Ayari was poor today, Hopefully Hinshelwood can take his place

[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
This. We played with pace and intensity for about 5 minutes at the start of each half, and then went back to facing 11 Everton players behind the ball and getting nowhere. Slowly.
I would happily do this, if I could have enough points without the ST.
One of the raison d'etres of VAR is to spot things that the ref misses - if something happens and the ref doesn't notice it, that is the very definition of a clear and obvious error!

Just woke up and read commentary, 16 shots, but only 1 on target !!!.
Playing in an Aussie Day bowls match this morning. Is it worth watching the game in the pm, or will extended highlights do ?

Wouldn’t bother with any of it

Extended highlights will be 3 mins max I'm afraid!
Which you were watching rather than watching the game, Big Man…?

I hope they both continue to get decent game time, both continue to develop and both become top PL players with The Albion

Haven't seen the game so could someone tell me if it was:
A) an unlucky defeat
B) Another insipid, poor performance
C) Other
Essentially, should I bother watching a replay of it, or even the highlights?

B. Totally.

That's disappointing. I was hoping it was A and we were robbed.

B - In fact it was one of the worst games Ive seen in a long time, The Albion didn't manage a shot on target in 98 minutes, whilst Everton on ly had their single shot on target by virtue of the ref giving them that pen. It was awful. Dreadful. If that is football now, Im done.

And the only shot on target we had, was a blocked shot that gently looped up, forcing Pickford to knock it over the bar

That was absolutely turgid stuff. The sort of game that can turn kids off football for life.
I know we've always struggled against teams that come to the Amex with a negative game plan. But I feel like we're getting worse at dealing with these kinds of tactics; if not worse, certainly not better.

And........Everton only had 10 left on pitch for last 18 mins cos they'd used their alloted subs and we still couldn't break them down.

We are completely sussed and unless we get an early goal, visiting teams are all able to sit back and watch us pass the ball around two thirds of the pitch with zero goal threat.

Apologies if fixtures…..I saw a Everton player shown a yellow card after they had scored…but this perhaps expands on why

Now we can add imitating a seagull to the list of things you can be booked for in the Premier League.
Iliman Ndiaye scored the only goal in Everton's 1-0 win at Brighton and celebrated by flapping his arms like a gull in front of the home fans - whose team are nicknamed the Seagulls.
He was duly booked for excessive celebrating, leaving fans on social media confused about what exactly he had done wrong.
Law 12 in the IFAB Laws of the Game says: "Players can celebrate when a goal is scored, but the celebration must not be excessive; choreographed celebrations are not encouraged and must not cause excessive time wasting.
"Leaving the field of play to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence but players should return as soon as possible.
"A player must be cautioned, even if the goal is disallowed, for climbing on to a perimeter fence and/or approaching the spectators in a manner which causes safety and/or security issues, acting in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way, covering the head or face with a mask or other similar item, removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt."
But the seagull imitation is far from the strangest thing to be shown a yellow or red card in football. BBC Sport looks at some of the others.

So why don't we do away with onfield officials and let VAR make decisions ? The ref gave a corner, so why do VAR poke their nose in ? Could understand if he gave a pen and VAR got involved.
