Brighton - Post Match Thread - 0-0.

[Milo]

Chucking Champions League away. 2 points at a time 

[jayfox26]

I can accept mistakes. I can accept losing or drawing. What I wont accept is a complete lack of urgency, pride, commitment and just basic football. That was utterly woeful and I will not accept an empty stadium as an excuse or lack of fitness. Brighton wanted it more than we did and they were unlucky they didn't get the 3 points. There is zero point in having 70% possession when you do **** all with it. Vardy may as well retire, he'll be lucky if we create him another chance any time soon. That was utterly dreadful. Not a single meaningful shot on target and not one player was bursting a gut to make a difference. Honking! 

[Tielemans63]

That was almost Craig Shakespeare levels of guesswork out there tonight. That was a 'hope for the best' line-up if ever I saw one.

[Bezzanator89]

We may as well be on the beach. It's sunny and we are in June. Would make a lot of sense.

[LCFCSOULBOY]

Looking at our remaining fixtures lucky if we finish top 4. Out of the current top 6 I would honestly say we have the toughest run in. For those who think top 5 will still be good enough. Don't underestimate Manure City winning their appeal. UEFA and FA would prefer having our so-called big 5 in the Champions League than Leicester.

[southfox66]

Boring game, but how was that not a penalty or was the old chestnut not clear obvious error by ref. Two boring games, for me isn't enjoyable, scrap the season and do on points 

[winteriscoming]

Clueless selection from Rodgers. Our form since xmas is probably worse than the sides in the bottom 6. 

[Steve Earle]

Positives?

- we somehow avoided losing

- the hype about JJ might be over? Give the lad a chance, he’s nowhere near as good as the teens on here make out, and wouldn’t have played had Amartey been fit. He’ll be good, but he’s not great now

- er, no injuries 

 

Hugely disappointing, that was a must win game

[Le Renard]

The French commentator on RMC Sport described Leicester in one word 'Insipide'!  Couldn't have put it better myself!

[Fightforever]

That second wave should hit anytime now mind

[foxes_rule1978]

1 win in 7, going for top 4 won’t get you too 4

We have no metal. We are toothless.

[Sunbury Fox]

It's not just that Mason doesn't give the handball, the fact that it isn't even checked by VAR is totally astonishing. 

[Blue ROI]

Another dodgy decision goes against us yet again.

 

Having said that it was one god awful game. Republic of Ireland would be more entertaining 

[nnfox]

I actually think we are quite easy to set up against. A defensively organised team seem to have very little trouble preventing us from creating anything.

 

The whole team looked rusty tonight. Too many players unable to accurately pass the ball 15-20 yards.  If by some miracle we do have to play in the CL, if we play like that we'll get murdered.

[Gazza3]

Really really disappointing 

[stevelcfc]

Based on the last 16 games, we'd do well to stay up!

[Always Next Year]

What a load of shite why dose Maddison take all dead ball kicks and all corners do we not have anyone other than him.

To much tip tap tip tap at the back, no crosses into the box to give anyone a chance to score.

Need to wake up or we will be out of top 3 and out of the FA Cup.

Not impressed 

 

[Blanchflower78]

We look like 6th place material to me. Under normal circumstances that would be considered excellent but not when you have somehow spunked 3rd when it was nailed on..

[CloudFox]

Dreadful performance. Setting up with two defensive mids at home against a team who have won once this year is not on.

 

I have questions, Brendan. Lots of questions.

Explain this.

 

Brighton player handballs the ball just outside the box, gets fouled and penalty given. 

 

Brighton defender arm in un natural position and no penalty give? Horse shit of the ****ing highest order  

I think the deflection off vardys head means that there is only a yard between his touch and the arm contact.  For some reason he has turned his back which means his arm swings around in what looks like a natural counter movement ......but it may not have been. However, with your back turned you don’t try and stop the ball with your hand as it could easily deflect off it and into the goal 

 

I think the law states that a deflection of the ball just ahead of contact with the arm makes a handball decision  unlikely

Yes Brighton are from the seaside but we are already on the beach. Shocking

[lgfualol]

I can't even describe how awful that was. I dont think Rodgers knows how to fix this unfortunately. Thought over the last 2 months he would have figured out a plan.

[Izzy]

Good job we’re expanding the stadium. 
42,000 will be falling over themselves to see that every week
