Very physically strong tonight, which along with the support which was phenomenal, made us mentally strong too.

Agree on Tross, if he could play like that consistently...................... he wouldnt be at Brighton!

For those who were there or for those who watched on TV (sadly, I was unable to do either) - what did we do differently tonight that resulted in scoring THREE goals and overcoming a 2 goal deficit vs the PL Champions?
Yes, I appreciate that we were playing against 10 men, but then we did vs. Sheffield United and still huffed and puffed to a miserable 1-1 draw (although we did, predictably, blow some guilt-edged chances to win that one).
I imgaine the 8,000+ in the stadium more than played their partbut did we play noticeably differently to create and convert our chances?
they didnt park the bus to be fair and we were pretty woeful in attack until Ali j was removed and Lallana came on.

Funnily enough, we still missed some gilt edged chances, still served up an opportunity to equalize with mins remaining. Main difference is we scored and Man City didn’t get lucky when we presented them with an 88th min chance.

Exactly this, and when we backed off, we went back for more and more and more.
Trossard goal reminded me of "the dagger". Have we got a potential Vicente?

I wasn't going to start a thread, not wanting to bring up negatives on such a memorable night. But Ali J was absolute GUBBINS. He worked back a few times and put a shift in, but as an attacking influence he was trash. Every cross of his ended up in the south stand.
He's junk, and needs binning off this summer.

We showed bite, got under their skins.
Allied to the usual slick passing game, a winning combination.
(Yeah they had ten men, but with a squad full of $$$$ top internationals, they still know how win after a sending off).

Better ball retention, quicker, more accurate passing and aggression. Best performance of the season? Think so.

We got around the back of them and they didn't like it up them.

How soon is now?
80 mins against 10 men, meant they were very thin in attack. But we got at their defence and rattled them, and won the midfield battle too. Great performance, notwithstanding giving away a couple of soft goals. I’m going to enjoy this for a few days
1). We went for the juggler (yes, I know, that is a deliberate mis-spelling)!
2). Our defenders chipped in with some goals.
3). Stripes.
4). GP doing a Hughton and completely losing his shit.
5). Moder.

I don't think you can discount the influence of the crowd either. Sadly I was a T4 watching from home, but the fans made such a great noise all night, and once we got that goal back, it just ignited the atmosphere to new heights. Once we were back in it the crowd were up for everything, it was brilliant to hear. I think the team really responded to that.
Just tremendous.
