The problem is not just the use of technology it’s also the over-engineering of the rules around them. Offside could be simply if any part of the defenders body is in line with the attacker he is onside and we would instantly have a better game. Handball could resort to deliberate use of arm...
Agreed it’s the stream of injury’s that has not only stopped us having our best players at our disposal but killed any chance of consistency or rhythm.
I would put Rome down to RDZ experience as we were set up way too open for an away game in Europe and De Rossi showed us how to do it on the return leg.
I think RDZ has been deflated as has been largely patching up a side since Xmas which must be frustrating for a manager. Look at Arsenal...
That away game in Rome combined with the injuries and cup exit around that time seem to have completely deflated the manager and team and aside from a bit of pride restoring against Rome At the Amex we have largely looked like a side limping out the remainder of the season (which now can’t come...
Trossard and Sanchez behaviour needed stamping on as undermines the manager so can see why RDZ came down on both of them. Dahoud has recently fallen out with the Syrian FA over his agents demands when he attended the national team camp so not just here he has had issues.
Don’t know anything...
I may be a bit madly optimistic but think if we do not qualify for ECL (Europa is out of our reach)and maintain and build on this squad this summer I seriously think it could work in our favour and we could have a tilt at a top 6 finish next season.
Yes and last week and the week before and after January perhaps a bit less talking about it and focusing on the task in hand might be in order. Also may just be me but don’t like managers talking about Tony needing to convince him of ambition given where he has taken this club. Just think he...
The ambition bit is just bollocks if we hold onto most of our players and add some more quality in the summer we could have a tilt at the top 6. This is nothing more than the manager flashing his knickers at the clubs he is being linked with and can’t see Bloom or Barber being impressed no...
Also intensive farming, the river Wye has been destroyed by run off from poultry farms with little or no action or consideration for the river when permitted. Used to be one of clearest most beautiful rivers now algae ridden and ruined...
Whilst Roma were hell to watch at times we have seen firsthand how to game manage and keep tricky away ties tight in this competition. This will be a huge lesson we can learn from
Time will tell if he learns but at face value he has acknowledged that last night he has a lot to think about and learn. You are right in the sense if he puts this down to injuries and squad depth and does not alter something himself he will not progress but for now I choose to believe his...
RDZ is destined for the top but not yet and think he will be with us next season as he has a lot of learning to do and no better environment to grow than at Brighton. I think we will back him in the summer and have a much stronger and experienced squad for next season.
Last night was very...
Thought he was very good but would have preferred for him to start on the left with veltman at right back as think we would have been stronger than with Igor at left back. Fingers crossed he keeps his fitness as need him for the run in
Was hoping for a home tie where we may have had to come back but had a chance of progressing but just exited the competition in a whimper looking like absolute amateurs away form home
