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

[Justice]

He’s supposed to be messing about at the back, it’s what RDZ wants the team to do.

There was no way we were getting out they had every angle covered just kick the f***ing thing

Another difficult watch

Feel a bit sorry for the person who bought my ST through the exchange...

We all knew 99% we would lose this but I'm confused at the gameplan. We're not pressing but we are running up to them and then stopping/not challenging. When we're being pressed we're trying to pass it around them instead of clearing it to Pedro/Welbeck if needed. It's just a bit strange?

 

[Mike Small]

Mistake by Barco really - a little panicky and losing possession in a really dangerous area - he’s is fighting hard though. Bit of a Baptism of Fire to start against Man City - love his confidence.

Agree. As opposed to the rest of them. Everyone absolutely awful bar JPVH and Welbeck.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Who lost the ball in their half ? No blame there its's always Steele's fault according to the fashionable "fans"

You think all this passing around our own box would happen with Bart in goal it’s painful watching

 

[Gabbiano]

Gross looks absolutely knackered.

And Veltman has been so clumsy of late.

The thing is we have so many talented players, all the ingredients are there for a great team... two years from now. Need some experience in, in the summer. Some 27-30 year olds who can cope with pressure.

£50 to watch us get pounded

 

[boik]

Palace would have a field day against us.......they've turned in to Real Madrid of late

Theyve got their best players back. I'd fancy us to beat them if we had our best players back.

Onlyfans?

 

[A1X]

Petition to walk out against Villa to the jingle from the “On The Beach” advert

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

City at this time of the season are pretty unplayable

 

[Ethelwulf]

go away.

Enjoying the prawn sarnies are we ?

 

[GoingUp]

City's keeper isn't afraid to smash the ball away but we have to p!ss around at the back.

 

[raymondo]

Bye bye Steele, your time is up........stop p^ssing about at the back and hoof the fecker up the field

But it's how RDZ demands we play, even against City... that's the main problem IMO

 

[Bodian]

Another difficult watch

Actually - now there's no tension, or fear of letting a lead (or even a point) slip or anything like that - I guess we can just sit back and watch City's football.

We all knew 99% we would lose this but I'm confused at the gameplan. We're not pressing but we are running up to them and then stopping/not challenging. When we're being pressed we're trying to pass it around them instead of clearing it to Pedro/Welbeck if needed. It's just a bit strange?

Because if we actually get anywhere near them, they'll get a free kick.

 

[Mike Small]

No wonder Pep thinks RDZ is so good!

I found that love in, in the tunnel, before the game unsettling. He's your opponent for the next 2 hours. What the f*** has happened to you? Our team have come out and not been at them at all.

 

[pb21]

Idiot

Bit harsh, they didn't know we'd be 3 down by half time.

 

[Littlemo]

Steele wasn’t the one who lost the ball, if there is a fault then it’s the players who should have given Barco a passing option.

Yes Steele could have done things differently, and yeah maybe could have punted it upfield. It doesn’t make everything his fault thought.

 

[maltaseagull]

We have been inviting pressure by slow play from the back. Potter did at least change things around rather than repeat the same errors over and over.
