I fancy us to win well tonight, 1-3 City

 

[MadchesterCity]

A comfortable 0-18 win would really calm my nerves.

What about the second half?

I’m a little nervous about today but if we score first then don’t concede with their first shot I will calm down la

 

[SebastianBlue]

What about the second half?

If we score first and then don’t concede I reckon we’ll win.

 

[Gorbachev]

Control FC

 

[aka blue jambo]

A few leaks

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Typical. We spend all week debating Grealish or Doku and Pep decides to play neither.

Not sure I like that team to be honest.

 

[Agueroooooooooooo]

Encouraging random stats,

• Brighton are one short of 100 Premier League defeats - their first loss in the competition was at home against Manchester City in August 2017.​
• The Seagulls have won only six of their last 26 league games.​
• They need to win their remaining six fixtures to equal last season's final points total of 62.​
• Brighton have failed to score in all three of their midweek Premier League games so far in 2024, drawing 0-0 with both West Ham and Brentford and losing 4-0 to Luton.​
• Albion have scored just four goals in seven Premier League matches since beating Sheffield United 5-0 in February.​
• Danny Welbeck has failed to score in his 18 Premier League appearances against Manchester City, for five different clubs: Sunderland, Manchester United, Arsenal, Watford, Brighton.​

Gone for the extra midfielder, don’t dislike it.

Hopefully Kev is on it.

[Claytop]

Surprised at no Grealish though tbf, maybe he thinks enough control with Kova aswell.
