Match Thread | Brighton vs. Man City (24/05/23)

We are a mess at the back tonight.

Think part of the fault is just in front of them, Gundogan can't get anywhere near them in midfield without Rodri alongside him.

 

[MCFC1993]

We're playing at about 70% with a makeshift defence against the 3rd or 4th best team in the country (in my opinion).

About what I expected. Entertaining.

Ortega doing his best Pickford impression for their goal…..

...a demented trout

 

[paulchapo]

Would be a different approach if so.

Yes but don't forget Brighton have rested players too.

 

[Barcon]

Commentator creamed his knickers then over Welbeck's goal. Premature ejeculation if you ask me.

Just said to the wife that he's going to cream himself to death. Connor something or other.

We are a mess at the back tonight.

We were before Dias came back from injury

For those are still not sure who our most important player is, I hope today proves how important Rodri is as a DM against good teams

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

Biggest take away from this half, Rodders is not a centre half and it’s causing caos back there - not digging at Rodders, he is brilliant but just not a cb. Also Brighton play excellent footy, I am amazed they are not even higher (mind you how many apologies have they had from pigmol!?)

A good workout to get the alcohol out of the system lol

 

[blueinsa]

Great game between a City side in 1st gear and a Brighton side who have at times been magnificent to watch.

Could be 3-1 to us, 3-1 to them or 3-3 right now.

Screamer from Encisco.

 

[whos_kompany85]

Holy shit they are so good, very likeable too. Hope we turn up in the 2nd half

 

[phargrave]

Nobody has ever screamed Welbeck as loudly as the commentator just did.

Eric ten fags says hi!

 

[TheBlueCat]

Anyone worked out who is playing in our defence tonight?

7 days ago we mullered Real Madrid and now we're Champions there's no need for us to bust a gut. It's a great game. I'm enjoying it and I bet Pep is too.

 

[I'm Blue]

The deadest of dead rubbers
Not arsed one bit how we’ve played.

 

[Chak19]

Not surprised by this performance, with two finals coming we don't to force it against a very good Brighton side who obviously want to get one over the champions, it's made for a very entertaining game.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I think Mac Allister is a bit overrated.

Yeah. And probably could get Enciso much cheaper.

 

[Iassel]

Ortega doing his best Pickford impression for their goal…..

Jesus Christ…. Peter Crouch with Lev Yashin on his shoulders wouldn’t have got to that

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

BHA have been superb, glad we have won the league already as I wouldn’t want to be dependent on this game tonight.
