the back and to build up from the back, it will bite you eventually or at least once in the season. If you're Southampton, it will bite you a hundred times in the season. But yeah for us, I feel like that's the first real time it's actually affected us or led Costa as a goal. And yeah, it was going to happen
Brighton's Risky Strategies
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
eventually. And hopefully that is the the last time it costs us
00:06:14
Joe
yeah i made so shades if it gets che you didn't we
00:06:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ah, yeah.
00:06:18
Joe
um and then But that seemed to have sort of been ironed out a little bit but again, it's so funny that you brought up Southampton because
00:06:28
Joe
we casts ourselves huntter in terms of like in the in the building that We cast of being like, well, you have your philosophy, but you need to know when to sort of like make those decisions on the fly, where it's like, well, you're going to clear it, then you need to clear your lines. That is exactly what Vivega should have done. He needs to be hoofed in that literally into the Hammersmith Hospital, mate.
00:06:50
Joe
ah where we are It is to be hoofing that anywhere in the Putney Bridge, anywhere, mate, anywhere around them, mate, get rid of that. Because, like, what is the, I mean, the worst thing that's going to happen is, the worst thing that could possibly happen if you play it out happened.
00:07:05
Joe
And it's not even like he's passed it to someone and then they've been dispossessed. He's basically passed it directly to Robey.
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
exactly
00:07:12
Joe
So it's like, I mean, that is the worst case. If you clear the ball, what's the worst thing that's going to happen? You're going to clear the ball. Unless it's a terrible clearance that still goes so wavy, even if you blast it out of wavy, you're probably not going to touch it down and finish it.
00:07:26
Joe
Do you know what I mean? So if you clear your lines and you get rid of the ball, at least your defense can reset themselves. And if the ball comes back, the ball comes back, you just defend that.
00:07:37
Joe
but you have a lot better chance to defend that when the ball comes back than you do if you give it to Robey in the box. Also, bear in the mouth, I'm not even in between the posts. He's actually scrambling to get back anyway.
00:07:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:51
Joe
And because you never expect that to happen, sort of at that level, I know anything can happen, but you never really expect it to happen at that level, especially with the team at Arsenal, we've sort of been good at passing out from the back.
00:08:02
Joe
Like, everyone was like, what's going on?
00:08:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:05
Joe
go and then
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hey.
00:08:06
Joe
ah school to is to say yeah you need to make the right decisions or you didn't make the right decision there but it happens
00:08:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he has been, I want to say he has been classed with his feet and classed playing out from the back like all season. It was that, that was like just obviously a massive error and a rare error, I guess is one way you could put it.
00:08:23
Joe
you
00:08:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And you mentioned the time you got to find the right time to play out from the back. And obviously that wasn't the right time because Eagle gave him a hospital oh hospital pass back to him.
00:08:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's why he was out of his post.
00:08:38
Joe
Yeah.
00:08:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
He had to scramble to get the ball. Then is the last time when you're not set you have people hounding you down and no one's free That's the last point you should be playing out for the back.
00:08:51
Joe
Yeah.
00:08:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's where And then
00:08:53
Joe
Yeah.
00:08:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, then we did get the equalizer. or You did touch on that a bit earlier. ah Beautiful bit of play from Zhao Pedro. it was kind directors I like it we were way more direct then, so like Van Hecke just kind of hoofing it long, but it wasn't really a hoof, it was like a lofted ball lofted long ball forward to the magic man himself, Pedro.
00:09:15
Joe
you
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then Boliba, what a strike.
00:09:19
Joe
my dad The little touch that Japedra does to sort of like, because I was pretty sure he jumps in the air and he sort of touches it with the outside of his foot.
00:09:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yay.
00:09:30
Joe
And like that to go straight into the path of Belieber. Belieber literally, that part, that little like touch into Belieber, into the space in front of him basically makes Belieber's mind up for all.
00:09:42
Joe
It sits so nicely for him, it's right in front of him, it's going onto his left foot, but it also is one of the hardest sort of techniques when you're striking a ball, is to have to, when you're cutting across the ball.
