Brighton, A Match Thread

[Farrington fox]

Rodgers has got a job on here. Why does he always pick the wrong side for the job. 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Every single ****ing game the ref goes to check the monitor, yet when it's us he doesn't bother? If it was United or Liverpool he'd have gone over to the monitor.

[Mark]

Can we start playing now then?

[21st Century Fox]

This is going to be a loooong season.

[drumbeat]

Right decision though I'm not sure it ought be.

 

We're a team without confidence. Need to be more assertive. They're a decent side though.

[weller54]

Is Maddison playing!!?

[UniFox21]

Maupay pulls him down, bringing that arm round 

[smr]

Never a penalty in a million years. 

 

And why is not yet mandatory for the ref to go over to the screen and look at it himself. It's an absolute farce. He goes over to the linesman and asks him, then VAR looks at it, and yet, as the referee, he is the only one who doesn't go and see it again with his own eyes - he is the ****ing ref. Is it not his job ? Absolutely f******g nuts.

[egg_fried_rice]

how has he got away with that? I know we've been shite, but this is as seething as I've been about a decision in a long time

[honeybradger]

Why is soumare being played as a 10 in a 4231? Switch to 433 and we can progress the ball easier AND he can use his defensive qualities.

[Guest MarshallForEngland]

That's ridiculous I have to say. He's being dragged over. Perhaps we should ask the ref to jump in the air while someone tries to pull him to the ground and see where his arm ends up. How else can we expect officials to have any idea what they're actually supposed to be looking at? Was the same last night with Walker's clear foul to bring down the Southampton player. The ref was obsessed with the tangle of legs and missed the fact that Walker had already barged him over by the time their legs collided. 

[Saigon Fox]

I feel like I don't understand football any more.

[blabyboy]

ytf was Vestergaard jumping upwards with his arm in the air in the first place... he looked he was trying to handball it there.

[lcfc cowboys]

What a load a crap has someone said yesterday things look good in the last preseason against villeral then the fofana injury since then the team look a ****ing shambles

[dylanlegend]

Im happy they scored. Getting fed up of watching our play these days, hopefully we might attack abit now 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Veste for such a big guy doesn’t half get pulled about a lot. Mediocre player. Spoilt with the quality of Fofana probably.

[AKCJ]

That is absolute bollocks. Never, ever, ever a penalty.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Would help to pick players in form or rather not pick players who aren't. 

[Onions]

Don’t want to be a pessimist, but we’re going down ain’t we 🤷‍♂️

[Fox85]

Lcfc cannot beat teams playing negative football.

 

We have no one else to blame but our self's our football is dire to watch just lately.

 

Seems like we haven't got a clue how to attack 

[Stinkenzo]

Is Vardy's number of touches into double figures yet?

[Jattdogg]

Pathetic call. 

[Nod.E]

Should have been a foul and therefore no penalty, but make no mistake, this has been woeful. 

 

Tielemans terrible again. Maddison absent, again. 

 

Being totally overran in the middle.

[RowlattsFox]

Absolutely rubbish decision. He's got 2 hands on him FFS.

Does the same apply to the Manager - he trains and picks them

It's clear he has his favourites. Can't argue that Rodgers has brought success to the club but decisions he makes and subs he does is baffling.

 

His style of football should be fast and exciting and in reality it's slow and pedestrian.
