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

[Ethelwulf]

Sutton saying Milner needs to come off . Been a poor signing

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Our goals conceced tally is bottom 4. This is far more than reaping the benefits of risk-reward DeZerbi Ball.

Colwill, MacA and Caicedo sorely missed.

Well this is what we signed up to, for better or worse. Swashbuckling attack, horribly leaky defence. It Is What It Is, as a not very bright Brummie geography teacher once said

 

[Mike Small]

How was that saveable?

It's at his near post from a shot outside the area. He's gambling that Haaland tries to bend it into the far corner around Dunk. I don't think it's his fault but he's bloody easy to score against and reckon some other PL keepers could get closer to that and save it.

For the record, I would have started Steele today.

 

[US Seagull]

On the plus side, Palace are a goal down

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Hahhahaha you are a f***ing fool by the way. No keeper saves any of them and that’s a fact no questions about it. If you think that you need to stop watching football or keep your idiotic comments to yourself where they belong.

Are you actually serious about that first goal? Steele just starts falling down before Alvarez even kicks it. Any decent PL keeper stands tall and just catches the shinned shot.

 

[Mackenzie]

Getting pummelled today.

….we’re usually better in the second half

 

[Farehamseagull]

One of the most one sided games I can remember watching recently. They’re dominating in absolutely every area. We can’t even string a handful of passes together.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Hahhahaha you are a f***ing fool by the way. No keeper saves any of them and that’s a fact no questions about it. If you think that you need to stop watching football or keep your idiotic comments to yourself where they belong.

Thanks for the insults and the playground comments. However i don't agree, look at the goals Steele lets in. They are not necessarily his fault but a decent keeper gets them or at least gets near to them. Ryan ysed to get his apologists to!
Verbruggen is a much better keeper and we need to stop rotating!

 

[The Rivet]

No keeper saves either of them. And that’s coming from the commentators on the game and the sky sports commentators you’re another fool.

Why do you feel the need to abuse people? Hasn't Bozza warned about that sort of behaviour?

 

[Ethelwulf]

We are the dream team to play for any team in a poor run

 

[BHA Fan93]

You can’t blame Steele for the 2nd. What you can say is that a decent shot stopper will have probably not been beaten by that one.

This is reminiscent of Matt Ryan’s final days, when everything seemed to go in.

Dunk is literally stood in his eyeline. He’s reversed it into the near post with some power no keeper in the world saves that second. Just because the goal has gone in doesn’t mean it’s the keepers fault sooner some people on this thread realise that the better.

 

[MJsGhost]

Is it not true? Apologise all you want for Steele. He never was and never will be a Premier league quality keeper! He a footballing Math Ryan!

You're exposing a long division in our fanbase with that comment

 

[fly high]

Got the cricket on the telly and the football on the radio, not sure which is the bigger car crash right now TBH

I would definitely say the cricket.

 

[Mike Small]

When's the right time to play City?

When Rodri is suspended and not when they've lost their last THREE domestic games Dick Head. They're hurting. Think they would beat anyone today.

 

[BHA Fan93]

Why do you feel the need to abuse people? Hasn't Bozza warned about that sort of behaviour?

Because some people are blaming players that don’t deserve to be blamed, this is our team and the abuse steele gets on here is disgusting.

 

[Acker79]

When's the right time to play City?

History would suggest shortly after they've clinched the title. Not too long after, though. And we need to have time after the game they clinched it for them to have over celebrated. I think last season they had a game the day after Arsenal lost, where they weren't able to celebrate much, but then had a few days before we drew against them.

 

[maltaseagull]

We lost our midfield and failed to properly replace them. Add that to the constant rotation and poorly performing goalkeepers and I’m shocked people think we were going to do really well this season (keeping in mind we overperformed with last years team to begin with)

I think what we're really missing is a plan B

Edit
We are missing a plan.
Milner better off as a Mentor or coach. Getting murdered as a full back.
We seem to have 1 defender, Dunk.

 

[US Seagull]

We need one of those Steele assists to Mitoma. All will be forgiven!

 

[The Rivet]

Because some people are blaming players that don’t deserve to be blamed, this is our team and the abuse steele gets on here is disgusting.

Doesn't give you the right to behave abhorrently though does it! Pffft!

 

[BHA Fan93]

Are you actually serious about that first goal? Steele just starts falling down before Alvarez even kicks it. Any decent PL keeper stands tall and just catches the shinned shot.

He’s kicked it and then it’s hit his other foot and looped over him, are you watching the same game? His initial contact is going to steeles left then it hits his other foot and completely changes direction.
