Well he's not gonna make a change until the 70th minute at minimum (if at all) so we have to hope these lot can do it.

You don’t think Rodri is good? Do you watch a different sport to me??

He plays it sideways and back too. Yes, that Rodri, especially tonight.

Difference between us and the dippers. Their front three score for fun

They have a front 5 just incase one of them has an off day and doesnt. Compare us at this point.....

 

[Luke The Blue]

oh fuck off with the "teams sitting back". it's not their fault we take 20 minutes to start a fucking counter. there's plenty of space in behind but every single time the players take a billion touches and play it back because we have no pace.

it's not the opposition "seating back" it's city being unbelievably slow and tedious

We are being patient cos they are very compact and everyone of Brightons players are trying to hit us on the counter. Go and watch the first half again.

 

[Turner92]

Dias coming on for Ake what a stupid decision should of been someone that can offer something going forward

 

[DATOIA]

Lavia is a better version of Rodri. He sees a pass forward, Rodri mostly never.

LOOOL

This is the stupidest thing I have ever read on this forum.

 

[Stelea]

Terrible 1st half.
Full backs a disaster, Gundo slowing it down and another good chance wasted.
Mahrez 2 great chances pissed away, Foden invisible.
Team 2nd to every contested ball

 

[dromoreblue]

Need to move the ball a bit quicker. Just a bit too predictable at the minute.

 

[B\connellblue]

Usual slow aimless shit. Can we fucking shoot for fuck sake.

 

[west didsblue]

The media have got in everyone's heads.
This atmosphere is the worst its been all season. Everyone has literally given up.
What an embarrassment. At least 100 empty seats in this block of season ticket holders. Fucking embarrassing.

My seats empty because I’ve got Covid. There’s a lot of it around.

i said earlier in the week that our lack of finishing could be the difference.....mahrez and gundogan should have have both scored and if thats one of the liverpool front 3 or 4 and both would have been in......the game would then be open and comfortable.....

Mahrez doesnt have a killer instinct in him...i know he is our top scorer this year but he is a soft touch in front of goal too foden and for a player with such sublime skill he should do better.

Issue is that no one on the bench changes this ...Grealish aint a goal threat nor particularly creative....Jesus...bags of energy but again finishing is a problem

For me if we need a goal in the last 20 mins he should throw delap on ....play him in the middle upfront ...he might be a kid but he at least is a finisher

 

[Gray]

Rodri and Gundogan are they on the pitch?

 

[plattlanebenches]

Well this thread is as happy as Morrissey at an all you can eat steakhouse.

Pmsl

 

[sir baconface]

No fkn chance of that. Youths only get a few minutes per season in dead rubbers or against Dog & Duck sides.

 

[teddykgb]

If Delap hadnt been injured and had played a bit more to this point he might be an option but there’s no universe where you pin our title hopes on him as a halftime sub on the off chance he can find this level. It is unfortunately too late for that although I wish we had found him minutes more recently to have the option

 

[Fordyboy46]

Actually I think we've not been at it now for months. The odd stand out performance in amongst a load of meh performances tbh. Just more of the same this evening.

And several more of these performances before the season ends, we're far too predictable

Spot on!

Ake looked to be injured at the end.

 

[Blu1]

I will be worried if pep doesn’t make at least one sub. Jesus has to start 2nd half

 

[Chippy_boy]

and still dont score

We usually win by boring them to death.
