Brighton (A) | Post-Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

if newcastle can get 2 pens for less then its a stone wall pen for city and jesus

Jesus has to get used to being fouled in the area and not getting a pen. it's only happened to him 'cos Raheem wasn't playing.

Quite possibly the worst refereeing + VAR performance I've seen.

Utter fucking cunts.

Don't care about the loss and don't blame Brighton, they were allowed to get away with murder. More bothered about the players getting through it. Hope Gundo's ok.

I think deep down Potter will realise he has lost the respect of a great manager, he may not sleep well tonight.

I thought he looked a bit deflated when he was interviewed.

I still think he is too good for Brighton.

It’s kind of nice to be reminded who we are and what we have achieved and how much we are fucking hated. Those Brighton wankers would have been sucking the red histree twats dicks if they had a CL final coming up and the referees would have protected them. Tonight was a shameful return to what we saw a few years back when it was open season on City players. Ancelotti and Everton won’t do the same I am pretty sure, he has to much class.
anyway fuck the lot of them, we pick up our second trophy on Sunday and have a chance to claim the CL the following Saturday.
CITY!

Rodri fucked the game up for us tonight, cruising at 2-0 then immediately after our second plays the shittest back pass imaginable and they score from it. That turned the match completely, piss poor from him.

This is not looking good preparation for the champs league. We’re all over the place. Not sure why Garcia is featuring. It’s a little bizarre. I understand we’re saving the players for the big games but we’re so out of sorts right now it’s going to be hard get into rhythm. Everton wont make it easy and it could be another uncomfortable night. Another poor performance from the team. Hope Mr whippy is ok.

My youngest son has just said after I read your post to him, ‘thought he was a singer’. I said, ‘not Max Bygraves, I said Mark Seagraves’.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Lets be clear - Cancelo's arm was trapped by Welbecks arm. There is no way he had any grip to pull him down.

AS for the rest, feck me, their incompetence knows no bounds - unless there was bias, for some reason.

Unless???

 

[Phoenix900000]

hahahahah

fuck off you knew what you was doing and pep will have your card and next season look out because you will be facing a rugby score

Again what did he do???

This is not looking good preparation for the champs league. We’re all over the place. Not sure why Garcia is featuring. He hasn’t been all season. It’s a little bizarre. I understand we’re saving the players for the big games but we’re so out of sorts right now it’s going to be hard get into rhythm. Everton will smell blood and it could be another uncomfortable night. Very disappointed in Pep.

The fucking state.

Not the best but he’s had a great season. Our standards are so high that people get hyper critical of great players

(not having a go mate)

Tbh I high-key didn't care about this game but some observations:

- Referee horror show throughout the game.
- Garcia is a disaster at RB.
- Gundogan is crucial to our MF. Hope he's good.
- Rodri might've played himself out of a CL final start.
- Foden is incredible.

 

[blue whippet]

It was always going to be difficult playing with 80 mins against a team in front of their own crowd playing their last home game of the season. Poor game management from us though to lose after going 2 up, especially after such a great goal by Foden. Thought the sending off was harsh, that sort of pushing and shoving by both players is ignored in other areas of the pitch. Ridiculous that the assault on Gundogan was only considered worthy of a yellow. If the foul on Jesus had been committed against a Brighton player in our box a penalty would have been given.

What a complete over reaction, disappointed in pep? Fuck off you absolute weapon

You watch a 90-minute utter shit-show from the officials and slate one of our players for "turning the match completely" with one mis-placed pass?

That's what got me was the gundog incident
Knee high challenge not given as a red. Then the foul by lalanna (sp) that lead to gundog going off not given as a foul
Says it all in thoughs two incidents

 

[svennis pennis]

Trust me living close to Brighton their fans are absolute twats. Half of them have Brighton as their second side and support Liverpool or United. Fucking despise them

Lived in Brighton for years and I can vouch for this. Load of people I know were Rags or Dippers before they got into the premier league.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

The fucking state.

Ha ha some right sad sacks on here

 

[coolcity]

After such a great start it was disconcerting how we fell apart. Everytime Brighton attacked they looked like scoring, particular in the second half. Only Gundo, Bernie and Phil emerged with any credit. The red card I'm not sure. Wellbeck was always going to play for it, somebody was grabbing someone's arm but it was hard to tell who. It should have been a red for the Gundo shocker. Talking of shockers we have the officials and I include var in that. The club really has to say something they were an utter disgrace tonight.

Talking of disgraces......I give you Brighton. In a nothing game and knowing we have a champions league final coming up they were a bunch of utter thugs,kicking any of our players within booting distance, allowed to get away with it all match of course.

The game turned on us having to fetch Garcia on and Rodri's inexplicable pass straight to a Brighton player when we'd just gone 2-0 up. Ten minutes more and they'd have lost heart, instead it's 2-1 and the crowd are up for it. Unforgivable error.

Garcia. In Spanish and English there are no words that do it justice to describe how bad this lad is. Brighton targeted his side all the time and no wonder. He is shocking.

People night say it's a nothing game and it was,but we don't want to start losing form, rhythm and confidence on the cusp of our biggest game of the season.

I haven't seen the replay but I didn't see an arm actually being grabbed, it was just two players, both with their arms out. That's why it wasn't a pen for me, there was nohing there to make Welback go down.