00:09:54
Joe
Like, um if you like sort of look back over the years, like, what Frank Lampard was really, really good at it. Like, oh, the big three, let's say, of the Englishman footballers, they were all really good at it.
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
and Yeah.
00:10:05
Joe
and But it is a very hard sort of technique, because if you hit it in the wrong place, it's dragons done, mate. It's going to the quarter flag or whatever. But like, when you get it right and it's just faded into that bottom corner, it's just so nice to watch.
00:10:18
Joe
And like, the lake belated does like that. Also, side note, I did not know a man of believer's stature could just do a backflip.
00:10:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
music
00:10:25
Joe
I did not know that, mate.
00:10:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:10:27
Joe
That's insane. I've actually looked away for two seconds. I've looked back, he's still doing flips in the air.
00:10:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Freshback
00:10:32
Joe
It's unbelievable. I digress, but is
00:10:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
banana.
00:10:35
Joe
Yeah, it was a beefy version of Nanny doing a little some flips in there. it was it was tough He does actually have that in the locker, to be fair to him. But I feel like we left these two.
00:10:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:47
Joe
ah the People that I left, apart from you, people that I left, they didn't have this nice shot.
00:10:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:10:52
Joe
They were all shocking over there.
Missed Opportunities and Defensive Errors
00:10:54
Joe
But it was a really, really good goal, and it was ah it was a touch of class, and we needed that to get us back in the game, I think.
00:10:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:11:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, ah his he never fails to amaze me in terms of he shoots with power and he can also have that like precision shot, which is what he showed him.
00:11:05
Joe
in the
00:11:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was pretty mad. There was a chance a bit later on in the game as well where Van Hecke, I feel should have scored from a corner. maybe being a bit too harsh there. We'll leave that up to the listeners to tell us what they think.
00:11:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he was unmarked in the box and should have just kind of nestled it into the net. And that ultimately, we miss a corner. They score from a corner.
00:11:34
Joe
a
00:11:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
The question is though, was it a foul on Lewis Dunk? Because it was 100% a foul, in my opinion.
00:11:43
Joe
The question is, was it a file or news to hank? And then you've got to say, it is 100% a file or news to hank.
00:11:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
is funny yeah
00:11:51
Joe
So what i'm goingnna do what all I'm going to do is I'm going to just back to you and say that it was a file as well.
00:11:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
beyond through yeah
00:11:58
Joe
Yeah.
00:11:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah He was fuming off the game as well.
00:11:59
Joe
ah
00:12:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
he I mean, the ball gets pushed in, the ball gets pressed in, um and then he gets kind of pushed into, well,
00:12:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
the ball gets crossed in and a do is jumping up in the air. I can't remember who it was, but just pushes him in the back and it's like, well, that's not allowed. He was about to win the header, goes from winning the header to then missing the header. And then it's no chance, whoever. And then unlucky for Matt O'Reilly, who's then had the own goal against him, but that's, yeah.
00:12:37
Joe
yeah i mean the food bowl We can obviously do a whole podcast about sort of the officiating in this country. The one thing that I feel like has always been a bit sort of like blurry lines, has always been like sort of the rough and tumble in the box when it comes to like set pieces and stuff like that. Before we went on air, we obviously were speaking about, we were speaking about Arsenal and we were speaking about like the blocking off and for all this stuff.
00:13:11
Joe
when does it become a When does it become a foul? if it There's no issue if it's if it's like in the rule book that you're allowed to do that and obviously just fair enough. But I'm pretty sure I did hear at the start of the season that the whole been blocking off thing was not allowed.
00:13:26
Joe
If you can remember back to the Carabao Cup Final,
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:32
Joe
They lived from Chelsea when Van Dijk scored a header, but it was ruled out because Endo obviously blocked off Levi Colwith, I think it was.
00:13:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:40
Joe
no But when it comes to pushing, does it have to be so blatant that you're like two-hand pushing them in the back? Do you have to fool them over and be like, ah, where have I flown?
