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

[The Fits]

Let's not bury the team. They're playing to a system which isn't working.

Amen.
It's RDZ that is having a mare this season.
We don't have the players to play his style this season. He needed to be at least slightly more pragmatic. He failed that test.

I hate this ref. Doesn't referee what he sees but what he thinks he sees.

You mean which club badge he sees

What hopes he sees

gillette what an absolute tosser

Not the best a man can get then

Amazing that it's a foul by Adingra but not on Gross.

 

[RandyWanger]

Barco looks a baller

 

[Invicta]

Ref having a blinder, no clear or obvious errors. He's keeping the title race open single handedly!

 

[Zeberdi]

VAR now apparently only intervening in ‘clear and obvious errors’ - who knew they would suddenly start using VAR properly in a Brighton v Citeh match

Not sure how that can be given as offside. Doesn't it have to be played by a Brighton player for Brighton to be given offside?

 

[The Fits]

Playing against one of the best teams in the world and the ref is a bit much.

 

[RandyWanger]

Play advantage when we’ve kicked the ball back in our own half?

Er, the Gross penalty was clear and obvious

 

[Littlemo]

Barco as a winger, looking forward to seeing him on the wing

 

[Mike Small]

He's been a good manager for the first season and a bit, but he's not the best we've ever had. Most managers come in to a club becuase the previous man has been sacked, which usually means the team needs an overhaul. RDZ came when the team was absolutely flying and all he had to do was keep the momentum going. He's been tested this season and failure to be a versatile and have a Plan B is showing.

I cannot believe that I watched my team who I watched at Priestfield absolutely destroy Liverpool (twice), title chasing Arsenal away and completely outplay United on 3 occasions in 8 months. This year we did well in Europe too. Europe. He's been absolutely brilliant and on another level to that History teacher Potter. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think he's the man to revive us next year right now. I hope TB gets this right.

 

[BevBHA]

Baleba plays like someone is controlling him on fifa and keeps pressing the wrong buttons

 

[BBassic]

Tug of the shirt not punished either. Ref is a joke

 

[RandyWanger]

Handball

Not against City. Apparently.

 

[Zeberdi]

Barco moved up to central MF - RDZ unleashing the inner attacking Barco

What hopes he sees

What he thinks he's supposed to see.
