Have we got an unofficial official England v Russia thread?

In what way was it negative? To me it looked a positive attacking lineup.

I felt the substitutes were VERY negative. I personally think playing with one striker as negative... you may think sterling and lallana offer something attacking but i don't.

Why does a team that took 15 shots and only managed to convert one deserve to win the game more than a team that managed to score one from only 6 shots?
Why does a team that faced 5 shots on goal and kept 4 of them out, deserve to lose, when their opponents couldn't keep out 2 shots on target?
How can a team that failed with 14 attempts at one end, and couldn't hold out against 6 attempts be deemed to have 'done enough to win'?

OK. Let's try this another way.

Name any game in the last two seasons where you believe Brighton were unlucky and reasons why. I am talking in game luck, not failing to have players out because of injury. You may answer that there wasn't one, because you believe luck plays no part, but just curious.

I can't think of one of the top of my head.

Fair enough, you are evidently one of those who believe what you get is what you deserve. That is a view. Over a season, I agree, just that within just 90 minutes I think luck plays a part.
