Administrator Stan Posted September 20, 2020 Author Administrator Posted September 20, 2020 3-0. Nice finish from Connolly.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 20, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 20, 2020 3-0 Brighton and it's game over. They've been really good. I had them to do quite well last season but never seemed to get the results. Think they'll be nowhere near trouble based on their opening two performances.
Administrator Batard Posted September 20, 2020 Administrator Posted September 20, 2020 Newcastle have been dreadful. How shit are West Ham that they beat last week?!?

Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 20, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 20, 2020 I can't be the only one who thinks that's really harsh.
Administrator Stan Posted September 20, 2020 Author Administrator Posted September 20, 2020 Red card for Bissouma. Upgraded to one after a monitor review. Think it's harsh.
Spike Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Newcastle should just be dissolved to save the suffering on ten billion Geordie souls
Rick Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 It is harsh that red. Foot should be there but he’s not intentionally kicked him in the face.
Bluewolf Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Deemed dangerous play even though accidental.... sums up Newcastles afternoon

LFCMike Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 A high foot like that has been a red for ages now I think. I know there's always an example when the officials haven't been consistent and applied the rule but I think it's a red
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 20, 2020 Subscriber Posted September 20, 2020 Lamptey honestly reminds me of when we signed Kante. The bloke's just absolutely everywhere. Different position but a similar stature. Seems really quite humble too. Very likeable player.
Spike Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Jamie Redknapp 'Leeds were desperate to keep Lamptey' He was never at Leeds. A two year career and he still gets it wrong.

We are bound to be shaking our heads sometime in the future over letting him go when he starts ripping sides a new one week in and week out...

Well what do you want though? Can't play both Reece James and Tariq Lamptey

Administrator Stan Posted September 20, 2020 Author Administrator Posted September 20, 2020 Just now, Spike said: True or not, it's one or the other, if Lamptey were at the club people would be upset about James. Why not both?
Spike Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Just now, Stan said: Why not both? Same position, as well as Azpilicueta. One of Lamptey and James have to be the preferred option, receiving the lion's share, I think it'd be unreasonable and unfair to expect a 50/50 split. Unfortunately it's not a position that can be shuffled around, like the midfield or the forward group.

He is only 31 though, he could play another four seasons and in that four seasons, how many games would Lamptey get? It's better to playing at Brighton as a starter and then maybe playing a few games here and there at Chelsea. Can't strut your stuff if you aren't given the time to do so.

Fuck, thought he was about 34

Honey Honey Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 It was nice of Sky to show some Sunday League. In these difficult times it's not safe to go down to the local park of Saint James. That's probably in our top 3 worst performances since promotion. Should have been 4 or 5 to Brighton. No Premier League side should lose 3-0 at home to anyone unless it is to Man City or Liverpool. If you do you should have your wages docked and a public flogging without face masks. We played Brighton at home exactly 1 year ago tomorrow. We were a shower of shite and couldn't get the ball off them, mugged them off with a 0-0 draw. I think it is fair to say comparing the two games Potter's Brighton have progressed and we look like having defensively regressed. That defending is scarily bad and we've done just as little infront of goal. We lost 5-1 preseason to Middlesbrough. Our defence was on its arse in that game. Our backup defence just got the run around midweek by Blackburn Rovers who then fluffed their chances. What's going on? The personnel are talented enough, we've seen it before. You therefore have to consider what you can't see, which is the coaching and match prep. Against managers like Potter and Brendan Rodgers, why do we look out of our depth? I'd even say he struggles against Dean Smith. The whole game screamed of an absence of preparation, consideration and thought. It looks like team and management arrogance has walked into this.
