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

[Acker79]

On the penalty- I know the whole ‘double jeopardy’ thing is now in the laws, but considering David Luiz was sent vs City when the attacker was further from goal, why was Justin not sent off? Or is it just a standard case of referees being totally inconsistent?

I think that it is mainly the inconsistency because I believe they are meant to also judge whether it was a genuine attempt for the ball/whether they had a realistic chance of getting the ball, which opens up room for a lot of differing judgement calls.

The best goaless first half this season by far..

 

[AmexRuislip]

Great first half for us, now score Albion, second half.....

 

[Mackenzie]

Excellent half. Well played lads.

Exactly!

 

[dstanman]

Good half, shame about the penalty. Hope we can keep the pace up in the second half

 

[BN41Albion]

Excellent half. Another reminder of how much further up the league we could/should be though if we'd bloody take our chances! Must be incredibly frustrating for GP. Hopefully we can continue second half and take a chance or two...

Boring criticism of Stephens who is having a decent game

Nonsense. No one’s said he’s not having a good game but that was a ridiculous challenge that he could easily have gone for and cost us as he has done in the past. He does it literally every game he plays, rightly called on it.

Excellent 1st half just hope we can keep it up. Lamps looks a great player apart from opening 10 not seen much of ally mac. Surely Leicester will get better 2nd half.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Lamptey is playing like a teenage Bruno

 

[Bridcutt]

1st half thoughts

We look the much better side

There's a big difference in our pressing/midfield now compared to before the break etc. We're pressing and challenging a lot more

Lamptey looks great so far, very agile + takes people on

Macallister has been quiet but only been 45mins

Haven't seen Vardy once

Best nsc match thread so far ..no ones called for the entire team to be subbed

 

[Gabbafella]

I'll settle for a 96th minute winner.

 

[father_and_son]

Happy with work effort and the output so far.

Goal would have been nice but wasn't a penalty for me so considering that as balanced.

Bissouma having another great game.

 

[Seasider78]

Solid but with pacy creative outlets makes such a difference to the way we play.

Really good half and stand outs for me Biss, Lamptey and Connelly

 

[Frutos]

Very good first half I thought, obviously frustrating to not score from the penalty but there we go.

I've been impressed with Lamptey, and Connolly is giving Justin all kinds of problems. It's certainly not beyond us to go on and win this, which is a good place to be given the disparity in our league positions.

I did also like the commentary point that we'll have a better chance of staying up if we concede fewer goals - I wonder if GP had thought of that?

well, suck my old stump, we might yet still get beat; but, if you a'int a potter fan now, then i don't know what

This, in spades. Stephen criticisers can just fukin do one, he's all right.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Should be comfortably ahead, so as will usually happen we will now lose 3-0 in the second half

Thanks, seems like a massively subjective grey area!