00:13:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:13:49
Joe
What's going on? All that stuff. and To be fair, Matt O'Reilly, his body position probably isn't the best if you want to be critical.
00:13:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mmm.
00:14:01
Joe
But I don't know why he's shaking ass in the box and he's hitting off his ass cheek and going in go into the back of my neck.
00:14:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
it
00:14:08
Joe
But yeah, it is a very bloodline in terms of what's...
00:14:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:14:12
Joe
Because you can vessel people in the box.
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:16
Joe
Ask him to let me know.
00:14:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
twelve
00:14:17
Joe
Donald Trump is literally doing a security work at that purpose with some of you.
00:14:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
it
00:14:22
Joe
He literally put his arm on him and some of you I don't really know what it is. It's just like they sort of go, yeah, this time, next time maybe not, but this time, yeah, why not?
00:14:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:14:39
Joe
I hate see this set piece of pieces, set of piece goals. It's so annoying.
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Especially with a team of our height, it's pretty odd that we did concede like Dunk, Van Hecker, ah
00:14:46
Joe
Yeah.
00:14:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
a couple of other giants in our squad. I mean, even Ruta, Petra, Aunts, Slouches, Ferguson, et cetera.
00:14:53
Joe
Hmm.
00:14:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, it's ah it's a tough one. And then they obviously went on and grabbed the third late in the game.
00:14:59
Joe
okay
00:15:03
Joe
and
00:15:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
It would be like you said earlier, doing circles in a box and no one within five meters of him, what the hell was happening there? God knows.
00:15:13
Joe
Yeah, it's a tough one because Alex Ruby has also been on great form this season, but I i think Alex Ruby is up this crazy footballer. I think he's one of the better like one the best personalities in in football currently, and so especially in the Premier League.
00:15:31
Joe
um but in terms of like do you know that he's on such good form so like how are you letting him receive the ball with his back to goal basically allowing him the time to turn and allowing him to get the shot off is insane that's the last line
00:15:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Also Ferguson, the one trying to defend him. What the hell, what's what' he doing back there? Get get someone out, get out and defend it, yeah. Get out and defend it to try and tackle him.
00:15:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're not Ferguson of all people.
00:15:57
Joe
well
00:15:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then yeah, he goes about five feet off him and then just giving him the time just to spot it in that bottom corner. And that's what ultimately leads you to a goal. It's missed chances and errors in the box.
00:16:10
Joe
Yeah.
00:16:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then obviously blatant cheating by Fulham. There we go. that but and That's the wrap and our review of the Fulham game. After this short ad, we'll be taking you through the Leicester game that we drew today.
Review of Brighton vs Leicester
00:16:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back with the Daily Brighton podcast. We are now, unfortunately, it's been a bad week for us, Joe.
00:16:59
Joe
ah
00:16:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
We lost for the midweek and then we've bottled yet another game against a and relegation threat inside today against Leicester. Just give me your takes on the game, I guess.
00:17:13
Joe
ah it's just done Just for clarity for the viewers, we'd like to be clear. When we played Wolves, one of It's our close friends okay, it's was leaving the area that we live in and we were all out okay. together, enjoying our time. We were obviously winning, we were all happy, getting the notification from the fan, we were all happy.
00:17:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
right.
00:17:37
Joe
and then I remember walking to a different place and I shouted to you, I've got no clue from what I find that they've equalised and I shouted to you that we couldn't believe it. I didn't watch the game because I literally couldn't find Shreem anywhere.
00:17:53
Joe
and but we got some my far and i'm so sorry and we were tuning out and Minthe scored which is so big for this podcast because we gassed him up so much and it was actually a really really good goal as well and I'm really happy for him but I have just seen Jamie Vardy and then I was like okay they brought one back it's quite late on
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:18:15
Joe
And then I see Bobby Readway. What is going on, man?
00:18:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
and a
00:18:19
Joe
And then I've seen in the girl drink. Bobby's got a sis, mate. He's moving that cellar.
