Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[chaddblue]

@OfficialBHAFC defender Lewis Dunk: “The whole world will be watching and it’s a big chance to show what we’re about - it will be a historic game to be involved in... In the last home game we want to send the supporters home happy with something to cheer about.”

Talk is cheap. Let's see if they can really raise themselves for the game or if when it comes into it they can be bothered to really put 100% effort in

 

[Plain Speaking]

Also says Brighton game results are pre-ordained. Weren't these guys saying the same thing about Leicester on Mon?

I think they were saying the Team Sky medics were providing services, (ie doping), to Leicester prior to their PL win, plus a small group of officials, (including Clattenburg), being in regular charge of their matches and giving favourable decisions. Vardy certainly was given a lot of penalties that season.

It's says City this season are proving very resistant to manipulations.

Sterling was sandwiched in the Leicester game, for what looked a stonewall penalty, which was waved away. No one could possibly find a reason to disallow VK's screamer.

Hopefully on Sunday we will be too strong again. We certainly haven't been helped by officials, in contrast to Liverpool.

I'm still having nightmares about the last game at Maine road versus the saints .was a big day and we didn't turn up.shocking performance and lost 1-0

This happened twice on Sunday and I can't help feeling it is deliberate and actually quite clever - each individual challenge is not enough to warrant a penalty but together get the job done.

It is probably too difficult to pull off but it was with it happening twice with the same defenders that made me wonder

I have no doubt they will the fuckers. I haven't heard anyone from Wolves coming out with similar.

 

[kaz7]

Lol

Perhaps you should look at the drivel you post EVERY pre-match thread before laughing,in the context of the discussion i was just having it's fine and they are my local team so i know them and the current mood

You mean, like Conor Coady. Wolves captain and Liverpool fan ;-)

Yes he should be dropped for the game. Mind you if we do our own job we should be okay, although we'll need four clear cut penalty shouts to get one off Oliver.

 

[northstander62]

Has everyone received their match ticket yet ?

Another dipper fan in a team we need to take 3 pts off,hmm

 

[Perseus]

im getting a bit tired of hearing about liverpool in this thread. they are as relevant to our team on sunday as Huddersfiled are.

City need to win, just like they do every single game they play.

remember peeps, we are playing brighton, NOT liverpool.

so on that note, i think a team of

ederson
walker
stones
eric
zinchy
gundog
silva
silva
sterling
aguero
sane

should rip them a new arsehole. pressure and time, thats all it takes .. pressure and time!!

3-0 City.

Should have said Barcelona not Liverpool. Brighton's defence could be as bad as Barcelona, but don't bank on it.

Brighton are more like Newcastle than Leicester, no pace up front. If BHA play the Old Guard it it'll be a straight four bus at the back: Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong.

It's all talk mate. The season they have just played and the survival in the premier league was for the fans. As soon as that team see a blue tsunami rolling up to them, you really think they are going to pull their tripe out and risk being injured all summer? Not an effing chance.
Win or lose the bha fans will be super happy. Even the home fans will enjoy seeing the league trophy hoisted in their stadium!!!
Like the bha fan said "the whole world is watching"

Gundog was good overall on Monday but he was soft as shite in two tackles when Leicester were countering, he is needing strongly told that such an occurrence on Sunday is unacceptable.

I think Foden was slightly overawed by the occasion and the energy of Bernardo and Jesus is a good shout. Jesus looks like he is choking to get going....

I too have guarded reservations about Gundo's play but with KDB and dinho out he's the best of the rest.
agree totally that last bit, especially about foden and jesus.
i've been taking for granted for a year and a half that Bernardo will be be top shelf.
is there an argument that B. Silva shouldn't be on the PL team of the year?

Is it definite that Dino and KDB are out ?

 

[kaz7]

No,we'll find out on friday for sure

 

[uwe rosler 28]

We are not creating enough atm and that is the only thing worrying me as they will defo park the bus.

 

[mikemcfc]

Is it definite that Dino and KDB are out ?

not certain, but this started awhile back when i responded to someone's line-up, its all good.

 

[der bomber28]

when you see mo salah fall down anywhere inside the box and the referee gives a pen and then you see sterling getting mashed and nothing ?? you bet am shitting myself

look its in our own hands and not only manchester city players and manaer can control our game but the referee and officials also will have a big part in it ?? and with what as been said by the head of the premier league and the way liverpool getting results you have to feel a twist is on the cards, if we are not 100% on fire and kill the game and take a big percentage of our chances then the referee has the chance to be a star ??

its a hard game and away from home and all that ?? brighton will be safe and under no pressure what so ever and a free ride so makes it 100% harder with them nothing to lose, pressure is on and manchester city must respect brighton

Pretty much how I’ve been looking at it. I really can’t shake the feeling, that we’re actually going to be the ones on the other side of the Aguero moment. That’s just the old City pessimist in me, and of course I hope I’m fuckin wrong.

 

[pudge]

And the nerves begin again.

Fuck me, my heart will be glad to see the back of this season.
