Match Thread | Man City vs. Brighton (15/03/25)

[Brewster's millions]

Given that the defence should almost pick itself, given the injuries, the lack of awareness and understanding between the back six is concerning.

You do have to wonder how much work we do on our defensive shape and indeed the individual performances of our defenders.

The way Khusanov has come in and immediately look head and shoulders our best and most natural defender, for all his obvious talent, reflects very poorly on our coaching team.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

The thing that strikes me the most is our inability to string 10 or 15 passes together these days.

 

[Draikin]

Lewis is coming too early in midfield, we need an option on the right to get the ball out

 

[axlgod]

Khusanov is some player.
Loved him just not giving a fuck and booting the ball into the Brighton player getting a goal kick.

 

[journolud]

Imo. Doku is Garbage

Well you’re entitled to opinion even if it is stupid

 

[Alexia_Ko]

I would take Savio off ten minutes after HT because he’s been criminally indecisive in front of goal

 

[deano ou812]

Just get over the line for the win,international break then Leicester midweek at home hopefully start to consolidate a top 5 finish then ..

 

[I remember the kool kats]

now just bring Kova pick on for Nico, Nunes on for Savino, then we lose 3-2 simples!

 

[spiny]

Not top quality but for once City are not being outrun or outfought.

 

[wolviedinho]

Not great but better than the last few games.

Nico, khus, marmoush, Haaland playing well.

The wingers again not doing much. Doku brilliant but can’t make it count. Savio poor.

Gundo doing ok aswell.

On this season is a decent showing so far but compared to previous standards not even close.

 

[super_city_si]

Not sure what to make of that. Second best for 70% but we created enough for 4 goals and could have conceded 3. Better the last 15.

 

[Dax777]

Kush best player that half

Nah Oh my Marmoush and Doku were better

 

[Stoned Rose]

Not sure what game you’re watching. Doku playing very well

He’s given the ball away about 18 times mate. Hasn’t produced one decent cross, no shots at goal.

That game.

 

[platty7]

Lewis needs to stop coming inside. It just clogs the middle and takes away an option on the right

He is only doing it because pep has told him to do it .

 

[mccity]

I think we've been alright. Brighton are a good team. But I'm a bit concerned how weak we still seem in the physical duels, Khusanov aside

 

[chesterbells]

A fully fit me walks into this team at the minute!

Raving doesn’t keep you that fit mate ;-)

 

[01cravend]

Kush best player that half

Pretends to be shocked

 

[blueballs84]

Still much prefer Eddie in goal.

Neither of our keepers are great shot stoppers but at least Eddie is a danger with his feet.

 

[madloaf]

He’s given the ball away about 18 times mate. Hasn’t produced one decent cross, no shots at goal.

That game.

But the waggly step over thing?!! It's amazing!!

 

[OntarioBlue]

Not exactly convincing in that half. We are really struggling to control the midfield, conceding possession too easily and not winning 50/50 balls. On the upside Doku is having a lot of joy. Gundo playing well imo.
