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

[Johnny RoastBeef]

But he hasn't: he's been back for a month now and he's played well in those games

Give him a chance, he still needs to find his rhythm.

We were lucky on 3 occasions when city hit the ball just past the back post every Brighton player stops thinking its out but city just keep going....pretty sure its a ploy they use quite a bit (and did against us in second season away game).

 

[blue-shifted]

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

Nope. He was like that before

I was just wondering about Pröpper’s pass completion rate. I guessed 0%.

Not quite...

 

[Stato]

A good half from us, but that quality was going to matter sooner or later. Looking at the number of City players committed forward and the space in behind them was making me wish that teams not as good as them would play that way against us. We'd have loads of chances. Then I realised that we're that team for the rest of the division.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Regarding Pröpper, I’m not making excuses BUT, he is the only recognised midfielder in our team playing against Gündogan, Rodri and Silva, if he’s looking off the pace I think that might have something to do with it.

If had Bissouma next to him, it would still be tough.

It’s not about being off the pace more quality of passing when you need to keep the ball.

Chin up lads, you went toe to toe in that half against the oil billionaires.

Genuinely believe we can score here.

 

[Mike Small]

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

I'm sure the players and Potter have been is the refs ear ever since...

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Tau really doing some running. From our corner just before the goal he ran the whole length of the pitch and only just missed to intercept the cross from OUR corner flag area!..Lamptey and Tau on the wings could be an interesting partnership...

 

[The Fits]

I guess with Propper, and with Moder and Caicedo coming in, we can afford to lose him, and he will get a transfer fee.
We need to get rid of few players and right now I think Ali J, Propper, and Gross are candidates. Let Potter build with his players.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Mixed bag for Bernado, a liability to an incisive player then back to a liability. Does make me nervous.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Bernardo really is pony.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Keep it down to 1-0 till the hour and then Maupay, March and Gross for Trossard, Bernardo, Propper

 

[neilbard]

Bit unlucky really, still well in this..

Being off the pace isn't the problem.

It's him being in a situation with loads of time and good attacking options and just misplacing the pass.

 

[portslade seagull]

Impressed by the defending in the 1st half, bodes well for future games as we seem more competent at corners

 

[Hugo Rune]

Agreed. Championship level performance with a world class clearance thrown in (that would have been a goal).

 

[Gabbafella]

We're gonna win 2-1....

 

[Mike Small]

Encouraging first half. Feeling positive going forward. We’ll comfortably avoid the drop.

I'll have what you're drinking! Same old story.

*Not that we should get anything at City at the best of times let alone with half our team unavailable.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Bernardo really is pony.

I'm not a great fan, but he hasn't done too much wrong this half
