[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

How City ended up 20+ points behind Liverpool in this division I'll never know. They're far more of a class act IMHO

There is no drive, no spark, can’t see it coming. Lamptey gives us that, it’s what we’ve lacked going forward. Can MacAllister play CM with Bissouma ? Would like to see that. Connelly is better playing off another striker, so bring Maupay on for Gross. Lamptey on for Montoya and MacAllister on for Propper.

Our midfield...

Match threads really are the pits.

I’m sorry to say it, but is it crazy to suggest Ryan can do better with both these goals?

Would you not be better off switching to support City? You would not have anything to worry about then.

Wow. No criticism allowed guys, pack up NSC.

You realise that all fans for all clubs have opinions on the players of their teams right?

 

[elwheelio]

Short memory you have....Liverpool last week...

Absolute rubbish. He was nowhere near as bad as Propper has been tonight.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I believe I may have suggested in the past that Bernardo was a decent option at left back and should play ahead of Dan Burn.

Please accept my apologies. I don't obviously know what I'm talking about.

 

[vagabond]

Why do certain people make such bizarre comments whenever anyone criticises Ryan? Should he be immune from criticism because he’s popular with most of the fans?

I’m a massive fan of Ryan, but even I think there’s been some questionable keeping since the restart.

Lucky this is a free hit.

 

[The Wizard]

Montoya frustrates the life out of me. Seldom tight enough to his man.

He simply can’t defend, it’s his positioning that lets him down so badly, it’s not just against Man City or United either.

 

[wolfie]

i would bring on Glenn and go long.

Half time. Chance for us to regroup – and for Alan Smith to try and wipe some of the jizz off his trousers.

Still can’t believe we started the day with a plus 8 goal difference over the Hammers and we’re now in danger of going negative lol

Its only 2-0, about par for the course at this stage at least against City for teams in our position the vast majority of the time. You really can't believe it?

 

[zefarelly]

AJ needs to come on, he bossed Walker in the FA SF . . . . Has the ability to be a proper pain in the arse

Pace will help us. . . .

Connolly off too. But please not for Murray!

We're hideously outclassed, it'd no ones fault . . .damage limitation and hopefully a goal to keep spirits up.

 

[El Turi]

Completely outclassed but it’s to be expected against a side that has cost billions to put together. I can’t help thinking the Premier League would be a better place if Man City didn’t have their oil money.

Need a proper leader like Jonjo Shelvey in there

I don't get the hatred of Smith. he's pretty much described the situation accurately. He's not be as anti-Brighton as some of our own fans.

One thing is for sure: it won't happen again!
