Post Match Brighton 1 Leicester 1

Quote from Maddison

Haven't seen the dive.

However, in general, if you know a player is going to kick you and you know it will hurt so you jump out of the way, does that constitute 'simulation' ?

He dived and is trying to justify it. It was a pathetic and annoying effort and he cheated.

I have him 5.9 out of 6.0 for it. He only lost .1 due to the lack of pike.

I’d recommend watching it. I get what you’re trying to say, but this isn’t an example of it.

It's one of the worst, most pathetic dives I've ever seen

"Anticipating contact that never came" is a load of old cobblers. If you're going to stand up and apologise (which he should), just be honest and say you deliberately tried to con the ref.

If the player makes a tackle and jumping to avoid it causes you to go over then it’s not a dive this wasn’t a case of that

If you look at the penalty we were given, Nacho man does just that

It looks like we are going to finish off mid table NOT MUCH TALK ABOUT THE MANAGER NOW /WHY?

Before our game today, on sky sports news, Geoff Stelling asked Paul Merson about Leicester City.
Merson said that they should be given a free ride until the New Year, after everything they have been through. [or words to that effect]

I fully agree with Merse, it appears others are not so in agreement!

I have to disagree. Yes it has had a massive effect on the players but they still have a job to do. If we stop playing we will be dragged into another relegation fight. If players don't feel like they can play it's fine but there still needs to be accountability if things go wrong especially with Puel because we haven't played well and won all season even before the tragic event with Vichai

What the feck are you on about ?

A. We're not even half way through the season FFS
B. There's plenty of talk about him, every single week

• Brighton have lost just one of their last nine home Premier League games (W4 D4).
• Since the start of last season, Leicester have both scored and conceded in a league-high 33 different Premier League games.
• Brighton’s Glenn Murray made his 100th Premier League appearance today. At 35y 60d, he's the ninth oldest outfield player to reach the milestone in the competition.
• No English player has scored more goals in Europe’s big five leagues this season than Brighton’s Glenn Murray (7).
• Brighton defensive duo Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy both made their 50th Premier League appearances in this game, with only goalkeeper Mat Ryan (51) lining out more often for the club in the competition.
• Leicester have picked up four red cards in the Premier League this season, twice as many as any other side.
• Jamie Vardy ended a run of 468 Premier League minutes without scoring for Leicester, since netting another penalty against Newcastle in September.
• Since his Premier League debut in August 2014, Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored 12 penalty goals, a figure only Sergio Aguero (17) and Harry Kane (16) can better in that period.

That last stat is quite stunning considering he wasn't the first choice penalty taker for some time.

If you'd have posted that before the game, I'd have bet on both teams to score, with Murray scoring for them, a Vardy penalty for us and a red card for us. You owe all of us a lot of money.

Still a game we should be winning IMO, not sure if it is me but we are not performing near what we should be. The jury is still out with Maddison I hope we did not buy a show pony we need a quality striker in Jan or another quality punt like Vardy
