1-0 down, but 5Live saying we're the team that looks the most threatening, that's a relief. I'd be dead happy with a 1-0 loss against a resurgent Man City.

Anyone been able to watch? What's been the highlights for us so far?

It’s gonna be a one point dropped or goal difference preserved thread after this [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]?

Surely these players have got to be under instructions not to shoot. No genuine footballer gets into these positions and then naturally looks for a pass back to the halfway line.

 

[A1X]

The problem with Brighton is they always try to walk it in...

IT Crowd anyone?

What was Potter thinking putting Maupay on that early?

 

[twickers]

Once Maupay does it again and shoots with instinct his touch will be back. I just hope that instinctive relaxed touch comes back soon.

Done a good job defending having a few spells but lacking that killer thrust but still in the game

 

[BNthree]

The question is why aren't we playing with this kind of intent in every game?

Exactly this!

Why were Man City doing it then?

Team effort really, everyone’s had to work very hard, some really neat passing and bodies put on the line at the back.

Tau looks like he might give us something a little different, very happy to take people on with the ball and got a turn of pace.

Not disgraced ourselves at all.

Thank goodness we’ve been told Sterling is on a dry run, we never end those runs for teams and players. Never.

I’ll start with shape, strength, work ethic, Tau, Webster, Ali Mac and Sanchez at least.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Good performance, just need to nick an injury time equaliser. UTA.

Oh, so story of the season so far

Good to hear, I always argued this was a game we could take a few more risks and having looked at the line up...we certainly took some risks.

[emoji106]

Tau and Sanchez especially have been magnificent.

 

[Mellotron]

Those are the exact 4 players I would’ve picked out.

Sanchez is sharp.

 

[andys320]

McManaman should be sacked for having the most annoying accent ever.

And for the expression "to be very honest."

 

[twickers]

I'm still thinking we can get a point here. That's not madness is it?

1. Tau looks a player. Pacey, quick feet and direct
2. Trossard much much better
3. Sanchez kept us in it a number of times with some great shot stopping
4. Bernardo playing well
5.Mac Allister should be starting more games in the advanced midfield position, has looked class

In general, very promising performance, playing with some intent but just unable to break City down.

But, still not shooting in sight.

Play like this against most teams though and we should be fine.
