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

[Timbo]

Bong's lacklustre attempted block was just the final piece in a poorly defended team goal but hey ho we are safe, only 2-1 down .. away to the champions ..so not all bad then!

Important bit of context added here, but still, Bong's defending for both goals was appalling regardless of who we were playing.

Taking into account the other thread about Yaya Toure how has he done in this game.

Great post, well done! Very constructive!

Up there with 'Bong the liability' I would think.

 

[Icy Gull]

There are probably quite a few fullbacks who have been a liability at the Etihad this season. To suggest Bong is not good enough after the season he has had is just stupid imo. Not to say we can’t improve on him but he is a big part of our defence which has done quite well overall.

 

[Gabbafella]

I'll probably be slated for having an opinion, but bong turning his back when that shot came in was just dumb. Poor defending at any level.

I think Bong has had a wonderful season considering the step up, but I do feel if we want to make the next step up in this league we need to address both full back positions. Bong was poor for both goals tonight - that’s no scapegoating - it was obvious. We haven’t disgraced ourselves though and it’s not an important game for us so nobody panic

Great post. My criticism of Bong is driven by his poor defending for the 2 goals and not just to make him a scapegoat. It is however a position we do need to strengthen if we are to progress as a team.

Not really it’s an opinion! You don’t agree but it’s very immature to just call someone an idiot! Still you use the moo emoji so obviously a sensible chap!

Bong having a nightmare, at fault for both goals.

Touches Izzy 3 Sane 42

Need to isolate their winger, if we can.

No one gets passed Bong. He's been solid and allowed Izqueirdo to play. He's not perfect by any stretch, and has his moments and mistakes, but to call him a liability is simply daft.

Calm down calm down

Funny, no-one else has mentioned that.

Someone had to be the scape goat. Bongs an easy target. I look forward to more later. Time NSC has finished he won’t even be fit to tie my boots

It's good we've reached the end of the season, as another Albion player might have a target on their back, if they ever dare slip up against a PL great.

I've located another small river should your original have dried up in the first half.

Huddersfield luck has run out 1-1 fluke

 

[Beach Hut]

Pointless playing Ulloa in this Man City testimonial, Locadia obviously has no place in a Chris Hughton side at the moment. We may have wasted a few million quid

The Locadia who arrived injured and Chris said earlier this week he has a massive part to play next season.

Watch this space

Still good enough for them.
