[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[zefarelly]

We did, Gross hit row Z, Mac Allister hit row XX twice, Moder hit row XXZ. Not a glowing endorsement of a ‘just shoot’ policy that match.

I was busy first half, then took me 10 mins to find flowing water.

I wonder why we have a world class defender as attacking coach?

 

[BBassic]

For a bit of light relief, the Palace forum are incandescent with rage at the officials in their match against the vastly superior Liverpool.

Quite entertaining and just adds that bit of pleasure to the point we have earned today.

To be fair, that penalty was soft as shit.

To be even fairer - hahahaha

I would have liked to have seen Lamptey on earlier, given he has already shown he can play 75 mins and now has a two week break. He totally changed the game.

it was an odd decision

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Really?
Hes playing in the best Albion team ever. There’s pace , movement and intelligent players to play off.
Its just not there anymore.

EDIT I’m being thick!!!! I get what you’re saying now . Lol

Not just me then. Gross is being shown up by THE better players in the team. That's the only conclusion I can come up with.

He was the weak link. Nice turn though.

Along with Clinton Morrison on Sky - very amusing to watch the numpty so upset.

Just trying to escape a Leicester car park. Poor first half, but then battered them for half an hour after Lamptey and Welbeck came on.....fully deserved a point. Burn outstanding AGAIN.

For those who like reading such things, interesting discussion here between Leicester fans who think they should easily beat 'teams like Brighton' and others rightly pulling them up for their arrogance:

Wrong my good friend, were drew

I new weird drawer

I think it was a clash with Rugby in Leicester

Rugby isn’t in Leicestershire, it’s in Warwickshire.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

A decent away point… the fact that some of expected, and we all hoped , for more - just shows how far we have come.
I can remember going to Leicester and feeling very much the poor relation ..
o k we did not dominate for much of it but we can’t expect to play like Barcelona every week.
A blank week next week then it’s Tottenham in the cup …. Lovely!

 

[Weststander]

Having just watched the Palarse - Liverpool match, Liverpool could really do with a Bissouma type player. Not sure what's happened to Fabinho - Liverpool were wide open in central midfield countless times - against PALARSE!

PS: Apols - wrong thread!

Klopp simply sets out that way in every game eg Albion @ Anfield. The FB’s always attacking, CB’s pushed up. Rolling the dice with attacking “rock and roll football”, more interested in goals scored than a clean sheet and the risks.

Guardiola or Tuchel always keep significant numbers of players back when winning, midfielders covering the defence.

Another hugely disappointing draw against a shit team that we should have put away comfortably. Every game is the same. We dropped 4 points against a shit, tired, out of form Chelsea team. We failed to punish Arsenal, Newcastle, Norwich, West Ham and numerous other sunday league teams. Might as well leave Potter and Reid in permanent self-isolation and get in someone who can coach the players to score now and again or who can buy a striker who scores.
So ****ing depressing week after week.

cheery chappy!

I snagged a swedish haddock and a few cod by the looks of it.

you're a very funny man!

 

[Icy Gull]

I still remember the first away game in the PL when Mahrez scored in the first few minutes and that donkey Maguire scored the second. We were an absolute embarrassment that game. So much so that the Leicester press suggested that was the worst performance they had EVER seen from a PL team.

How times change, halcyon days to be an Albion fan

 

[Questions]

On the subject of Gross being in decline I would suggest it's more to do with the fact we move the ball so much quicker now and he needs to adjust to that....... He hasn't lost any pace has he

He can't play a quarter back role in this team. He isn't good enough for that.

Didn’t think Burn was great on TV - but better than Webbo who was really careless.

Safe journey home

They have, I was at that one and it was poor, but that start was not helped by Murphy, Sutherland and Ryan.

The other huge difference is 4-5 years to build a team, at that point we were just starting. We now have Sanchez, Cucurella and Trossard
