Igor Thiago (11 Viewers)

I just want to comment on all the people talking about his "poor form". He's underperforming his xG by a bit, but considering he missed a pen...that's not terrible. And his overperforming his xA.

And, remember, if he gets into position but the ball doesn't reach him for whatever reason...that's no xG. Milenkovic's OG would have been a tap in for IT if it had got past.

His assist against Hull...just before he assisted, if the ball had reached him, he'd have had a high xG chance.

He's down on goals partly because we're down on goals. But he's doing well. Not incredibly, but well. I perfectly expect him to get 15+ goals this season, and another 5+ assists. Don't write him off.

We're up on goals (minor point). I guess that shows that this year we're less reliant on his goals alone, although he had only scored 4 outfield goals at this point last season (2 more). Take into account though, he has two assists in these first 9 games whereas last year, he only had 1 all season. All maybe a sign of tighter marking but him still contributing effectively over all.

Agreed, we have eight yes eight other goalscorers in the EPL, there can be no doubt that whilst Igor is down on goals his contribution to the team is undeniable. Others benefit from the space created by his presence in danger areas and he pulls defenders away to allow others their chances. We would really miss him if he got injured. Fact

 

[Freebee]

The only downside to being 2nd top scorer in the EPL last season is that he set the benchmark so high.

It's unrealistic but not impossible to do that again this time around but people need to lower their expectations. Other clubs know what to expect this year.He's being shackled by their CB's a lot more but because of that opportunities are coming for others instead.

We needed the goals to be shared around and not rely on him and he'll get his fair share too.

I've re-signed him on FPL.

I would like to take this opportunity to publically apologise to Igor and to everyone.

T**t

 

[JosephBFC]

The complete stupidity and lack of discipline was disappointing enough. To walk off the pitch laughing, shameful

 

[unBEEliveable]

Absolute idiot for that

I sure he is laughing at the state of the modern game and you’d have to agree. However, dealing with the situation in front of you, it’s a silly red.

 

[22329]

Keep backing him!

 

[w7 bee]

No footie now until 05/12

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

That's twice this season, we've been suckered into a red card

 

[BFC1997]

I struggle to blame him for lashing out. His treatment by officials has been a joke and until this change this is inevitable

 

[CattedownBee]

Don’t think he’s done much wrong tbh certainly didn’t look intentional, very harsh red I can see why he’s laughing. Gets absolutely nothing from the refs should have had a free kick

 

[GABS]

Much like Yarmo, don't give the ref / VAR anything to look at and no problem. Silly boy.

Fans and players alike, we all know how sh*te the rules are currently.

 

[CTBee]

Think he tries to push the guy away with his arm and it bounces up into the opponent's face.

A bit unlucky IMO and not the forearm smash that Matt Upson is describing it as.

 

[badgerbee]

Can't you see he's laughing at the pathetic decision??!!

 

[bognor bees]

The stats may point to some of the good things he's done so far this season.
He's been poor though.

 

[JumboJet]

Rules are rules….play to them and you don't get a straight red card. There was no need for him to lash out, the other guy got a yellow, and has now ‘won’, because Thiago unnecessarily overreacted.

 

[Hullbee]

Don’t be daft man

 

[hanworthbee]

That reaction sums Thiagos season up so far...pretty sh*t. 3 games out and will come back get another card and it'll be another ban

 

[aawharris]

He pushes the bloke away with his arm, it slides off into his neck.
The bloke goes down like he is dead - of course he does, its par for the course now.
No violent conduct, no attempt to hit somebodies face and basically a disgusting decision to send him off

this sounds a bit like how YY didn't really head butt him he just leant into him and accidentally knocked his head

The guy had a cut lip afterwards so it definitely didn't hit his neck. However no chance that he meant to strike him in the face rather than trying to push him away so probably not a red.

Which was exactly what happened....

So the cheat couldnt possibly has bitten his lip with his triple salco dive?

Don’t be daft man

I can assure you I’m not

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Today, Thiago is an idiot. The players know that if you do what he did, then you run serious risk of trouble.

 

[finsbury_bee]

Him being out for a few games forces us to try something different. He’s been poor so far, so not necessarily a bad thing.

I have to disagree. Thiago was just about getting into his groove and scored goals. It's a big miss

Shame Furo is out.

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Let his teammates and the away fans down today just like Yarmoliuk did three weeks ago.

International break and then a three game ban means he won’t play again until December. Hopefully the next month unavailable does him a bit of good and allows him to get some energy and sharpness back because he’s been way off it for a lot of this season.

 

[BAGSHOTBEE]

he shouldnt have been so stupid then. Allowed himself to be mugged up.

 

[Mikey Bee]

I may be wrong but I thought the cut lip was on the other side of his face from the "impact". It was also nowhere near where he went down holding his head either...

Sadly, as soon as it was referred to VAR, the outcome was inevitable.

 

[Bigbee]

Anthony on left and Kev down the middle

 

[beeeehive]

They need to change the rules to where if the other player is the aggressor, you get a green pass to hit em

 

[w6bee]

Unfortunately so far the only prize Igor has been up for this season is the “Jonathan Douglas Hidden Work” award. Maybe the 3 games out will give him and the team a chance for a reset, as it means he gets a rest without damaging confidence and the club can try alternative options.

Top of the fair play table, you'll never sing that.

Luckily for most people with eyes, we can see that "hidden work" you so joyfully talk about.

 

[BFC1997]

I’ve watched it back and I’m thinking its actually quite a harsh decision, hardly the justified lashing out I was giving him credit for.

Definite play-acting involved by the Brighton man, who fouls him, and initiates the altercation with a push.

Honestly don’t believe this meets the threshold for violent conduct. Contrast with the attempted GBH from Pedro on Yarmo that time which went unpunished after review.

 

[w6bee]

Unfortunately the final delivery has not been at the levels he was performing to last season though and that is the measure that “uneducated “ eyes will judge him on. If he could do it then though I am sure he can repeat it.

Luckily uneducated eyes dont coach or own the club then

 

[costabees]

What an idiot, good riddance that he’s now out for 3 games. Wilson looked much better than him when he came on anyway.

I think the away fans were really happy with Yarmo's sending off

 

[TorbayBee]

Agree.
Play Dango or Wilson down the middle with Dams in midfield with Yarmo and Vitaly. Kev and Anthony out wide. Sangare to come on to sustain the energy. Its a winner COYB
