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

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Emphatically correct, Dear Friend

 

[Justice]

Why mention Hughton then?

Different context. If I said FFS who do you want Pardew? What’s the message.

 

[Bodian]

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

'Slag of Dyche' sounds like some remote Scottish peninsula.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

100% nailed on two penalties waved away by the Aussie pillock.

The free kick goal insanely lucky.

The last goal, surely a foul on the keeper

I actually think the De Bruyne header was off the top of his head. Could have gone directly upwards for all he knew and it flew in the top corner.

Don't get me wrong City deserved the win. But that could have been very different

I'm embarrassed.

For the officials?

Sky said 2 penalties should have been given, free kick for 2nd goal was wrong, and 4th goal was probably foul on Steele.

Accurate

 

[Pliny the Gull]

For 2 seasons, win or lose, I can't remember saying that we were totally clueless. Even injuries aside, and we were playing the CITY. That was an appalling performance at home. I could have completed a sudoko by the time Steel released the ball when options were on. Back line didn't know what to do when they had the ball. Baleba should be told he can release the ball to a striker. RDZ should change a style of play depending on the game management needed. We made them look far better than they are . Massive disappointment. BARCO MotM.

Steele gets to the ball, then gets two footed for his efforts. They won't have even looked at it.

One team with half a team missing through Injury, the other assembled by cheating its way to the top. It'll be a good day when they finally get their comeuppance

The thing is RDZ is to arrogant even Arsenal didn’t take on City at their own game. With a patched up squad how the hell did he think we would ever compete trying to play the same way? Feel for the paying fans tonight who made the effort.

He isn't arrogant. He's an ideologue. He won't contemplate pragmatic adjustments for situations. This style of football is like his religion

A manager that can’t adapt will never be great. Ange will never win the league or a cup at Spurs for the same reason.

I guess we'll have to put up with less than great

 

[El Turi]

We look like a team that has given up for the season. Man City were miles better than us which made all the help the officials gave them seem completely unnecessary.

 

[American Seagle]

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

He is showing himself to be a limited manager.

 

[B-right-on]

Barco was immense tonight (for a vertically challenged lad).

That's all I'm going to say, otherwise I think the swear bot will go into meltdown.
