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

[Insel affe]

Oh well, considering the two unforced errors, we did well to get a draw, Connolly should have done better with two good chances, we all know the truth about our two strikers that started, simply not good enough. Good performances by several players and they will be gutted to lose on penalties.

Onwards & Upwards eh

 

[Durlston]

F**king hate Leicester and that smug prick, Brendan Rodgers.

Hope they get a shit draw in the quarters. Arsenal or Spurs away will do.

Can't wait for this shockingly shite month to end. It's been a dreadful feeling after every match almost for so many different reasons.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Better side but no cutting edge.

And repeat

Leicester were stronger than us for most of the match. Their big guns came on at the end

Aaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh!

Some comments bit harsh on Steele considering he hardly plays a game bound to be rusty. I was hoping we would of gone for this rather than Liverpool with a strong line up as we probably had more chance of progressing in the cup. A home draw would of been super if we had got through.

The national anthem booing Scouse twats that have brought nothing but drug dealing filth to our fine city. UTA

Do we reckon Locadia has done enough to earn a start on Saturday?

I'd rather not let it be known to the world that we still have him on our books. And then for them to see how bad he is and how much we paid for him.

Oh do f***off.

If you read the original post I was replying to I meant they had a stronger line up out most of the game. I thought we were the better team though.

After the first 15-20 we controlled that game for long spells, especially in the 2nd half. But once again our current propensity to simply gift the opposition cheap goals has cost us. Potter can do what he likes on the training ground, but when Steele and Sarmiento go and do what they did, then everything just goes down the toilet. We should have won that.

That said, I thought Sarmiento (aside from the cock-up) looked very lively and caused them plenty of problems, and Mwepu was excellent when he came on, finding space in dangerous areas and always involved. Locadia was barely worth mentioning, but Connolly....bloody hell. Another stinker of a performance, totally ineffective. Nothing he does seems to have ANY effect on the game whatsoever. He is so far off being a Premier League striker its not even funny.

Swansea reserves are more his level

Totally agree with this although the defender (Webster, I think) was as culpable as Steele for the first goal (assuming he had a shout). No need to dither.

A good display let down by 2 mistakes, 2 pens and 2 woeful forward performances

Leicester? I thought they were shit tonight and without the unforced errors we win that.

I was replying to:

“Who cares? Rubbish trophy anyway.”

Winning the league cup would be the pinnacle so far for our club, so yes I do care a lot.

 

[Swansman]

If AC wasnt AC his performance this night would have been seen as very promising.

 

[Mr Banana]

Anyone else see Wayne Henderson at the bar? I was very pleased and would have unleashed my dictaphone had it not been two minutes before kick-off

 

[Weststander]

To be fair Potter cared as shown by his subs . the problem we have is locadia avoids being a striker by not getting in the box leaving Connolly who I will now accept looks out of his depth. With what we have now time to bring in Tolaj and/or Ferguson.

Potter, the players, and obviously Rodgers and his players cared. Professionals want to win above all else.

I was referring to some fans here belittling the league cup, not bothered and unmoved by our exit. For us, it would be amazing to win it, which happened to become not such a long shot after Citeh were knocked out.

Envious here of West Ham still in the draw.

Sorry, but he's regressed. There comes a point where it has to go beyond "promising", but I've been watching the bloke for over 2 years now and he is literally no better than he's been for the last two seasons. He got those 2 goals vs Spurs on his full debut on 5th October 2019 - and then didn't score again until the final day of that season (so 3 goals in 24). Then last season, he scored a grand total of 2 goals.

I've tried to be patient, but it has become abundantly clear that he is simply not up to it at Premier League level. He is, at best, a lower-end Championship striker. I would LOVE him to prove me wrong.

But he won't.

I actually think he would be quality at championship level. The Swansea game showed that. But the prem is a whole different kettle of fish and I just dont think he has what it takes.

He desperately needs a loan. And if bloom and potter don't trust him enough to loan him we should bin him now