00:18:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
me
00:18:24
Joe
What's going on?
00:18:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:18:27
Joe
And our message to Jimmy, and I said to him, I said, we can't be that sort of like naive and first sort of being like, how are we turning up away from home and not shutting up shop? And then this is what I'm going to pass it back to you, because you told me that we sort of did shut up shop.
00:18:41
Joe
So I'm going to hand it over to you now to sort of be like, What went wrong? but
00:18:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, I think it was the equalizer I felt was very much coming like they were very defensive which was a bit of a shock of like they were trying to see out the win but the chances just kind of kept on coming for like once they scored their first they they pushed on and then it looked like we were i literally wrote in my notes like 30 seconds before they scored i wrote looking a bit ropey at the back here
00:19:04
Joe
i
00:19:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah okay Rope at the back here. Their goal will be inevitable. And there it was. As soon as I finished writing that, they ah pounced up with a goal. I was like, yeah, we just invited way too much pressure on. And it was like very, I mean,
00:19:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
very shaky defending put it that way.
00:19:37
Joe
Yeah.
00:19:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think their first goal was very lucky, I will say that. There was a shot by Bobby Reed, got deflected by Wiffer who blocked the shot.
00:19:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
That blocked shot literally landed straight at the feet of Jamie Vardy and it was like, well,
00:19:53
Joe
ah hundred
00:19:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
you could not write it. It couldn't have gone better. It couldn't have been a better pass. Obviously, it didn't mean a pass, meant to shoot it a goal. But yeah, you're probably better off just having him shoot there.
00:20:06
Joe
the
00:20:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then yeah,
00:20:08
Joe
Honestly mate, when we got a crossover, and as you said, I'm still worried about Jamie Varney, because When he was, when he broke the record for like a second, gun games with goals, and when they won the league, he wasn't young, like generally why he wasn't young, I'm certain he was still like, what, 27, 28 when he was doing this.
00:20:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
um not yeah
00:20:30
Joe
Like, that, to me, in the at the top level, signifies someone who, okay, yeah, he's very fast, yes, he likes running behind, yes, he's a terrorizer in a channel, who's all this stuff.
00:20:42
Joe
but that that's sort of like where we've all to sort of be like okay latching onto these like deflections and that he took the goal so well on his weaker foot the first time i'm pretty sure and it's just going to guide it into the bottom corner and again i said that the worried is that he's going to sort of be running behind i didn't think it was going to be running in behind the defense while all of our players were in the box
00:20:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm not yet.
00:21:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:09
Joe
So like, I don't know, it's just one of those things and then even the second goal, which obviously you'll come onto now, but like, to have the sort of red line to be like, I'm in this position now, let me square it because the angle's probably not really favorable for me and my Bobby reads there, so let me just square it and then this is obviously a free goal.
00:21:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:21:33
Joe
And it is a ah credit to him. I will give him credit that like you don't really lose that sort of movement and that sort of like killer instinct that he had when he was in the Premier League before. But again, it is just so naive. like you need to You need to be hunkering down differently when, but especially if you consider the Southampton game, you consider the game it gets full on, and then this was supposed to be our little easy one.
00:21:59
Joe
And we're making an absolute meal out of it, mate.
00:21:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
i Yeah.
00:22:02
Joe
This is an absolute far, oh it's not far, that's very dramatic. but the head <unk> very It's quite a badass thing to be fair, because we come on this podcast every every day, we come on this podcast and we basically cuss out the other team.
00:22:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
take Yeah.
00:22:16
Joe
And then it's always those players that come back and, I mean, I've even cussed out to Rick Lamptey, and I've seen him calling the border to call it R and Robin, mate.
00:22:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
you
00:22:26
Joe
What's that about? Honestly, it's ridiculous.
00:22:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you you mentioned naivety and the it was just pure naivety as to why we conceded that second as well.
00:22:29
Joe
Yeah.
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
What is Eagle doing with the ball? Like he's drifting infield.
