Delighted with that.
My biggest hope in August was that we would get more points than Derby did!
Need to strengthen in midfield especially. but would also like to see another defender and striker.
Next season target is 14thor above.

To be fair, Sane was on fire tonight Head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch.

Not much excitement tonight. It felt like the dead rubber that it was.

strong and stable with me, or...
Once in a career European Cup Finals make players suddenly very tentative about getting injured in their remaining games.
Even with Bong at left back, I wouldn't put a win passed us if our heads are right!

I thought we might get more than Derby's 11, but I didn't think we'd get to 40 points, let alone do it with 2 games to spare and finish 15th at worst - what a season!

A chap called John on Seagulls TV, speaking a lot of sense, when asked about tonight's game.
Well done to you 'John', if you're on here at all

Difference being that for the second goal the player had time and space to control it and pick a spot. Bong should have stayed tighter to him in the first place. All of tonight's goals have been poor from a defensive point of view, not saying Bruno or AK are exempt from that.

Agree. The fact it was against City means nothing, they were really bad goals defensively had we conceded these against anyone. However, we’re safe which is all I care about so let’s hope we learn from it and we move on. UTA !

Interesting info, the woman behind the reception at the Holiday Inn that my folks are staying in tonight after the game was delivered by Bruno's dad on the same day that Bruno himself was born. Small world and clearly two legends in the family
I hope the club are looking at new fullbacks too this summer. Our defence isn't too bad at all, but the huge budget allows for further strengthening in that area.

Against a team whose average player is worth £55m, I think we did ok. Feeling very positive for next year
I agree, it is a real weakness compared to other areas.......
We were comprehensively outplayed in every position of the pitch. They spent 20 mins trying to manufacture a goal for Yaya Toure - had they not, it’s likely that the damage would have been worse. The three goals we conceded all had fairly basic defending errors in them - as did ours; what was the keeper thinking?!
Sane on fire for them; Duffy our MoM.
All that said - we acquited ourselves honourably; losing to a team self-evidently miles better than us carries no shame.

Sane had just as much time and space versus Bruno. They are world class players to overly criticise our defence is stupid.
Edit to add do you think any of our players would have scored from either of those chances, Knockaerts chance was easier than both.
