lnkstern Posted 1 November 2020 Share Posted 1 November 2020 I don't understand how you leave Gareth Bale alone in the box like that? I find it hard to believe he could just sneak into that choice of a position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and to some extent us can dine out for years on selling one or two massively expensive players, whilst spending hundreds of millions more than anyone.

OK, but part of the point is, Brighton spend like us, but rarely recruit players who can be moved on for a large profit. And net spend reflects that.

It is high and it surprises me but like some new PL teams with a low starting wage bill and £100-150m armed at their disposal it is easy and usually needed to go and blow £75-100m a few seasons on the spin to try and compete. Maupay, Lamptey, Trossard and Ryan have been shrewd signings. Wasted a lot on some players that flopped though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an odd one because they do seem to have quality. Just can’t get results, I’m sure a decent manager would get them going. There issue seems to be they lack a truly classy number 9. we’d be a similar club without Vardy You can play the best football all day but if you haven’t got a ruthless striker to put the chances away you will never hit a high level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 1 November 2020 Share Posted 1 November 2020 Some dodgy diving in that spurs game. Kane backing into a player whilst he is the air to win a pen again, it’s clearly a foul on Lallana and not a pen, also dangerous play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 1 November 2020 Share Posted 1 November 2020 1 hour ago, StanSP said: We can't wholly blame VAR for that but it certainly did help them along the way. That decision they got at Villa was one of the most insane decisions of the VAR era of football... Was that the one where Fernandes tried a fancy turn in the box with the ball, trod on the defenders foot, fell over and got awarded the penalty? Then ole afterwards said that if defenders Get in the way when an attacker is pulling off a Trick move then it should be a peno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHDrive Posted 1 November 2020 Share Posted 1 November 2020 Aside from scummy spurs I've always liked brighten but they've changed their game quite quickly over the last year from hoofing it a lot to playing nearly all ball to floor. Some of their players especially defence and out wide get it played into them when they have no passing options and they're having to wriggle through passes to avoid it getting taken off them. Watching them this season it's like their style has changed very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think other fans and the press/ TV are particularly bothered how they do. Plus playing good football and not winning many games makes them generally decent opposition.

I thought the player got the ball, it actually changed direction and the player went over, on the channel I was watching they couldn’t believe the decision and said it was a stick on foul. I know there’s an element know that if you take the player as well they call a foul so I can understand it could have gone either way but wasn’t stick on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the new Bournemouth. The press have to have a "little" club to fawn over patronisingly about how they're trying their best to play "proper" football.
