In a league where "goals scored" is a thing, then 2-4 is better than 0-2. FACT!

True story. Felipe has been pants since he cut his hair.
We were dreadful in the first half. Should have been 3-3 in the second if Elanga had his shooting boots on. All of a sudden we were exposing the high line. Origi was excellent. Taiwo looks injured again.
Ooh for that cock up I think villa would have been vulnerable. We make far far too many mistakes.
We were good in the second half. First half was by far the worst under Nuno.
That Jacob Ramsey is a fucking good player though. What a lovely pass for Douglas Luis.
Emery is a knob though. He is such a hyberbolic twat. Would have been amazing if we had got something from that.
We are not useless. We just need to be more aggressive in the first half. McGinn was running things. He needed someone to kick him. (Missed you in the first half Ryan)
Aaaaaaagh.
On the plus side our goal difference still an improvement over poo-ton and bright-one managed to at least stop Ever-gone from the win. Cnuts.
Mom: Danilo or Origi.
Chicago: frustrated but looking at positives.

You were quiet last week.

If he was currently (not future potential but right now) as good as you claim then he wouldn't be playing for us.

Murillo gets picked every week not just because of his defending, but because he is better than any defensive player we have at passing the ball.
That's not to say he's not a good defender too, but he's 21, limited first team experience and he makes mistakes. However, he doesn't make more mistakes than Felipe, Boly, Worrall or Niakhate. He's very good by general standards and outstanding if you adjust for his age / experience. He may be the sale that keeps this club viable if we go down, because it will be for a lot and probably to one of Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. He could be to us what Maguire was to Leicester.

Maguire’s contact was more on the foot. No appeal is going to say it’s not a foul, so they won’t overrule the onfield decision. It’ll be a three match ban for sure - the appeal isn’t there to decide how violent the conduct was.

It seems yesterday's defeat is down to the manager getting it wrong. Against a team dependent on a right winger we don't play a left back and arguably don't adjust the center of midfield to counter theirs. But even saying that, we should have drawn the match.
The Gibbs White goal was quite lovely. -
I am not convinced Nuno made such a catastrophic error, because I'm not convinced Toffolo would have been a able to handle Bailey either. We were undone by a top 4 team.

I've had a close look at these this morning. Maguire's is a stretch from the side, mistimed, which catches him on the foot. Not a good tackle. Gilmor's is weight square on to the player, over the top of the ball, and planted in to the shin. A potential leg breaking shocker. For me, very different tackles.
As much as I like to point out how refs are shit, for me both got the decisions right for these. Maguires is a (potentially intentional - get a bit of something to stop his movement) mistimed yellow, Gilmour's is reckless and dangerous and a red (even though the ball is there to be won - just not like that).
I don't see many similarities between the two tackles...one is mistimed from the side, one is a dangerous follow through mostly over the top of the ball with weight transfer into the players leg.

The Premier League and FA websites are infuriatingly quiet on the procedure, but I don't think this is correct. Multiple sources that I can see from a few minutes of googling, including the PFSA, state that 3 games is the default guideline for serious foul play but this can be reviewed in either direction.
I hear Tricky's opinion but there is not a yellow card vs three match suspension gulf between those two tackles, IMO. I would be surprised if Brighton don't appeal - it definitely wouldn't be considered frivolous and thus the worst outcome for them is that the ban is upheld.

I hear your opinion...but you are wrong.
