Behind a paywall I know, but those who can read the DT match report….who did Citeh lose to exactly?!! It goes on about Citeh lost, Pep blamed xyz, Citeh have injuries, Citeh’s team is aging etc. It’s so one sided, we’re barely mentioned so just want to check - we did beat them didn’t we?

Manchester City lose fourth game in a row for first time under Pep Guardiola

There is always a first time for everything, Pep Guardiola announced afterwards, and this was one such night for the all-conquering coach from Catalonia:

A team like Brighton.

Not sure if this is the right place but has anyone been spat at by oppo fans? Didn't bother reporting to police because they won't do shit. Proper grim though just didn't know of it was normal

It’s just how they talk I’m afraid, from that part of the world. Flem always flying about.

Nice.

Very pleasing score to wake up to.

 

[Sorrel]

First home game I'm missing this season. Bound to be something fantastic!

I can cope - that was a lovely score to hear people talking about this evening!

Some nice analysis on MOTD who unsurprisingly pick out Baleba as the game changer and said that we deserved the win

 

[hart's shirt]

Lineker and Shearer worked hard to get in the I'm A Believer reference for Baleba. They get a free pass from me tonight on that alone.

Shearer: "It was a great 2nd half performance. Brighton deserved to win."

Great words of commentary too from Jonathan Pearce on the noise coming from the home fans.

Great to see that today having been wiped out with covid all week. Thought we were outstanding in the second half, credit to Fab for the subs. Great to see changes nice and earlier rather than waiting. Igor, Pervis and Mitoma were top drawer for me, Pervis getting back to form.

Kyle Walker: ‘We need to show character’​

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Manchester City defender said:
On Brighton’s performance:

We watched the game against Liverpool and we saw Brighton increase their intensity in the second half. I believe small decisions went against us which helped Brighton gain momentum.

Really?

Just came back from London to watch the match highlights. Wow!

The players were brilliant today, I’m so pleased for Pedro and O’Riley to get on the scoresheet after returning back from injury.

Hurzeler’s substitutions were spot on, not only bringing on the two goalscorers but also Baleba at half-time who completely changed the game. 10/10!

The atmosphere was electric, the noise was so loud that my TV couldn’t handle it. I think it is okay now.

Well done all, we deserved this win. To see the Norwegian sulking was the perfect ending to this incredible match.

Apologies if fixtures

 

[Greenbag50]

Enjoyed that….. my lad jumps at goals, but never seen him jump so high with winner today….
AMEX was loud…. For a bit..

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Last week’s first half and this week’s second half are the best, most complete 90 minutes I’ve ever seen us play, and against elite opponents. Structure, skill, movement, bravery on the ball, workrate, desire - astonishing levels of performance.

Put that together in one match and we will destroy top teams.

Did anyone notice the shot pre KO of someone with a Galatasaray scarf? Bit of a f*** you to Ferdi!
