You can guarantee if the roles are reversed we’re calling the ref a willy puller.

Exactly - we would be fuming if that was given as a penalty against us.

Evolution …….. it’s a mystery 

Do you mean devolution? I can't see any evolution here unless you've been sarcastic.

Inconsistency striking again ?

 

Is one much worse than the other ..

It’s still better than waiting for fifteen minutes for VAwank to come out with some absurd decision that rheybhave to wake everyone up to announce. It’s what makes the game febrile. Love it. Even when it’s pants and goes against us. 

[VictorFox]

Regardless if we think it was a red or not something like that has been coming from fatawu for a while now we’ve all said it 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

So… decisions are done and in the book.

 

How do you think we’re setting up?
 

Someone needs to go wide right - is that Mav, with KDH going left and Winks stepping up into a two man midfield?

[Dr The Singh]

Win this it could be a great day, with the Aussies beating the Modi scum.

think the Fatawu one is more of an orange card imo

 

the thomas one, should probably have been a red going by decisions this season etc

He was playing right back and helping us keep some sort of shape. We’ll be running after the ball all half now which we’re simply not used to.

 

Take a ****ing draw now. Ref has ruined this

Casadei off Hamza on… rough half to come but have enough to win. 

Yeah, let's finish with 9 men 😏

The one against Birmingham got a lot of coverage didn’t it - refs watch these things too.

Damn before that red card I was loving the game. End-to-end stuff high on excitement and high quality play. The move for the Casadei chance was outstanding! Faes and Winks have been outstanding for me so far.

 

The red card changes everything, because now we won't dominate possession. At the same time it might make things harder for them, their best moves are coming from Sakamoto who looks like a really good player, but now with fewer gaps in behind they are going to have to fashion the opportunity.

 

I have been really impressed by both teams. I don't like Coventry, but Mark Robbins is a good manager. Their gameplan has caused us problems.

 

It's a shame we don't have Daka right now because he would be the change I would make, to make counter attacks more dangerous.

 

 

You're both right and wrong I think. Yes it'll spoil the game, but Leicester will now knock it about more to keep it away from Cov.

 

Been impressed by Cov though, they've pressed us in our own half throughout, not seen a team do that to us this season, they're usually happy to let us knock it about, which of course is a bad idea (for them).

[Corky]

Choudhury on? I reckon for Casadei. Need Mavididi for his pace.

[VictorFox]

We’re going to see what we’re really made of now in this second half 

[ChrisFilter]

NFP’s word is final. Should have both been reds it seems. Weirdly I find I just take what he says as read 😂

 I'd like a comfortable 3-0 victory and 2-0 up at half time for us.

 

We have reviewed your request.

 

We have determined your desire for a "comfortable" match viewing experience is incompatible with the Enzoball mission statement.

 

You are granted 50 minutes of intense discomfort, with the potential for pure pain at any given moment.

Agreed, this is a learning experience for the kid

[Happy Fox]

Hope one of their men get sent off would be a bonus.

[Jattdogg]

Ah well, is what it is lads.

 

Gotta defend and hope for a win now.

 

Come on Leicester, let's do this!

[Md9]

We need to keep our heads now and keep it as tight as we can for 20’mins after half time now no silly challenges and keep the ball as much as possible make tyem

make a mistake . They get a goal early in the second half they will go on to win

You would be fuming, but you'd be wrong. Whether or not you win the ball, if your taking someone out, studs up at thigh height, then it's a foul. 

[Tielemans63]

Either both red, or both yellow. That's why I'm pissed off.

[studentofthegame]

It's incredibly stupid from Fatawu to make the challenge in the first place and he needs an absolute bollocking for it from Enzo, but it's extremely harsh and I struggle to see it being given if VAR was in play

The standard of the refereeing in this league almost makes me long for the relative competence of Prem refs

[Ric Flair]

If a Cov player had done that challenge on us we'd think it's a red. It's unnecessary and he's been struggling the last few league games. We're now in a world of shit.
