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

[Eeyore]

Same old tippy-tappy bullshit with no end product. All our own doing so far, Veltman has been shite and Moder constantly out of position. We look ****ing useless

No. We are just getting pissed on by the best team on the planet.

And they look up for it as well.

 

[The Fits]

This is all very weird. Awful tactics and inept performance. You can say ‘it’s City’ but we beat them last year. Simply got it all wrong today, so far.

 

[oldboyroy]

This could be double figures if they carry on as they are

 

[TheRealist]

FFS!

 

[MaseBH]

Genuine question, why is Grealish being booed?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Groß and Lallana in the same team is a ****ing disaster.

 

[TSB]

Dull, average team finally gets found out when they remove their best defender (and play the best team in Europe)

 

[BBassic]

Utterly inept.

You don't expect a result against City but you at least expect an effort.

Been shit all over the pitch. Just shit.

 

[Weststander]

Savvy EPL teams ALWAYS leave defenders AND at least one DM back. Fact.

It’s basics. Against the likes of Citeh and Liverpool, never leave your half empty as a gift-rapped counter attacking present.

I thought Potter had grown out of that, that first season when he naively gifted Guardiola 6 points.

 

[RexCathedra]

At 6-0 it still wouldn't be the worst thrashing of the weekend...

Thanks, Norwich.

 

[maltaseagull]

It's amazing how quickly they punish our mistakes. Clinical.
We are being given a lesson here.
Hope we learn from it.

Like Pep said, we basically played them at the perfect time last season. First game back for fans, they were already champions. We are simply being battered by one of the best teams in the world.

 

[RM-Taylor]

So 2 errors from Sanchez and an own goal by Burn. This is going well after 35 minutes…

Edit: not that Burn could do anything about the own goal.

Against 10 men.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

We'd have to be one of the slowest teams in the PL.

Hardly any pace at all around the pitch.

 

[Mike Small]

So frustrated that Potter thinks it ok to not start Bissouma. If there was one opponent we needed him it’s tonight. Absolutely disgraceful. We’re in for a long autumn and winter with one fit forward. We’ll be better in the second half hopefully with s forward signing we’ll finish top 14. Yes I bloody love our club and manager and we’d lose tonight if Bissouma was playing, Just a waste of time tonight and dreadful for the people that are there. 1-3 tonight

 

[Durlston]

I've got money on us to win the League Cup so don't play the stiffs in midweek, Potter. You haven't earnt it this month. Pathetic.

 

[severnside gull]

Last week was something of a trailer for this. Desperately poor against the worst team in the league.
No better today against the best. Next week llikely to be equally grim.

If we can at least show some character and stop giving the ball away. Maybe win a tackle or two. Complete a pass in the final third…

 

[jabba]

My ambitions have been reduced to can we score 1 goal today? Seems like a long time since we've done so. Hope that's not too unrealistic.

 

[1066familyman]

Bit of a worrying trend going on here. Since Biss has been absent, we've looked a shadow of our former selves.
