It was a slip . Not intentional . Ref gave it which strangely happens a lot to big clubs

Steele should be getting fingers to the header

Pretty drab . No pace down wings . No bite in midfield

Lot of work to do in the summer otherwise we are in danger of a long horrible season imo

Agree. Is RDZ the man to oversee it? He's the best manager we've ever had but he's lost his mojo and so have the players.

 

[AlbionBro]

It's all very well me sitting here grasping my hot Cocoa, but I hope those Albion fans that made it tonight get behind the lads in the second half. It's no fun being given the run around so a twelfth man can only help.

 

[maltaseagull]

He was clipped but seemingly went down much later.

Watching on TV I thought he was complaining about being booked for simulation. Amazed it was a free kick. Total gift from the ref.

 

[Washie]

We haven't got anyone else to play They're all injured or have been sold. What do you want from him?

To stop injuring our players? Only really Solly who went down during a match. The rest are either in training or coming back far too soon. He's even hopeful Solly can be back by the final game, which is still far too soon.

 

[Ding Dong !]

What do:

Lallana
Moder
Veltman
Lamptey
Webster
Fati

offer......i'll tell you what f*** all

Was laughed at a month or 2 ago when I said De Zerbi out. No doubt in my mind at all now. Give the players a break from his disasterclass that’s been the last 6 months. They look physically and mentally drained. Let the players express themselves for the last few games without the mindless robotic tactics they are forced to follow.

 

[Bodian]

The awarding of the free kick was analysed for a grand total of 5 seconds

Dunk slightly touched Foden's tummy apparently.

Yes. I thought it had been given against him at first.

 

[The Fits]

Pure Brighton

 

[Soton Seagull]

I'm hoping for floodlight failure!

 

[Weststander]

injuries schminjuries, just a totally illogical set up, so many players committed to the first phase that there’s no one to actually attack, and twice the danger when we lose it. yes it’s man city, but they’ve barely come out of first gear

StarLizard/recruitment have also got our squad pace attributes all wrong. We’re carrying Gilmour, Lallana, Milner, whilst sadly Gross and Veltman have aged several seasons in one.

horrid little runt

 

[A1X]

Cheer up, five more games of this turgid shit to sit through yet

 

[BevBHA]

Odel Offiah coming on. Lol

 

[oldboyroy]

From east upper I thought Barca looked ok , yes made a mistake or 2 , general play good and can take a corner. I would play him for rest of season

Yes, apart from the error he's been our best player

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

Wasn’t a dive, looked a genuine slip, Moder did try to trip him 2 strides before but Foden rode it and stayed on his feet.

Looked like a slip but Foden appealed for a free kick or even a penalty, should have been booked

 

[AlexBH]

That’s a good summary of our problems atm

 

[macbeth]

gillette what an absolute tosser

 

[Weststander]

We at least has some sort of excuse in the autumn with those 6 extra Europa games, and we did well in the Europa and ok in the PL considering. It's been beyond shit in every competition since Feb.

An expert here told me that the EL games had no adverse impact on player fatigue, none whatsoever.
