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

[Hendrax]

the most pointless goal kick ever

 

[JBizzle]

Not going to end 11-a-side is it.

I'd be shocked if it did... Hoops loves his cards today

 

[Si Gull]

Not going to end 11-a-side is it.

Poor reffing. Too many soft yellows early on.

Yellow for Baleba - Doku had no need to go down at all there. Watching the PSG/Liverpool game during the week I noticed how often players just carried on in that situation instead of making a meal of it like that.

Would get Baleba off at half time. He won’t last the game without pulling someone back again

I'd say Van Hecke made him miss the target. Brilliant defence!

He'll earn himself another lecture from Pep at this rate.

Bit of a let off there, they cut through us like a hot knife through butter

 

[Hendrax]

blimey, they carved us open there.

 

[oldboyroy]

We're doing OK. Certainly matching them

 

[Bridcutt]

Nico Gonzalez two fouls. One that lead to our goal outside their box and on Pedro there. No yellow

 

[RandyWanger]

Minteh close there

 

[Albion my Albion]

Minteh was a bit off there.

 

[Si Gull]

We're doing OK.

Not much in it. We need to tighten up in defence, otherwise all good.

 

[oldboyroy]

Minteh close there

Not far off

 

[WhingForPresident]

Minteh is on it today

 

[US Seagull]

The shot wasn't there, but I loved Minteh running through City's defence like that.

 

[fruitnveg]

Toe to toe with current champions, even if they are off it a bit this year. Not much beside the bald c**t in the middle, to complain about.

 

[dolphins]

Balls. 2-1.

 

[RandyWanger]

ah gash...

 

[Albion my Albion]

Almost all the Citeh shots seem to be going towards the left corner.

Except that last one.
