Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[Hellephant]

Mahrez, why Pep? Mahrez has been shit all season. He stole the penalty, and missed it, vs Liverpool. Pep, this can end in a catastrophe.

 

[BlueNirvana]

We will still win no problem, but in no way does Navas i mean Mahrez deserve to be in that team

 

[the plasterer]

Got really bad vibes about this, admittedly im the most pessimistic old bastard going but Mahrez??, im a nervous wreck

 

[ninjamonkey]

The best thing about mahrez starting is that we get Bernardo in his best position. That’s the only positive I can find. Please prove us all wrong. In fact on that basis and just to cover all bases, the whole team is shit!

 

[Andrew___K]

Probably best possible lineup, allows to play Bernardo inside and Sterling on the left where he looks most dangerous.

As for Sane, he's been terrible since the start of the year, BM's love for him seems almost irrational to me. Mahrez is a logical choice for the RW position, we don't have any alternatives really.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Mahrez has looked like he couldn't give a shit more or less every time he's played apart from early on in the season. Let's hope he can be arsed to at least put a bit of effort in today.

 

[BosnianBlue]

Pep is some cocky fucker. From all games, he picks Mahrez today. Lol-

 

[domalino]

5Live now have Rory Smith on to tell us how City fans are wrong to think the media want Liverpool to win, despite basically saying he and Henry Winter (the other guest) want them to win.

 

[80s Shorts]

Absolutely fuming about this, does Pep realise we're on the cusp of winning the league and he goes and starts with Mahrez.

No, he thinks we're going for a kickabout at the park.

 

[SWP's back]

Premier league winning Mahrez starts. You'll excuse me if I don't join you all in shitting myself till we see how it unfolds.

This is why we should have bought Premier League winning Johnny Fucking Ans ahead of Stones.

 

[wattle]

You dont need to. Lets just get behind the team selected rather than the pathetic comments some are making

I agree but just trying get my head around it. I suppose he might know what he’s doing ;)

 

[bobmcfc]

Ok ok it’s a decent line up.

 

[dubblue]

Wtf Liverpool game pre build up on but city not on till 230. All iv heard today is Liverpool this & Liverpool that! F##k off

Cmon city

It’s ridiculous isn’t it. We are top going into the final game.

Grow a pair!!

 

[jollylescott]

I think there’s a fair chance Raz is going to win a pen, but who the heck would take it?

 

[The Black Shed]

178 pre-match pages and still 45 mins till ko. Let's push it to a double ton guys.

 

[Achillias]

I don't blame Pep for not selecting Sané. You can't say he was playing well the last couple of matches.

 

[mccity]

I think there’s a fair chance Raz is going to win a pen, but who the heck would take it?

Aguero if he's on the pitch.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

I think there’s a fair chance Raz is going to win a pen, but who the heck would take it?

I'd give it to Vinny

 

[80s Shorts]

If he can’t deliver today, he needs to be shifted on in the summer. This is his opportunity AGAIN to show what he can contribute to the team. If he keeps cutting inside and shooting we are fcuked.

Not if one or two nestle in the top corner. We can but hope.
