[Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
Seen the penalty decision several times he sticks his leg out and Dunk kicks it as far as the rules go it’s a penalty but the rule is an arse and if it took VAR so long to make the decision then the referee trundled over to the monitor and only takes a glance at the screen he cannot have seen all the angles rubbish decision.
The first goal was a little less in question my first thought was Webster was pushed in the back but again after having seen it several times I think it was a shoulder barge but what really is the question where was Sanchez the goal was empty I can only think he was mushrooming further up the pitch.
A really good first 20 minutes and a really good second half the score does not reflect the game I watched

Yeah, we really need to see these lads knotch up some decent match time before PotterPurse et al comes a knocking in January - Impossible to judge their contributions when they only have 5-10mins. It’s also helpful to have youngsters PL match ready to keep pressure on the regular starters to always up their game

Yeah it’s my only, slight, frustration with De Zerbi is that he isn’t giving fringe players more time.Yeah, we really need to these lads to knotch up some decent match time before PotterPurse et al comes a knocking in January - Impossible to judge their contributions when they only have 5-10mins.

Anything less than 15mins or so is pointless, there’s not enough time for them to get into the game and show what they can do and there isn’t enough minutes for them to benefit and play into form to start games.
I can understand not changing a successful side so it’s not really a complaint, but if we are dealing with fatigue already, then I kind of think he needs to be giving these guys more time so they are ready to come in and play because we are probably going to need to play some of them.
I first spotted this con in a Calvert-Lewin dive at Anfield about 4 or 5 years back.
Instead of taking a completely natural path in on goal and body shape, he made a bizarre run 45 degrees away from goal
This.

Way more positives than negatives in this one and playing away to one of the best teams in the world, that's just fine by me.

The usual platitudes from the Man City forum that we get as long as we lose. Best side at the Etihad this season, play good stuff, etc.

You Albion fans who made the journey today were loud and very clear here in Spain. Well done to all of you that travelled under very trying circumstances.
That is some loud singing. Didn't hear anything here but tbf my windows are closed.

We will eventually start banging the goals in on a regular basis in this system I am confident.

Apparently we need to sign a £30_£40million striker for that to happen.

We were turned over by Lee Mason. Without his bias it's 1-1. it is so sickening that this big 6 bias is there for all to see. Pawson was even having a close, friendly chat with De Bruyne in the tunnel when they lined up before kickoff. He walked over to Dunk, said literally 5 or 6 words and then back to continue his smiley friendly chat with De Bruyne.

we need to get Trossard on the ball in or near the box to make better use of what we have.
Scoff if you want, but with Chelsea's keepers and Trossard's contract situation. GP would be mad if he hadn't tapped Sanchez and Tross up before he left Lancing. Maybe not January but almost certainly in the summer.
Remember, you're the Potter expert who said he wouldn't go to Chelsea.....
On the face of it not a bad performance. But what was Lalana playing near Welbeck and not Trossard. Once again not giving Andov 30mins. Sorry but Sanchez apart from shot stopping is rubbish. What on earth was he doing. Hope he plays against us in world cup.
Your theory that players might decide to consciously play shit against Chelsea just to get GP to sign them is one of the most ridiculous takes from you in several days.Scoff if you want, but with Chelsea's keepers and Trossard's contract situation.
