Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 Typical how to deal with going to a newly promoted side on day one. Weather the storm and pick them off. Hard to make any major conclusions about Ipswich or Liverpool based on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 Don't know what to expect from us today. I'm sure we'll be gritty and everything but starting the season with Young and Keane in our back four is kinda unacceptable. I think we've recruited well enough but we need a couple more.

LFCMike Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Really good second half. Was always going to be a bit scrappy first hall. Could have had another one or two as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Yeah, pretty much echo everybody here. First half you just have to let them exert their energy, it’s the same with every promoted side on the first day, looking to make a big statement. Second half was fully controlled and we could have scored a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 We started well but when you have fast players against slow players you can literally just run past them and score and Brighton did just that. Too bad we hate signing fast players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 Just seen Schar's red on Twitter and don't see why everyone's losing their minds over it. I agree that players shouldn't be sent off for that and if anything the player that pretends to be injured should be booked, but like, this isn't new. The rule has been "touch someone with your forehead and you're getting sent off" for about 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 Calvert-Lewin with a humongous dive to win a penalty and VAR overrules it even though there was contact. I agree with the decision. I have absolutely no faith that we'll see that replicated throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 0-2 game over. Mistake from Gueye punished by Welbeck. Don't think Keane took up a great position. Time to get Ndiaye and Lindstrom on to get used to their team mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brereton Diaz should have been red carded for play acting, if it is repealed the league should given him a retrospective ban for being a jammy cnut.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 0-3. There's an element of "shit happens" to the way this game went up until the second goal. After that we've totally capitulated. Lack of discipline and poor body language. At least if you're going to lose the opening game, lose in a manner that hopefully encourages everyone at the club to realise they need to get their shit together.

Look its a bit of an absolute hiding to nothing for a club that had fans dreaming of maybe a push towards mid table. Brighton are a difficult team to get but they have given you an absolute hiding.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17 Subscriber Share Posted August 17 I just feel sorry for that manager Brighton have in on work experience. He's going to have a rude shock in the remaining 37 games when he realises the Premier League isn't actually the piece of piss we made it look today.

Ah yes, a red for playacting. That old rule. Schar is silly for doing it and deserved the red. Should know better not to put your head on to someone else's...
