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

[The Fits]

Given we are without Lallana, Wellbeck, Maupay, Lamptey, March and Biss- 6 players you'd strongly argue would be starters when fit, I think they can be very proud of that first half. Bodes well for the next two games which really matter.

Poor from Webster and Sanchez.

Sorry, but was brilliant from Foden. I suppose there will someone saying Ryan would have saved that.

 

[R. Slicker]

McAllister having a cracking game

Agreed, Great movement from Mac.

We literally had someone hope we lose against i believe sheffield united.

One person who I’m sure regretted the comment.

Well... Good first half, considering the opposition. Shame we conceeded so close to half-time, it'll really open it up for City in the 2nd half.

Tau looking really good. Really lively, good pace, great ball control and touches. Best player for us probably.

Bernardo looks well out of his depth, but bizarrely pulled off a couple of really good challenges amongst loads of errors.

White looking really good in central midfield. His best performance yet in that position.

Sanchez looking really solid. Not a lot he could have done about that finish right in the corner.

Alex Mac also looking decent. A couple of outstanding passes.

All in all, shame we conceded the goal as it will open the flood gates. We might be able to nick a goal at a push, but chances are it'll end up 3-0 or similar.

I think 2-2 or maybe 2-3 to us

We haven't lost yet.

Losing isn't lost. We can still get back in the game.

 

[macbeth]

happy with that overall, tau and mac allister have looked very very good indeed. shame the goal came when it did, but a lot better than i thought it would be

 

[Munkfish]

Im firmly Potter out, but that was a decent half.

Ali Mac looks very good.

 

[albionalex]

Tau fouled in the build up to the goal.

 

[Hugo Rune]

You obviously haven't seen some of the things i get called on here

What’s the worst example? Was it ‘dicksplash’?

 

[The Fits]

Webster has been superb. A decent half from everyone. Tau looks sharp and Macallister has been a revelation. Dunk at his best. Encouraging.

Webster is a different player when he plays on the right. Almost all his mistakes seem to come when he played on the left of a three.

 

[Driver8]

Tau looking good. Propper hasn’t managed to pass to an Albion player yet!

 

[heathgate]

Dunk is so indecisive with the ball at his feet Burn is a weaklink, Trossard wasteful.... but the team is doing ok... better out balls to Percy, and some Mac support, we could nick one.

Usual service. Everyone purring over our attractive football whilst going home with nil points.

Some of you mugs might be falling for this, but i aint.

Go home Dad, you’re drunk

 

[Justice]

Tau got fouled in the build up to their goal useless ref it was right in front of him

 

[crookie]

Frustrating to concede so late, but quality from Foden. Thought we've been very decent, not been carved open too often, and got into some good positions. Unfortunately been wasteful when we've been in those positions. MacAllister and Tau v impressive, defence has been pretty good. Propper has been poor for me

You saved me typing this out.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Gutting to concede just before the half.

With cutting, original insight like this alex you’ll go far. Quality posting!

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

We haven't been bad: Tau, Mac and Webster have had good games. Maybe Webster should have done better with the goal but that was a quality turn.

What the hell is up with Propper though? He looks completely off the pace and his passing his way off. Trossard should be doing better too. Let's have Gross and Maupay on, sharpish

I know, it's almost like he's been out for a while injured.

 

[Goberpiles]

Played well tonight so far, I thought that was foul on Tau, Trossard I don’t get can’t cross or take players on, as someone said commentators think we are a threat from corners they can’t watch us much.

It’s city we don’t expect anything from this, but a good performance you can take losing, it’s losing when the players don’t show any passion that hurts.
