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

So if that stat about them only having six shots on target against them in the league all season is really true, we've just notched up half that tally all ready.
I'm still not convinced that original stat is really true.

Who's dirty?

 

[maltaseagull]

Maupay off?!!!

Who saw that coming?! [emoji23]

Well almost every pass'to him in their area has been poor.
March did great and then crossed 2 yards behind him!

Solly playing centre forward in his magical mystery tour of the Albion formation

 

[Swansman]

I ge that and maybe I’ve got too much faith in the players and manager but I think we’re better than this. Too many players off their game IMO including the usually dependable Sanchez and Dunk.

probably

 

[Pevenseagull]

Have to say I'm quite enjoying this half

 

[1066familyman]

Well we've had 3 shots on target against them, apparently they'd only had 6 against them all season before this game. Puts it into perspective somewhat

Beat me to it. Although I'm still not convinced on the stats. We've never been in this game at any point, yet already had three shots on target.
I call bollox on the original stat.

 

[BN41Albion]

No.

Just a solid defensive set up with enough numbers back in support at ALL times, freeing up the others to do what they do best.

We’d still likely lose, but we’d have a chance.

What's been frustrating tonight is that GP has often set up really well v the big boys which has led to a decent game to watch, even if we've usually still ended up losing. He's got it wrong tonight. Can't believe he changed a defence which has conceded 5 goals v the best team in the league. Obviously Bissouma missing is a huge loss in games like this, too,though.

Sensible, not getting anything from this game and we need to protect him. Makes all the suck ups who said we didn't need a striker in the summer look as clueless as they most certainly are

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Please can Gross stop taking corners!!

 

[1066familyman]

FOUR shots on target now.

 

[paulfuzz]

anyone else reckon Jocob is/could be the new Lallana?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Mwepu has done some lovely things so far. Some quality touches.

 

[The Fits]

Much better really

11 saves according to here - plus a lot of blocks

 

[maltaseagull]

Please can Gross be replaced with Bissouma!

Edited for you

 

[Swansman]

Come on boys EASY 4-3 win now please

 

[Seagull27]

God we've missed lamptey

 

[1066familyman]

Lamptey!

Oh yeah doing real poorly without a striker on the pitch
