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

[Justice]

Who would you like in, at our SMALL club, as you put it?

Dyche?

why slag of Dyche he got his team up to beat Liverpool last night. An enjoyable game tbf.

 

[portlock seagull]

Do PGMOL still give out apologies, or does it take up to much time nowadays

We’ve had our three. You’re not allowed more than that or it makes them look TOTALLY incompetent

 

[Napper]

Relegation odds next season ?

 

[AlbionBro]

Neither would Hughton ffs why mention Potter?

On a scale of park the bus managers Potter would sit between RDZ and Hughton. We have a squad good enough to take City on Potter style, but I wouldn't go the full Hughton or RDZ, both would be too risky if you ask me.

Relegation odds next season ?

Hard to predict until we know who the new manager is and new players are

Slag off? When did I slag him off.

When did you start the #Singe Dyche movement?

Relegation odds next season ?

Even odds

 

[Yoda]

I agree some team selections pathetic. He has learned nothing from Rome away.

What the he'll do you expect with 7-11 injuries for most of this season?

 

[razer]

He will never win a title in one of the big five leagues. His way of playing wont hold for 30+ games. He might win a domestic cup if he’s lucky in 5-6 games.

And yet City, Champions of Europe, multiple cup winners and who are on their way to a 4th successive PL title, play in an almost identical fashion, just with better quality players.

Don't write him off just yet.

 

[Flounce]

With Caicedo, Ali Mac, Mitoma and March, sure you go toe to toe with City and other top teams. With the players available at the moment it is arrogant and stupid to play that way. RDZ doesn’t do pragmatic so if he can’t adjust his tactics to the players at his disposal he needs to go…imo

 

[Del Fenner]

Oh well, at least Southgate got to run his tape-measure over Dunk tonight.

 

[Littlemo]

Because what about all the other games this season where Everton looked like they couldn’t be f***ed? He’s a dreadful manager.

 

[Albion my Albion]

CH+GPot=-(RDZ)

 

[GT49er]

Neither would Hughton ffs why mention Potter?

Why mention Hughton then?

 

[Eric the meek]

Both can be true can't they? The ref gave them absolutely everything and City were clearly the better team

If we always blame the ref, then we have no chance of improving the result next season, because the cause, and therefore the solution to our performance and result, is deemed outside of our control.

If we think the outcome is outside of our control, then we won't work to improve on it.

 

[The Fits]

What the he'll do you expect with 7-11 injuries for most of this season?

As I keep saying, there's no reason to suggest injuries will get better. Simply no logic in that. Only variant will be who gets injured.

 

[Zeberdi]

Nope, neither were pens imo

You completely trash our team yet can’t even see that the second foul in the box by Gvardiol warranted even a VAR intervention? Seems very selective analysis of the night’s performance if you don’t mind me saying so I’m not blaming the refs for us losing but we were at the wrong end of some flawed decisions which certainly didn’t help..

 

[Mancgull]

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. The Hughton style of playing to mitigate a thrashing is no way to play. We try and play a high risk, possession style game, but against City they are the masters of it.
We kept going and played our style with a depleted team and with a couple of decisions going against us. No lack of effort.
It’s how we play against Bournemouth that will be a better barometer of where we are at present.

 

[nwgull]

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.

We outplayed Utd earlier this season, certainly, but let’s be honest, the cup semi-final and the late 1-0 home win were 50/50s.

 

[Oh_aye]

How’s the fire drill?

I was out on 78. Still a massive queue for the train.
