[Trickyblues]

John Stones and Gvardiol - absolute Rolls Royce’s

 

[wattle]

Anyone know what that prat with the whistle stopped the game for for over a minute for seemingly no reason? No idea in the ground as usual

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Commentator on my stream sounds like he's contracted pneumonia or something.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Really good half after a bit of a slow start. I don't think anyone hasn't been good. Gvaridol quietly having. a great game at LB. I do fear for Ake's minutes which is crazy to say as he was so good last season. Stones is such a unique player as well.

I maybe take off Rodri for Kovacic or Nunes as it's not worth potentially going down a man.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Great half

 

[homerdog]

Yes, you could say it's petty by the ref.

It was completely petty - Kane kicked the ball away for England in the week and there was no booking - because the ref wasn't a ****.

 

[cookster]

Doku Wow

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Ok sorry mate. Thought you were being sarky.

All good.

Doku been our best player for me so far.

Very good but I think Phil has been brilliant.
Great to have Stones back as well.
Really makes a difference to mid field ball carrying.

Welbeck injury maybe?

 

[Chak19]

No, he kicked it wide and away. Stupid. Just leave the ball alone.

It's not like he booted it into the stands, he chipped it to the keeper, again Brighton didn't complain.

Because he’s a ****

 

[jimharri]

No complaints so far. If we can get a third before the hour mark, we can start subbing with the game in Switzerland in mind.

 

[Haaland94]

Excellent all-around. Score another one, and rest a few. We have a tough week ahead.

 

[kenbelly]

Thank god Johnny stones is back, Bernardo buzzing around cleaning up, Doku and Foden flying…great half from the whole team.

 

[wolviedinho]

Stones and Rodri game control is allowing Doku & foden to shine.

Nicely taken goal by Haaland.

Overall we look good. Rodri no need for a stupid card. Petty from ref let’s hope it don’t matter in the end.

 

[oldius]

Rodri and Stones back together make everything tick and gives license to all of the creative players to do their thing. Brighton playing football makes a difference too, rather than just trying to shut the game down.

 

[Ken92]

Very good first half..need to get that 3-rd and get rodri out with that yellow card.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Milner’s first booking to come after 10 fouls just like the Liverpool days?

 

[RayCTID]

Again a needless booking for Rodri especially with the ref but overall a good half against a side that is still having a go.

Alvarez and someone had both pushed high. Think they were checking for hands to face or neck. It was a bit naughty by Julian tbh
