Mintehs 1st touch is further than I can kick a balll

Brighton playing with some urgency to try to get back in this now. 3-1 down and probably too much to do, but here’s hoping.

Sesko is plodding useless.

Good hit that by Kadioglu.

Minteh is having a mare atm

Good defending from Milly

Oh hello hello.

That’s the worst I’ve seen a side defend a corner this season, LOL.

Brighton get a late (deserved) equaliser here and I’m going head first out the window.

Absolutely no less than they deserve.

Mbeumo, is the only player I would consider from Man U

Terrible from Milner.

I thought PL banned using towels to dry the ball for throw-in (rule implemented for the 2023/24 season…unless there are agreements between the teams before the match), and I also read that during the recent Newcastle vs Arsenal match, Calafori was warned by the ref for doing such.

So, why aren’t our coaching staff complained to the refs about the oppositions using towels to dry off the ball before throw-ins, such as today’s match at Brentford (or other matches that I remember the other team used the long throw weapon)? Are LFC coaching staff so dense that knowing the oppositions like to use long throws, and we agree to let them use the towels to dry the ball to provide better grip?

I have been shouting at the TV (like an old man shouting at the sky) when there’re nothing being done by the ref or our coaching staff.

Edit: Article added for EFL…but I thought it was also applicable to EPL.

Presumably we agreed to it? Seems a bit daft if we know they use a long throw tactic.

Maybe Slot fancies a pay out :see_no_evil_monkey:

I am really really trying to not over react, but everything is so disconnected. We are struggling we are being told because we’re facing more direct football in the past. We have an option open to us to mitigate the threat of sides who are good at long throws (refusing to allow them to dry the ball) and chose not to. We then concede goals directly from long throws we didnt deal well with against Palace and Brentford that were taken by players who used a towel to dry the ball before launching it.

Arsenal’s title.

Congrats

Arsenal will win it on 75 points at this rate, like last season there’s just no one else competing.

Villa are picking City apart with ease. Without Rodri and a prime KDB, they’re a rank average side.