00:22:43
Joe
of
00:22:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I wrote as well that what he drifts in infield and he looks lost he looks like he has no idea what he's going to do with the ball he should release it out wide should either just clear it but no he decides you know what i'll do i'll do a really lazy pathetic back pass Straight to them, which is but a brilliant.
00:22:52
Joe
yeah
00:23:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Exactly what you wanted. Cheers, Eagle. Not even to Van Hecke or Lewis Dunk. And then that's how they capitalise. I mean, straight to them, then they're through. The body's in that peeled off kind of space.
00:23:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
He squares it. There you go. But and so it's also a game where, once again, like the full-on one, we missed our chances. And I think we'll yeah um get on to the chances that we did miss after this short break.
00:24:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back with the Daily Brighton podcast. We spoke about the chances that they had and how we kind of bottled the win before the before the ad break. Now let's talk about some chances that we did have. ah we We were on top. I mean, there was the Metoma shot. How's he not finished that, Jo?
00:24:26
Joe
And we're talking about the, um, where Ben Fenton, which is, has the whole goal gaping effect.
00:24:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:24:31
Joe
I know there was a defender in front of him, but it's such a, it is such a weird decision for a striker to be bearing down on goal. And like it speaks a little bit to the lack of confidence, I feel like at the moment, because surely you're fighting yourself to just bang that into the corner, like just wrap it around into the corner.
00:24:51
Joe
well And it was, I think, weird to run the ball back. And I ran half right, played it in Star Pedro. Then, Star Pedro is like, obviously, you know, put it across for Ferguson. And then he says later, off to Matomo. I don't reckon Matomo had cleared it. This isn't going to happen.
00:25:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, well, actually I thought this is where we actually disagree. I thought he did, he made the right decision by playing it to Matoma because you, like you said, there was someone in front of him.
00:25:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't reckon the shop he had was actually going to go in. So he lays it off to Matoma who's standing in a great position and someone of Matoma's quality, you're definitely expecting to finish that.
00:25:28
Joe
you
00:25:31
Joe
Mmm.
00:25:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he just doesn't, he fumbles a bag, skies it.
00:25:32
Joe
Mmm.
00:25:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like I don't,
00:25:36
Joe
Fumbles to back.
00:25:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know why he's why he's gone for height on the shot. I think low and placed into the bottom right, bottom left corner, bottom right corner, and whatever wherever way you want to look at it. um That's the the way you should have gone in, but no, instead he goes for a chip shot or like just a powerful shot. I don't really know what he was going for, but over the sails, over the bar, and that's where it kind of costs you.
00:26:03
Joe
my My issue is that the only reason I say I feel like he should have shot is one, because he's a striker, and two, because if you think about it from like a striker perspective, and he's so basically, your whole thing is decision-making in my eyes, is if
00:26:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:23
Joe
I know he has a player right in front of him. He's so close to the goal and he has so much of a goal to aim at. But he's what he's done when he's laid the ball off to Matoma, Matoma's at a slightly different angle.
00:26:35
Joe
It's actually a harder angle to score. It also takes away um that options of where you're going to finish.
00:26:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:26:41
Joe
Um, so like here's my time has only been option is to put it in the bottom right at the bottom of the top right corner but I feel like He's at the angle where like he can't really do much else really but again Even if and even if it hits it first time of the ball played into him like that gives you more option Also, that's sort of my thinking behind it.
00:27:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:27:06
Joe
Obviously if that's me ah put in that know anyway that's going in a box somewhere i ride a top mayor i that what's going on I'm um but yeah you do have to take it you guys see your chances and when I watch the highlights back um They had a chance, ah the brother made a really good save, and they did say that in the first half he basically had nothing to do.
00:27:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
Player Highlights: Lamptey and Minthe
00:27:31
Joe
um So, yeah, thats that that makes it, when you know the result and you hear that in the in the reading that the highlights, you it automatically vex me.
00:27:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Exactly. exactly
00:27:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. ah e
00:27:41
Joe
Because I was like, what if I was called twice after this?
