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

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Unfortunately Sidwell is not even on the bench. Surprising and disappointing.

Really?? If he isn't injured, then that is a mistake.

Propper and Gross need to held back as subs,introduced towards the end of matches once the pace drops. This would allow a degree of acclimatisation.

Such a shame. We got off on a good foot then Murphy loses the ball when we are fully committed and seconds later we are down. That said after giving it away all the time it is still only 1-0

Get Knocky on. He'll win us the match. Keep the faith Albion brothers and sisters

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Knockeart has a point to prove at Leicester to show he's a premier league quality player. The second half would be a great time to do it

I just hope he doesn't try too hard, he's much less effective when he does that rather than getting carried away. He just needs to just play his normal game, not try and win the game on his own (who just said that IS his normal game)

 

[Weststander]

Strange half. At times we had some good possession although didn't create much. At times we were also rabbits in the headlights!

Suttner, Gross and Proper all struggling with the pace of the game, that's not a coincidence.

Possession is the most irrelevant stat in football. A cliche, but so true, is it's what you do with it. LCFC won the PL with counter attacking and some key set piece headed goals. Sucker punching possession based teams.

 

[Mackenzie]

Still in this. Come on you Super Seagulls.

Why is seagulls tv cutting the discussion during half time and just playing repetitive music. Is this just because I'm abroad, or is this how it's going to be all season?

Hope not.Rubbish music too

 

[scousefan]

Seagulls supporters sound loud and proud. C'mon you Seagulls!

They can't broadcast JC's swearing.

 

[kevo]

Shocked that Sidders isn't even in the squad. Would have dropped Propper after his nightmare last week.

 

[The Gem]

I just see what Murphy brings to the party anymore, hes been poor for the last 6 to 8 months.

 

[TottonSeagull]

The game would open up more for the Albion if the opposition were concerned about being beaten for pace, through the middle.
Clearly Gross isn't that player, assuming the club find that player I have high hopes of Gross being a considerably better player when asked to do the job he actually can.

Kit man maybe? Woeful

 

[scousefan]

Still Liverpool 0 - Palarse 0 :-(

HT match stats.

Shoooooooooooooooooooooot.

 

[KVLT]

All the players being criticised have come recently from other countries to join a team that are playing in a new league which is a huge step up from what they're used to.

It's funny to see names like Sidwell and Stockdale being thrown about given the fact that they were slagged off as not good enough when they first joined a team playing in a league they were used to while already being resident in this country. Given time to settle with the team they became fan favourites.

Tomori and Duffy were shite too remember!

There's even an article here about the fans criticism of Stockdale lest the grizzlers forget:

You wouldn't be here if the score was 0-1.

If I had to listen to Warren aspinall every week I think I'd go mad.
Moan moan moan
If you sat next to someone as negative as him at the Amex every week you tell them to shut the f k up

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

Stephens needs to adapt his game to not being the top dog in the middle of the park. He can do it - just another example of how we're going to be adapting and learning for the first few matches!

KTF

**** we play so slow.
