yoyo

The ball was rolling in and involuntarily brushed his shin. Ridiculous

Antonio offside for having final touch xD

But the ball came off a Brighton player before Antonio touched it?
How can that be an offside offence?

Yeoldhammer

our passing has been really poor, a lot of hoofball currently from us.

ScotHammer

That type of close call.Nobody can be sure on that, and so they should go with on field decision. Bad decision IMO.

Worrying when the VAR expert doesn't know the rules

MrsGrey

Do the refs actually know the laws of the game?

So, I've never been keen on the whole ' ref should explain decisions' line of argument. But..

This isn't about interpretation or judgement. It's fact.

Expat_Hammer

The FA agenda roles on, don't let the massive hammers break into the elite top four.

I think if you’re offside when our player touches it forward then it doesn’t matter if it takes a deflection off their player on the way through.

I’m still not 100% it touched him? And it was going in anyway, so ridiculous to suggest there was any kind of advantage.

The VAR instructions must be “ if there’s any way you can rule out a goal go for it”

Hamstew

Please get Benrahma off

Was it a deflection? Or did the Brighton player attempt to play it?

I'll check the guidance on your thoughts ( ie it doesn't matter that....)

They are threatening when they put their minds to it. We need to make a couple of changes.

Bring on Lingard.

Yeoldhammer

players look gassed soucek looks like he is completely out.

whupathman

arthur warming up why!!

Yeoldhammer

Big run from Bowen so close to a second

thornburyiron

We are settling for the point.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

We still look more threatening than them.

Also Rice is a joke of a footballer.

OldCastleSwift

Benrahma has been poor tonight. Even the simple passes aren't coming off.

whupathman

ooofff they should have scored

Yeoldhammer

Lallana should have scored, no one picking up Trossard who puts Lallana in.

yoyo

We've been below par but with 20 minutes left, Fab has hardly touched the ball

Yeoldhammer

Moyes needs to make a sub

OldCastleSwift

Wow. He was so open. Can't see us seeing this out without conceding.

thornburyiron

Sooner or later they will find their shooting boots. Every game now we leave players completely free in the box.

ScotHammer

Not sure what it is, but for some reason I dislike this Brighton team. They’re not good to watch.

Yeoldhammer

Masuaku and Lanzini coming on

Yeoldhammer

All Brighton at the moment

Yeoldhammer

Fornals and Benrahma off
Lanzini and Masuaku on
