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

[Farehamseagull]

Fantastic second half team performance but totally overshadowed by Solly’s injury. I pray it’s not as bad as it looked.

 

[RandyWanger]

Time for Nick Stanley to pack up and go.

 

[One Love]

Much better when the subs made. That's becoming a recurring theme.

 

[jcdenton08]

Very gutted about Solly and Welbeck. Really tough to swallow.

Good second half and a lot of spirit.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Better second half, but you can't just be doing half a match. Sollys knee doesn't look too good I'm afraid and we're running out of left backs!

 

[trueblue]

our eternal build up and recycling is our downfall. Take a chance with a whipped ball 15% of the times we get to the by-line, instead of going back, and we would have more chances.

Second highest scorers in the Premier League. Probably doing something right in our approach play.

Those officials were crooked - how was there only 4 minutes added time in that half with the new rules this season? It's a joke

Don't be silly.

 

[bluenitsuj]

Very disappointed. Game was lost first 20 minutes.
Many poor performances as well.

Also disappointing so many on here happy to write games like this off. So glad they don't manage the team.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Better second half. Shame we couldn't hve done better in the first. Hope Solly is o.k.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Time for Nick Stanley to pack up and go.

Who he?

 

[portslade seagull]

Hopefully the two injuries aren't as bad as they look. We are looking very light defensively

[Bodian]

At least we've kept up our ridiculous record of scoring in every game since whenever it was (can't remember when).

 

[maltaseagull]

Well we came out of that with far more credit than I thought we would after that abysmal first half.
We looked more likely to snatch a draw than City to get a 3rd.

Second highest scorers in the Premier League. Probably doing something right in our approach play.

situational i guess. stoppage time when their backs are against the wall was my thinking. a slight change on the fly wouldn't hurt.

 

[Steviewonder]

Great second half. If we'd turned up in the first half, we may well have earned some points. Hope Solly injury not too serious but looked bad.

I thought Cole Palmer had gone to Chelsea

WTF is that haircut on the left?

Growing out his Foden style?

More managing expectations, for me anyway.

Champions of Europe
Haven't lost or drawn at home in 2023
Lost the last two so something to prove

Vs

Injury ridden squad
Can't keep a clean sheet
Have never won at City

it was always going to be tough