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
they sco the like They really did create nothing like until the last 10 minutes. like That's where they had all the wall and all their chances kind of came in. ah um We did, obviously, score.
00:27:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was your guy, ah Tariq Lamptey, that put it top in.
00:28:01
Joe
Yeah, brilliant.
00:28:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mate, you've got to put some respect on this guy's name. He's come in for Veltman.
00:28:07
Joe
Do you customize?
00:28:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's actually got a bit of a job.
00:28:08
Joe
What are you talking about? Do you customize just as much? And you said all you could do is run. I'm not having this, mate.
00:28:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah No, no, you hate it more than me.
00:28:16
Joe
This is outrageous.
00:28:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm on the Tariq Lamptey hype train now, so you know what?
00:28:22
Joe
ah you she a sellout man that's what you are a sellout cause you were custom about this is what is me
00:28:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
you a I knew he had this in his locker.
00:28:29
Joe
a goodie decorat
00:28:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
I knew he had the top bins Iron Robin type finish in his locker.
00:28:31
Joe
we
00:28:35
Joe
sir
00:28:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's why.
00:28:35
Joe
no you did may read lunch you doesn't even know he has that in the lock
00:28:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was probably shocked in my life when he scored his first Premier League goal in four years for Tariq Lamptey.
00:28:43
Joe
so
00:28:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
What a man.
00:28:47
Joe
Oh my god, yeah
00:28:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
What a time to do it as well. But yeah, it was actually ah he was good all game as well. Not just the goal, but I felt like And he's been good for the last couple of games, I felt, filling in for Veltman.
00:28:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He offers something completely different to Veltman. He's way more attacking, which is very good in some certain aspects. He drifts infield.
00:29:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
He can offer the overlap. He's good in terms of his speed is obviously a threat. So yeah, I think he's, yeah, today was another good performance by him.
00:29:19
Joe
Yeah.
00:29:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:29:20
Joe
We're thinking about maybe a potential position change.
00:29:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
What for Tariq Lampton?
00:29:26
Joe
yeah e is up of ah my I seem to always miss the games. I think I've only missed two this season. He started and wrote about both times, I think. and I have watched him start. i think he's Did he start against Southampton? Because I watched that game.
00:29:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:29:42
Joe
And the general consensus from what I've seen from social media is that defensive, like going forward is all good and it's all rosy, sunshine and rainbows, but going backwards it's like that meme where the guy's in war and it's just like the war going on behind him and he's like shell shot.
00:29:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:29:58
Joe
um was he Was he decent defensively this game?
00:29:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:30:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
He wasn't too bad, actually. I don't think he was ever a liability defensively. like He had a couple of interceptions. ah Who's their left winger? ah It was.
00:30:13
Joe
Well, Lester's. It's about a bit of a mock attack, isn't it?
00:30:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, are you?
00:30:16
Joe
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are you on the left today? And he was woeful. He didn't really have many chances, didn't really do anything.
00:30:24
Joe
Um...
00:30:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
so
00:30:24
Joe
He's on a 30-time, man.
00:30:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:30:26
Joe
You don't have to allow him, are you, man?
00:30:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
she Yeah, he probably had a pretty easy game considering he looked across and went, oh, all right, I've got the speed on this guy easily.
00:30:33
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I thought he was pretty solid defensively. ah do We also, we got to mention our other goal as well. It did, I'm trying to think of it.
00:30:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh yeah, Minter, that was it. and
00:30:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, our point. i was It's exactly what we wanted to see from the bigot at the beginning of the season and finally he's produced.
00:31:01
Joe
u yes u s cs yes, yes, Mm-hmm. Yes. It was, um... yeah See, this it that guy sort of sums him up really well.
00:31:12
Joe
So, like, his best qualities is at how direct he is. And... but But then you also look at, like, his decision-makers are that great, and he's very, like, rash and raw and quite erratic.
00:31:24
Joe
And, like, the guy actually sort of shows you both of those sides of his game. So it's like, he takes the player on...
