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

[The Fits]

Gone. f***ing livid. No plan b, ponderous. Too much f***ing about. Officials killing the game. FA ruining my love for football.

Football is ruining football.

Barco going to be a big plus for us, unless he goes to Chelsea, obs.

Man city's biggest away win for 2 years .....FML

 

[Blues Guitarist]

4 big decisions in City favour. Foden fall over free kick, two clear penalties, and a handball that would have been given as a penalty if it was Dunk (see Luton game). Yes, City are a great team, but with biased refereeing like this the League is a joke.

 

[Mancgull]

Poor ref, but made no difference.
I liked the look of Barco. Didn’t hide after his mistake. Kept wanting the ball and kept going.

 

[kjgood]

Outplayed by a good team, ref and var invited to the city players championship winning party.

f*** off RDZ, you don’t go toe to toe with the top teams when you are a SMALL club with a ridiculous injury list. Naive in the extreme and setting yourself up for a stuffing. He needs to move on to a club who can play his way with the players to do it.

 

[American Seagle]

Football is easy when you cheat and ignore all the financial rules isn't it?

 

[AlbionBro]

??

Sorry, I was agreeing with you , but being sarcastic regarding some scandalous putting down of some of the Albions players, from frustrated, shoot from the hip posters.

Getting sacked in the morning...

He hasn't earned a big team. Rubbish again.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

On the positive side despite everything, Pedro looks like he's back

Plus Kevin De Bruyne's first ever headed goal in his PL career.

Let’s not get carried away Ferguson was meant to be the man to at 19. £100m and off the Manure. Encouraging though and at least gets a good corner in.

 

[Mackenzie]

Barco was good at times, good corners. Offiah looked alright when he came on, hopefully the durable right back we've missed this season, looked quick too. I thought we were a bit unlucky not to get one of those penalties and Foden's first goal came from a referee's mistake. but no complaints about the result, Manchester City have better players and played better than us.

Bit disappointing but who likes losing?

Alvarez first goal in 8.
We are a gift.

 

[Eric the meek]

People need to stop blaming the ref, and/or shouting 'fix'. It's embarrassing and tin pot.

We lost fair and square to a great team.

The manager takes the blame for the size of the defeat, we offered nothing going forward and were lucky to get away with 0-4 imo

Do leave off.

That was a great display second half.

I'd rather we play football against the best than go full Sheffield United, ten men behind the ball. We need to practice what we can do to win rather than practice eking out the 37 points needed to stay up.

I agree he got it wrong, Potter would not have done that. But he doesn't need to go anywhere, just learn from it. He is over positive and he seems to struggle with doing anything that one could deem to be negative.
