GW6 (9/28-29) [insert quip]
- Thread starter OCST
- Start date
Newcastle have been great. Certainly defended deep but had a plan to really hurt on the counter and probably have been better on the whole. Gonna be an adjustment period without Rodri Newcastle had a lot of joy thugging up the midfield and pressing high. Gundogan had an all time two left feet match and nowhere near enough quality today
Wild start to Chelsea/Brighton. Seagulls strike first off an awful decision by Robert Sanchez to try and claim a ball he had no chance of gettin, then in a span of about five minutes Cole Palmer (1) hits the post, (2) buries one but is offside, (3) finally gets the equalizer. Then another Chelsea goal chalked off for offside. Brighton playing a high line that should make for a lot of action both ways.
So - in the space of about 5 minutes Chelsea have four! 2 on 0 breakaways and somehow only one goal.
And now a PEN
Brighton have been a shambles at the back

Van Hekke and Veltman missing from Brighton's back line, but they need to try something else. There's another yellow on a borderline scoring chance. What a mess.
Edit: wow what a free kick by Palmer. Hat trick.

I was about to complain about a weak yellow against arsenal, but then the ref saw a similar play and gave a weak yellow to Lecister...so um at least he is being consistent.
Fucking Everton, every time.
I mean, I like Everton, but it's getting harder when they keep doing these crazy comebacks against Palace.

That feels like the best proof that we are in a simulation yet. Like it has to be some 6 year old playing Fifa who doesn't know how to press the shoot button.
What a finish. Leicester have been completely dominated in this game, but one lucky deflection and a fucking amazing volley wondergoal and they are level.
If a GK has his hand being looked at he should have to be subbed off, and not just sitting on the pitch.
Ref gives advantage at the top of the box instead of a great freekick and wont give the foul when the team doesn't take the advantage...bad reffing
So Leicester has spent the last 30 minutes of the game with 10 behind the ball and lots of injury breaks.
Will the media complain about how they shouldn't play like that? Asking for a friend.

Corner FC gets it done you can search for a new conspiracy theory for another week
Lol, not a conspiracy. Leicester played great and the GK was amazing but very behind the ball.
Just asking why when Arsenal does it with 10 men the media complains, but yet Leicester would be celebrated...
Maybe because one of those teams wants to win the Prem and it makes little sense for teams at the top to play for a pokin but a relegation candidate sneaking a point against Arsenal would be huge for them?
Maybe the "media uproar" last week was really not much of one and most of what City was complaining about was the absurdity of it? Nobody likes watching a team get extra cynical against them and Arsenal sent their physio on the pitch with the ball in play and had a pig pile on Raya every time he caught the ball. They sent a sub to tell the keeper to take an injury. All this is fine, everyone wants their team to do it when in the situation Arsenal was in but you don't get to do villain things then whine "why is everyone calling us the villain".
That was funny. Lemina goes down, holds the wrong leg. 2-3 minutes go by and Taylor yellow cards Jota.
Could have done with an insurance goal there to help my blood pressure but I’ll take it. Top of the league
Watkins puts Villa up a goal, 2-1, but Ipswitch has had opportunities, some great saves by Emi Martinez to avoid the equalizer.