00:31:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:31:31
Joe
Doesn't once, miscontrolls the brew, cuts in again, just can't really get the brew out of his feet, real faint to sort of get a bit of space, and then...
00:31:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:31:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Since code is fine.
00:31:42
Joe
Yeah, since coy flyer in i mean it he wraps it in the bottom corner. So it's like, there's that erratic word for like, he can't beat him the first time, but he's so willing to be like, he's so direct and willing to be like, ah okay, ah I've got myself in this position, I'm not allowed to get something out of it. Let me just brute force my way to create in the space for a shot.
00:32:04
Joe
And to be fair, you would argue do that like maybe another Saraka Ruta, who probably might not even to sort of initiate that sort of oneon one-on-one, would probably look to pass after he's ah say he's done the twist of the turn. He'd probably get his head up and look to pass the ball on, because that I think Mattone was waiting at the back post, and I think Jar Pedro or something might have been not sort waiting in the centre.
00:32:27
Joe
and but Mintz has a sudden now I'm doing this on my own hold my um hold my beer I'm going to start I'm just going to do this even though he might be Muslim which is I shouldn't say that but hold my Pepsi max there you go um but yeah it was a it was a good girl it was a good girl
00:32:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:32:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
and yeah
00:32:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
just
00:32:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
but we might
00:32:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah and that's also the beauty of having him on like in the the stuff that we were saying at the beginning of the season in terms of the threat that he offers, that that pace in behind, all the moves started from,
Brighton's Competitive Struggles
00:33:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
it literally started from nothing, a bit of a scramble, a hustle and tuffle in the middle.
00:33:00
Joe
ah
00:33:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then Wiffer, I believe it was, just plays a long ball ah into that open space in behind and minted onto it much quicker than Christiansen.
00:33:10
Joe
Yeah. i mean Yeah.
00:33:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then that's how he gets his finish. but yeah that hopefully that actually does kick on and it's beautiful to see as well him come on and do something like that because i feel like if he is that super sub type then that pace is obviously a threat and yeah unfortunately
00:33:29
Joe
Yeah.
00:33:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
that goal went to no avail because we did and those two that we spoke about earlier after and ultimately we went from being fifth in the league to then contending with the Champions League places to now Champions League is looking very much far away.
00:33:34
Joe
In the...
00:33:49
Joe
success I mean, you need to but the only thing is is that I think that I actually will go on a whim here and say the top four.
00:34:01
Joe
I said ah can't remember if I said it to you like in person, and I might have said the top four is going to basically be what it is now.
00:34:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah
00:34:08
Joe
So it is an asshole city, Liverpool, Chelsea. um And I feel like it would be quite hard to catch the ball as well. But if if it is going to be a team, I think it might be City that drops out.
00:34:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:34:22
Joe
I think it might be City that drops out. they look They're looking wide for at the moment.
00:34:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
i ah For most of the game, we were only one point behind C.
00:34:30
Joe
yeah so i mean yeah europe european places are definitely out for grabs i have seen fans on twitter saying talking about renegation it is only a small handful of fans you need mate you need to go to the fridge get an energy drink or something i don't know mate anything have a cup of tea chill out we're not getting relegated you've had here first yeah
00:34:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:34:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
We only need another 10 more points to not get relevant. 10 more points in 23 games. I think we'll be fine.
00:35:01
Joe
yeah yeah is that is very reactionary you need to chill out
00:35:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, I feel like tomorrow we should talk about the not so easy run that we've been on, because we all anticipated this being an easy run and what a nightmare it's basically
Preview of Upcoming Matches
00:35:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
proved. And still going on, we've got a couple more easy games, in quotation marks coming up. But yeah, hopefully... Yeah.
00:35:17
Joe
oh yeah yeah crystal palace they're gonna be gassed as well because they just got a point they get city
00:35:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah ah Hopefully everyone sticks around for those and watches our preview episodes and tomorrow's episode where we look back or look into these games in more detail. Thank you very much all the guys for listening and stick around. See you next time.
