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

[Hugo Rune]

Get Lallana on for Alzate at half time

This.

I think we need some height or pace up front too. Maybe Zeqiri, Tau or Connolly on for Ali.

The lack of decent wing backs is also clearly apparent tonight. Groß & Mober amateur solid without any real threat.

 

[SockMonster]

zeqiri for AJ
Caicedo for Mac
Karbo for Gross

Moder Biss and White excellent but we absolutely toothless up front

Jonny: 'Was that a shot or a cross, Warren?'
Warren: 'If it was a shot it was a bad one; if it was a cross it was a bad one .................. I hope it's better quality than that from Jahanbakhsh in the second half .'

Can still see us getting a point out of this

Re. the red card, it's hardly "denying him a goal-scoring opportunity" when it was Danny Wellbeck in there.

Don't forget to head over to Blue Moon during the half time break for some groundbreaking comedy and world class insight.

 

[Lever]

Is this a sign Potter doesn't fancy Connolly by the way? Surely exactly the kind of game you'd bring him on in?!

Interesting observation. Connolly would certainly make the attacking runs that are lacking at the moment....

 

[Lower West Stander]

I’m at the game and all I have read on here is posters slagging the team off.

Bissouma has been excellent
White has had Foden in his pocket
Webster has been rock solid.

City break at the speed of light.

How about a bit of positivity?

Agree the Lallana is capable of lighting up the Amex.

Have to get a striker on though.

 

[oldboyroy]

Huff and puff but not made city keeper work yet. No shots on goal against 10 men for 35 mins. Yes it's the champions and billions worth of talent but they are treating it as a training game and we're letting them. Pundits city love in with never a red card for city but 100%red for A J for his assault on Gundolan!!

 

[Swansman]

What a great first half from the lads. Posing problems for Man City.

Just get that goal now.

Indeed a good half. Only trouble is that it is a little difficult to see where that goal is coming from when there is no Maupay, Welbeck or Dunk on the pitch. Trossard probably the best bet.

 

[The Fits]

Don't think their goal happens with Dunk on the pitch.
So important for us.

I am going to commit herasy here but.... I am not so sure it will be a downgrade, a different style yes Moder is not as good on the defensive side but i think him playing in the middle will drive us forward better and may encourage the team to attack a bit quicker, probably at the expense of a few goals conceded.

I think it's a defendable opinion, and I'd like to hope you're right.

Personally I just hope if Bissouma is off then we get it dealt with quickly, don't want it hanging around into pre-season and disrupting our plans if we need to build around Moder and not Biss.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Ali J working hard, in the same way CMS did, with worse end product.
Time for him to leave.

Our best chance of scoring is probably a penalty. This is a problem.

 

[A1X]

Only a goal down against a team with 10 men.
We have no striker on the pitch.

Potter, stop playing against the name and start playing against the 10 men on the pitch.

Alireza has yellow card already and still playing very risky and aggressive. Maybe Zequiri ?

 

[Zebedee]

So our only striker goes off injured and we being on Trossard. I despair.

 

[Driver8]

zeqiri for AJ
Caicedo for Mac

We only have two subs left.

I’m sure they’ll keep plugging away.

Nice that the fans are being supportive and positive in the stadium.

The piss taking of their goalie is funny.
