Lyon away - Europa league

[Eden Eagle]

Worst ref I’ve seen for a long time, Sarrs booking was bizarre

Can the Sarr booking be overturned?

 

[mtp1958]

This ref made clattenburg look honest

 

[Spindle]

No ones blaming the ref .
Mitchell foul could of resulted in a goal
And the last Kamada one was stone wall .
He was a tit .
We all know our weaknesses

The ref was one of their best players.

Him playing on when we had a head injury, then stopping as soon as we won possession and broke away because one of theirs had a bumhole injury really took the piss. Then the Kamada foul, jeez.

Unfortunately JSL is proving himself to be an overspend. Matt Hobbs thinking that if he buys him again for even more then he'll be even better.

 

[Frenchaigle]

It's very frustrating, as we look good going forward .
If the plan is to out score the opposition then we are in for a rollercoaster of a season .

 

[grumpymort]

That can be overturned right?

dont think it can in this competition and if you risk it you can get further punishment

 

[edskan]

I hope Mateta is back for Brighton. Tired of Grand Larceny fart-arsing about.

Lost it in first half. Not sure why we played so badly and then improved in second half. Perhaps if we hadn’t let in that late first half goal we might have got a result. Thought we as a team would have been better with Disasi back but him and Timber were poor throughout. Going to have to sort out this ability to play so badly for large parts of a match. Forrest we got lucky. Tonight it went against us and Brighton won’t let us off the hook unless we play well throughout the ninety plus minutes. Can’t put my finger on why we look so poor at times. Is it Sage?

 

[syd snot]

That c*** of a ref must be in with a chance of the balon d'or!

 

[BromleyMonkey]

That can be overturned right? Probably not for yellows eh. What fun times we live in

You would think so, but they can’t do anything about the penalty we didn’t get that could’ve changed the game

 

[VinceHilaire]

There is one positive - hopefully no further injuries for Sundays game

Timber was not poor. Wtf are you on about?

 

[Mark B]

I mean, he is literally one of the best technically gifted players on our payroll.

Agree, he just isn't as physically talented as some other players on the roster, his technical skills are off the charts though and it seems that being in the right place at the right time is more important than being the fastest guy on the pitch in a sprint.

Yes it’s annoying, but at least when we’re behind you always feel like we can get back into a game, just a shame it took until we were 2-0 down to get going, that goal on the stroke of half time killed us

 

[Palacesince64]

Decent second half performance. No disgrace losing to Lyon away. We missed Tomiyasu’s quality at the back. Canvot did ok. Playing 3 at the back you need a centre back who’s prepared to carry the ball and he certainly is albeit at times he shouldn’t. Richards was more comfortable second half. Disasi was poor.
We pressed higher second half and once Kamada came on we looked more likely to score. Sarr didn’t look like a £40 million player but neither did JSL. In the end Lyon were more clinical in front of goal.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

We did, but Liverpool stole it.

Liverpool? Stealing? Hmmm.

 

[MarkA333]

We deserved to be battered in this game, just like the Forest game. Saying holes exist in our defence. A competent side will put 6/7 past us soon. Maybe on Sunday. It’s the way Sage sets us up.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

That c*** of a ref must be in with a chance of the balon d'or!

Or getting his balons slammed in a door.

 

[pssguy]

I still believe in players on the post on corners , it makes target smaller

1 or 2 less to mark opposition players and often getting in the way of the goalkeeper did for that idea. My bugbear is goalies punching the ball back into play rather than save it or palm it around post for a corner. I guess there is data on that as well

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Piss off to the Lyon forum with your frog mates

don't tell him to Piss off. More appropriate is to Hop off.

 

[MarkA333]

Can’t remember a more chaotic defence in 50 years.
