Rodger Wylde Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I think I must be missing something. The David Luiz foul last night that brought about the penalty and sending off. It seems he's (Luiz) managed to pull the wool over most peoples eyes with his 'accidental' foul. He's done it loads of times, as have many players - make it look like you're trying to get out of the way of a players trailing legs but managing to get the slightest of touches on them to make sure they fall over. It's a dark art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dark art! I think that;'s true. Defenders run across the back of attackers hoping that a touch looks accidental and/or puts the attacker off DL does it a lot, plus he has a reputation (remember the laughing at the corner flag at Old Trafford) And yet refs seem mostly to be wise to it these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Liverpool 3 years unbeaten at home and now lost two on bounce to Burnley and Brighton. Is that now the PL sorted with regards to the relegation spots and the title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Liverpool losing at home to Brighton. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) And West Ham win again! Now 2 points behind the scousers with same games gone. Moyes playing an absolute blinder. Edited February 3, 2021 by owls maniac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I know Liverpool have had some bad injuries...but my christ they are playing so bad at Anfield right now. It's so ponderous. They just get it out wide, lump it into the box or hope that Salah can do something magical. The moment anyone sits in against them and gets organised, they don't have a clue how to break them down. Brighton thoroughly deserved that win tonight. They were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Potter is the best manager away from the top 5 or 6 in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I wonder what the odds were for 5 away wins in the PL last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hughton got them to 40 points and 15th in his first season with them in the PL, Potter managed 1 more point with the same league position last season. Not sure what makes him stand out.

My opinion was based around work he had done previously too.

He had a pretty average season at Swansea and is talked of highly for his style of football at Brighton but the end of the day, Hughton finished 15th and 17th with an FA Cup semi-final, since he left they have finished 15th and I'd be surprised if they do better than that this season. Hardly significant improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 All this talk of Burnley, Brighton, Newcastle. Still not passed West Brom or Fulham yet. The former should happen the latter have put in some decent performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmontonowl Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think Fulham have a chance of stopping up. WBA no chance, Pigs have left themselves too much to do Newcastle are scraping results and despite beating Liverpool, Burnley have generally lost their mojo, maybe because of the takeover shennenigens. If Brighton can dig in like they did against Liverpool they should be able to save themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something going on in the background, maybe it's do with the deal done with Real Madrid. It's weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0wl18 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Mike Dean showing a prime example of how out of touch with the game referees are. He was looking at the incident before he even looked at VAR. VAR clearly shows Dean’s direction of vision. how can it take him 4 minutes to decide that’s a red card? You look at it once and it’s enough to know it isn’t! Edited February 6, 2021 by 0wl18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
