Ben Mee
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2022 8:14 am
I can’t see anything regarding Ben and his injury. Although as a team we were not at our best last night I thought we really missed him second half. Just hoping he’ll be okay for Saturday.

Two unnecessary challenges from Daka probably caused the stud marks. Both happened after he'd suffered the original injury.2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:37 amOn TV you could see two stud marks on the front of his leg, running from his knee down to his ankle.
This is what happens when they use sanitary towels for shin pads. Their careers are based on their legs and no modern players seem bothered about protecting them.2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:37 amOn TV you could see two stud marks on the front of his leg, running from his knee down to his ankle.
You can see the stud marks clearly on this photograph.2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 9:37 amOn TV you could see two stud marks on the front of his leg, running from his knee down to his ankle.
Can’t actually recall the foul. Was it a bad one or just an accident? Did VAR check?gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 10:53 amYou can see the stud marks clearly on this photograph.

No foul for the injury but two poor challenges after that from Daka which will have caused the stud marks. On the basis that Kavanagh couldn't tell a throw in from a spot kick on Tuesday, nothing was ever going to be given.
Given Everton's indignance at this ref and getting an apology from Mike Riley (I think), would it be appropriate for Burnley to put a similar request letter of complaint in?ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 11:19 amNo foul for the injury but two poor challenges after that from Daka which will have caused the stud marks.

Exactly. Unfortunately we don’t have the media knowledge to make a noise like Everton did. There have also been other incidents this season when we should have been screaming from the rooftops. Does this media noise influence the refs - I think the answer is pretty obviousGoddy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 11:36 amGiven Everton's indignance at this ref and getting an apology from Mike Riley (I think), would it be appropriate for Burnley to put a similar request letter of complaint in?
Whilst I'm not naive enough to think it'll make any difference to us, in particular, the fact that the fans and (from SDs comments) the management team were united in condemnation of Kavanagh's performance, surely more pressure should be brought to bear on this what seems to be, incompetent ref?
Yes... that's it. It looked worse on TV. He was pulling his socks down to show the substitutes the damage.gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 10:53 amYou can see the stud marks clearly on this photograph.

Would agree with this, save him for Brentford, if there's any doubt regarding the Chelsea game.Burnleyareback2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 8:18 amHe came out for the 2nd half and sat in the directors box- seemed to be moving ok.
I’d be fine with him missing this Saturday but we really need him for Brentford.
Agree to a point, but I do think Collins looks more comfortable alongside Mee than Tarks (who tends to concentrate on his own game).Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 1:33 pmI would rather Collins plays against Lukaku if I'm honest.

Collins might be able to match him physically.
As much as I have been impressed with Collins, and I think he’ll be a great player for us, I actually think he gets shrugged off the ball quite easily. There’s been a few times when he’s played that smaller forwards have given him a nudge and he’s been knocked over. He reminds me a bit of when Keane first broke into the team in that he was very tall and slim. Keane bulked up a lot in his second season, Collins will probably be similar.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 1:33 pmI would rather Collins plays against Lukaku if I'm honest.

Yes but I just wonder would Leicester have scored their first goal had Ben Mee been there? We were pretty static as the lumped clearance went to Vardy.warksclaret wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 2:53 pmOn Tuesday when Ben came off I had no worries at all about Collins deputising. We would struggle to get anyone better to step in for our two regulars-and he will get better
You can't say for sure if someone would do anything different but if you re-watch the goal.
Collins coming in for Mee weakens us in two positions as Tarks is far less reliable on the left. Wasn’t it his underhit left footed pass which conceded possession for Leicester’s second? (I haven’t brought myself to watch the goals back!)Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 1:33 pmI would rather Collins plays against Lukaku if I'm honest.

We had enough players back in position to stop the 2nd. We just let Vardy run off Tarky in between Taylor. It's our style to not man mark so it will happen from time to time.
