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

[macbeth]

easiest save of the night and somehow steele still manages to spill it

Barco looks a baller

He really is. Got bit of Mac Allister's steel about him

 

[A1X]

Going full clown again

 

[um bongo molongo]

Who took the corner for the Dunk header, was it Barco. because that was really good?

Definitely. Because I said at the time ‘that’s by far the best corner delivery all season’

 

[RandyWanger]

Oh shit he made a save. Spilled it out but made a save. The games turning in our favour

 

[AlbionBro]

Data doesn’t lie

It does, Steele did make a save in the first half.

Handball

Clear & obvious

 

[maltaseagull]

Ball hits his wrist which is held up but that is a natural position?

 

[Zeberdi]

Er, the Gross penalty was clear and obvious

I was being sarcastic - VAR obviously thought it wasn’t and have intervened all season for non-clear and obvious when they should have left it to the Refs!

I'm going to put this out there......Palace last night, turning over Newcastle. Fantastic. Everton vs Liverpool. Amazing. In comparison, tonight's effort so far has been really, really poor. Yeah, Citeh are great, but put the effort in FFS.

But Palace have their pacey playmakers back, ours are still crocked. We did play well first 20 but fates conspired against us

On the whole mid table is a fine achievement this season . No problem there .
But we are dog sh*t at the moment .
I worry for next season , going by recent performances .

Yes but the team will be transformed by signings. We need 6 or 7 20 million ones - probs 4 will work out - then De Zerbi can compete at this level. I think he was let down by the board in January - we knew the scale of the injuries by then

After seeing the one not given against Young in the Everton v Nottingham Forest game, I don’t think there’s any handball anymore

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.

Was a great manager when he had a great team. Has done nothing to motivate or lead a team struggling with injuries and poor form. In fact he’s done the opposite and blamed anything and everyone but himself. Hes looked totally average for months. Let’s not forget he was dominated tactically by De Rossi, who’s in his first job as a manager.

 

[Invicta]

We were always going to lose, but the ref is taking away any uncertainty

 

[A1X]

Er, the Gross penalty was clear and obvious

It was outside the box

 

[oldboyroy]

4 and easy

 

[MTSeagulls]

#together seems to have gone

 

[Ethelwulf]

That is school boy stuff

 

[Steve in Japan]

Fizzling out v fast now. On the beach.
