How did Lascelles play?  I know he gets a lot of criticism but i think it's important he plays well this season.

 

He is untested except for their corner which he defended well.

Yea, didn't put a foot wrong, barely even noticed he was on the pitch. Which is probably a good thing for a CB. Defense looked well organized, he can prob take some credit for that

Merino is a superstar

Merino is so good

Joselu  looking tired

Great play out of the back there

Blobby just can't kick, fucking awful

Joselu looks a real find

oh fuck, losing Ritchie would not be good

Great tackle and ball by Merino, awareness by Atsu, and composed finish under pressure by Joselu. Just what we've all been looking for!

Really like Merino man. Has been fantastic winning aerial balls in midfield and using the ball so well.

It's amazing how much of a difference he makes, he's already so good

I like Manquillo, but man, Yedlin would be huge on that right hand side, just to loosen up that back line

Our strikers clearly aren't going to score much, need a #10 or someone right behind them to do it, and Perez clearly isn't it again today. Wish De Jong could do it, but seems not I guess

I'm not sure how I feel about that interview. It didn't really feel like he was scoring political points or creating leverage, felt more like a resigned shrug. And yet, it wasn't anger or posturing or anything else that indicated he was even close to walking out. Seems like all-in-all, he's coming to terms with being resigned to a long-slog this season and mentally preparing us all for that, including himself.

With all this talk about not getting TV money until next year, it makes perfect sense to be doing as many "loan this year, pay next year" moves as possible. Brilliant stuff.

Colback shot?

 

By who?

Shocking by Vardy there

So stupid by Nasri to get himself in that position, and Vardy is such a diving prick. Awful, but ref had no choice

Darlow really is a very good shot stopper, he's had a good half

 

Pretty sure that went over the bar by itself, like.

Ha yea, the moment just reminded me that he's had a good half

Darlow really is a very good shot stopper, he's had a good half

That's both great effort and a hell of a finish from that angle. Fuck yea

Fuck, that looks nasty on Torres. Out cold when he went for a header.

 

Atleti confirm serve head trauma on Twitter:

 

@Torres suffers a traumatic brain injury. He was transferred to the hospital for testing. He will spend the night under observation.

 

The reaction of all the other players on the pitch said it all. Scary stuff, clearly something pretty terrible

Fuck yea

We deserve the goal.

 

That's debatable tbh.

Fair, but I think it's fair to say this game deserves to be tied. Not like Brighton have done much of anything either, apart from a few volleys

that is the most hilarious goal I've ever seen. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ahhhhhhhhhhhh so close
