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

[The Fits]

Pervis poor in first half because Dunk was struggling to adapt on the left IMHO. Yes he's played there very lots but it's a very different position under RDZ. Both much better second half.

MOTD agreed, stonewall penalty

 

[LamieRobertson]

Back home now, shattered, sore throat and based on the performance, happy with the point.
We just weren't at the races today, not helped by the fact that Leicester parked the bus for 90mins, but it worked for them.
Should we have nicked it? Yeah I think so, with March's awful miss and I've not seen the pen claim but it looked like a stonewall at the time.

Van Hecke was very poor and never looked comfortable, Estupinan had a shit first half but better second. Ferguson should've started, we looked way more of a threat when he came on.
Cracking goal from Mitoma, he deserved it, he works hard.

Anyway, not the best day at the office but shit happens. A fair result.

Not sure I’d blame March for slipping over

Plus Pervis made an excellent interception on Vardy….involved in Mitoma’s goal….both first half

30 mins of highlights on Sky right now.

 

[Dr Q]

Commentators really annoy me when the mention that Leicester player who sounds like a stately home.

 

[Gabbafella]

‘Very poor’ and ‘shit’

I thought Estupinan had a much improved second half and was great for our equaliser.
Van Hecke just didn't look good today. Was he the right choice if Webster was fit and Veltman was available?

Not sure I’d blame March for slipping over

Only saw it live so looked like a bad miss, just seen motd and clearly slips over.

It was his full debut ffs, give him a break

No, no no…….stop using facts to refute that he was shit

 

[raymondo]

Under this and the previous software, you’re just click away from quoting all and sundry. The difference now, I think it’s across threads.

I've done it a few times

 

[Gabbafella]

I'm hardly writing him off, I just said he had a poor game.
I like him as a player, I think he's yet another one of our youngsters that will prove to be a very good addition to the squad. He will learn a shit load playing with Dunk alongside him too, you could see them constantly talking and Dunk giving him direction.

He wasn't give him a hard time, just saying it was a strange decision to play him with Webster and Velts available - which it was. And it cost us the second Leicester goal.

In my mind it should have been a 3-2 win to the Albion. I don't know why suddenly Solly is screwing up his chances more often than not but he absolutely had an easy goal set up by Mitoma and fumbled it royally.

And of course that was easily a penalty that should have been awarded for Welbeck being taken down in the box.

Solly’s standing foot slipped. Simple as that.

 

[Bodian]

Solly’s standing foot slipped. Simple as that.

He looked very accusingly at the turf.

 

[trueblue]

Ferguson wasn't picked up at all ! The Leicester defenders were already in the bath.

How did they miss him? He's not small is he?

He took it very well though.

Great movement by Ferguson. A lot of strikers would have steamed into the box and ended up offside or picked up easily. As we’ve seen before, he bides his time and picks the moment. That’s why it looked so easy. Not afraid to stand still sometimes so defenders don’t know whether to pick him up.

 

[trueblue]

He looked very accusingly at the turf.

He did. He ended up kicking the ball against his standing foot, which wouldn’t have happened if the turf hadn’t given way. I think you can see the divot.

‘Very poor’…..not imo

 

[trueblue]

Disagree , he stood on the toes of Welbeck . IMO

Definite contact. For some reason MOTD didn’t show the one decent angle in the match edit. Used it in the analysis but with a freeze frame, so you still couldn’t see what was a very clear foul. If Lee Mason didn’t get that angle, you could see why he wouldn’t get involved. If he did, no excuse.

 

[dazzer6666]

Yep, similar to Mitrovich’s penalty this week. Looks awful but shit happens

Webster ALWAYS looks flaky when he comes back and Veltman plays on the right (Veltman was unusually erratic today as well)
