[Albion] Premier League 21-23/08/21

Give over...

Dyche constantly runs a narrative that the opposition are divers, the game's gone soft, and his players are hard done by etc. etc.
He isn't the first manager to try and get a narrative going to help persuade referees to be lenient to certain aspects of their teams style of play.
It undoubtedly works. Ferguson/Mourinho/BFS are past masters at influencing the ref by running a narrative on perceived injustices on their team.

It is noticeable how lenient refs are to physical challenges in games featuring Burnley.
In itself it isn't a bad thing, but it does give you an edge, because it suits your style of play.

The fact that you haven't been given a single red card in the period is testament to that fact, every other club has had at least 1 soft red in the same period.

Exactly.

Dyche is following a proven strategy pioneered by great trophy winning managers. It obviously works which is why 19 out of the 20 PL managers do it.

West Ham 1 up. Nice goal.

There's been just the one 0-0 this season so far.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Lovely goal that.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Leicester player off…..challenge shown on big screen…didn’t think that was allowed?

 

[Beach Hut]

Red card Perez

 

[Is it PotG?]

Red card all day, well done VAR.

Ouch! Can't see why Leicester players are so pissed off about that red.

 

[Motogull]

Standard ****ish stuff from Schmeichel. Shut the fukk up.

 

[Hugo Rune]

A clear clear leg breaker but was Perez pushed?

 

[bluenitsuj]

4th. Potter out

Perez 3 match ban and suspended for their fixture against us?

I kind of think that he didn't mean it. It certainly looked like he did, but I reckon he stumbled into him by accident. He was going at some pace when he did, the full-speed replays look pretty innocent compared to the slowed down ones where he looks bang to rights.

Do they have a league cup game before they play us?

Not according to BBC website, no.

Not according to BBC website, no.

Is that because they are in Europe?
In that case he will be banned for match vs us.

 

[oldboyroy]

Don't they join in 3rd round as they are in Europe?

I believe they enter the cup in the 3rd round which is midweek following our match with them

I'd have agreed, until I saw the view of the incident looking up the pitch (from Schmeicals POV). Yes he was off balance and stumbling, but he threw his left leg out, away from the ball, to plant it on Fornals shin. It was snide, dangerous and deliberate.

Well done to the VAR (and I've RARELY said that).

Arsenal-esque defending from Leicester 2-0 Hammers

 

[Motogull]

Ha ha.
