Agree with most of the comments about the Brighton game but just have to say something about Marcal. I really wish he wouldn't roll around and throw himself to the ground so much (it's embarrassing and if he was an opposition player doing it at the Molineux our fans would be going absolutely nuts).
One incident in particular really riled me when Lallana accidentally caught him around the eye socket area with his hand and he went down flat out and then got up clutching his eye and gesticulating as if he'd been shot, now I know a poke in the eye is painful but I've never felt the need to roll around on the ground as a result of one.

Have to say, I discussed this with a few friends he does seem to go down way to easily, with his injury record it is also a question.
Seems to be looking for it, and I wonder if his feigning injury costs us with him being out of position.
No doubt you have to play the ref the same as all, and I mean all especially the so called top 6 do, but there is a line.

Poor man's Neymar but he did a good job at Brighton and if RAN hadn't put in the excellent performances he has lately he'd be playing every week. Except when he's hurt himself rolling over of course!

It was the bit when he ran in to one of the Brighton players and looked to have injured himself that made me laugh. His play was good and I felt he was more likely than RAN to pick out someone in the box. But the looking for fouls was a bit much.

I commented on his theatrics in my ratings post. Not sure he will " get away" with it with every ref.
But he is a v solid defender. With RAN and Otto (hopefully) we are v well stocked at LB/LWB
