Isn't a goal bound shot that hits the hand a handball regardless of whether its in a normal position or not?

I want us to sign another RB in the winter and move Lamptey into a Sterling-type role

Jota on the right and on fire, do we want March on him or Burn - I'm not sure....

I'm sure the ref told everyone to cut it out after Grealish yanked Veltman up and booked him, the very next thing that happened is Lamptey going in late on Grealish and I bet Oliver thought it was afters on him after what he'd just done, not surprised he was booked even though I'm sure Lamptey...

Leicester played the same wing back system we do and got nowhere, wonder if Lamptey out might prompt a change of formation and might be beneficial for us? Fixtures have been kind with them playing twice between our game on Saturday and our game with them next week, we have a chance...

I do prefer White in there as once again we were vulnerable on the break in the first half. When he goes in midfield we are much less likely to be broken open. Two of Gros, Lallana and Trossard behind a front two, and I would always play Trossard. But Alzate and MacAllister will get more time as...

Three actual full England Internationals in the Brighton side. That's something.

I wouldn't put it quite so bluntly, but yes, there are plenty of Premier league goalies who would have come out and claimed that cross. I still maintain Potter picking Sanchez was based on him being the kind of big goalie that Potter wants, and we could see more of him sooner than later

Good stuff :) that must have been the part of the game I was watching through my fingers!

I must be doing something right then :thumbsup:

Yep, like you and presumably everyone else, I call it every single time. My favourite Gross moment was I think Arsenal at home first season, but could have been a different Amex game, in any case he got the ball wide right unmarked, Murray was coming through the middle into the box peeling off...

I don't mind :lolol: Actually I think it just goes to show how a reputation can stick. I was definitely on the cheating c*nt side of the equation but he's won me over with his England performances and he didn't do anything yesterday to make him stand out from any other footballer as a...

Oh behave, blimey! Grealish really grinds the gears of some on here doesn't he. :lolol:

One of the most talented English midfielders in generations - certainly potential to be best since Gazza - I still enjoy watching players like that. The difference between then and now is that we didn't come up against players like Gazza or Giggs or Bergkamp in the league so we could admire them...

Players go down easily all the time and our teams have been full of them over the years. In my mind of a player is impeded in some way that isn't a fair tackle, then going down is fine. If you're not impeded at all, stay on your feet or it's a dive. We went in pretty hard and late at times on...

I wonder how long we were after him, how long we had been talking with him and how long he had been waiting for our offer. The signing felt very much like a last minute afterthought, we haven't got anyone else so might as well give him a go, him with no other offers so better take ours. But...

I don't remember him going down without contact. I can check back on the match video if you can remember when he did dive.

Well yeah, absolutely, exactly my point and I'm glad others see it too. Top players do their damage in attacking positions not as full back. Saints kept Bale at LB and it was Spurs who converted him to my memory. I get the feeling that Potter might be starting to think similarly, perhaps telling...

I want White in midfield and Veltman as CB, so that leaves Alzate for wing back I guess. Our right and left wing backs aren't really defenders at all are they. They provide wide cover but are mainly up the pitch.
