What happened in the Brighton vs Arsenal match and why was it a surprise?
Hello and welcome to the Resties Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer, and me, Gary Linneker. Well, this weekend through up a few interesting results, and I think we have to start with the Champions Arsenal. I don't think any of us saw that coming. It's been a long time since Arsenal were really spanked and a brilliant performance from Brighton. But before we come to the football, How is your week?
My weekend was match of the day on Saturday, guys. Um I had a friend's wedding yesterday, so didn't see too much for the football during the day, but watched it uh when I got back. So but yeah, I've had a busy weekend, all good. Um mine's been not
so good, guys, to be honest. Oh. I was doing some of Spec Savers, we lost. We lost the football match. Sack the coach. Sack him. But more importantly, night before I've got to go down. I stay in a hotel. I won't say which hotel, because and I don't want to sound like a snob, but you don't want to put two single beds together and one's higher than the other, and you can't quite get comfortable. And the size of me, my big frame, I was up, I was down, I was round, and I was round. So I go for a toilet about three o'clock. Now Netflix probably won't want this, but I'm gonna tell it anyway. Go to the go to the toilet. And I hear a grunting sound. I thought, is is everyone all right? And then I hear more grunting.
Ooh. I go back from the toilet back into the bedroom. And the sounds coming from next door all made me feel sick. The way it feels sick, and it didn't last for uh 10 minutes. It was a good 45 minutes to an hour.
Which Brighton players and tactics made Arsenal look vulnerable?
One voice to the other voice to another voice to another voice. I'm like this in bed, and I've got to be up in three hours. And it was just, I just knew from that moment when I seen the single bed. And I I just knew I was gonna lose, so yeah it's Well
you know like that at the wind at the at the wall, Michael, you know it caught you were, weren't you, you liar. Micah,
can I can I make a a sincere apology for disturbing your night's sleep? Uh well also um Is it a crisis?
Not yet, not yet, but but I mean he w he would have been very, very alarmed at how easy they folded. I mean, they absolutely brain battered Arsenal, didn't they? From s not for 30 minutes or first half or so it was the complete game. They went after them from the first minute. They had a game plan, the game plan worked to perfection. They looked fitter, they looked stronger, they looked better. So yeah, Brighton were
Only me and Gazman had only seen the highlights because it was three o'clock. Yeah, three o'clock Saturday, yeah. So what what what was it about Brighton that was so good? Obviously I watched match of the day, I seen the analysis, but it it seemed I was I was listening to the reports of it and it seemed like from start to finish.
It was it that's exactly right. I mean, it was from the very first ball that really closed them down uh in as a team and just stopped. You know how Arsenal normally do that to you and and don't allow to give you any space, but the way Brighton found their space with the Arsenal's back four dropping off and allowing uh uh Brighton to have shots at at Raya, then yeah, it went I mean it was something that we very, very rarely see from Arsenal. Two centre halfs dropping off, letting someone gross or whoever that was in the in the little hall turning and having pops at goal. It was uh it was incredible the way Brighton played and everything was defensively superb the way they closed down the midfield, the way they stopped Arsenal, and then in forward positions them to get it could have and should have been six or seven.
Who impressed? Gross was good. Vuskovich good at centre half as well. I mean when you look at what's happening at Tottenham, for them to let him go to Brighton in whatever deal it was, it was something similar, wasn't it? Fifty or fifty five million. Those two I thought were outstanding, but I th everyone, every single one of them, the manager also, for his game plan for it to work that well, for them to go after and be brave.
