Upper tier at Wembley and enjoying it despite losing at the moment. Need to get Andone on as we need his pace so badly. The only way we can hurt City is on the break and we won't do that with Murray.

Should Walker have seen red? They didn't show a replay but saw a headbutt movement from the opposite end of the ground.

Giving them acres of space and no pressure on them.

....is the main problem, shame about the early goal but we have done ok, but, as you say, you have to close them down and put your foot in and not give them space, but we are standing off.
I have a horrible feeling that Pep will sort it out at half time, but if we up our game, close them down and get a bit nasty we stand a slim chance.
Please don't do an Albion 2nd half.

I thought that was George Parris 20 years ago in the studio. :facepalm:

Yaya Toure?

Lineker states the bleedin' obvious "Brighton will have to attack in the last 10-15 minutes if they're still a goal down".

Licence fee great value. :down:

Watching this on TV ... yes, Walker should’ve gone. Headbutt down the front of AJ’s face, very aggressive, loads of intent. Shearer and Jenas thought lucky to stay on the pitch.

Agreed, AJ deserved a yellow and a word for aggravation, but intent to head butt is a straight red every time.

We need to have a go though . . . . We're not even trying to score!,!!!

Yes. Had AJ gone down, Walker would have been sent off. Should have gone anyway with VAR really.
 




Let’s get Andone and Jose on early rather than the last 15

Yes, definite sending off, didn't even need VAR you can't do that these days, Francis Lee would have got away with it for City back in the day.

City will come out flying, apart from the very good goal, they have not done all that well with the possession they have had.
Keown needs to shut the F up, totally dominant my arse, dominant yes, totally no.
But what do you expect from a pundit that's got a head like a witchdoctors rattle.

Kyle Walker will be hated like the complete and utter Shyster for years.

Half time they are talking to some kids from Sterling's old school.
Lovely gesture but how the f**k is he able to buy 500 tickets for them?

Ironically none of them interviewed support Citeh :)
