Kid Icarus Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 1 minute ago, LFEE said: Yes but once players realise they will just be injuring each other rather than gaining free kicks they will stop. Refs just need to let it play out for a few months. No challenge today has been particularly bad. Mitoma still on the pitch and playing uninjured. Not sure what was up with Martinelli but the Caicedo tackle was harmless. I don't understand your line of thinking here. So far all that's happening is that challenges are escalating, players aren't thinking they shouldn't go in hard because they'll injure a player, they're going in knowing they're less likely to be punished for it. That challenge on Mitoma was horrible man Him staying on doesn't change that. Shearer stayed on after Justin Whittle elbowed him. Martinelli was injured by a bad tackle, but it was clearly in retaliation to him doing Mitoma and the ref letting it go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 What I like about Brighton is their bravery to play through tight lines from the back. Was expecting us to be doing more of this via Botman but he seems to of lost his confidence to do so. Think Targett instead of Burn would help with this. Guessing with Bruno being unable to turn so much on his ankle for half the season when receiving it probably hasn’t helped either. They will give us chances as well as create us problems though. Should be a lively and nervy game Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're really fucking good. Didn’t we underperform our XG for large portions of the season? Brighton are very good but they do have weaknesses.

Shearer had a bust face. Totally different. Caicedo hardly touches Martinelli. It’s how he falls that probably caused him the problem. Let’s see how the game pans out 2nd half and we can come back to the debate ?? I predict it will simmer out and hopefully a good flowing game of football if he refs it the same way.

I don't know where we are across the whole season, but I think I am right in saying that Brighton are notably below. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
