Match Thread | Brighton vs. Manchester City (31/08/25)

[I'm With Stupid]

I've never seen a clearer example of the referee letting the crowd get to him. Gradually throughout the game he's been giving more and more decisions their way.

 

[Mancity1980]

If we had put away another of those chances this game would have been over. If we had been on our game it would’ve have mattered because we would have got the job done anyway.

 

[dubblue]

No drive or desire to win this game. It’s a pathetic watch it really is

 

[Jwoody19]

These subs have given me instant anxiety.

 

[wolviedinho]

If you think the last 18 months were hard going you’d have exploded during the 90s

It was hard going but I’m talking about now not the 90s city. We all know what it was like.

 

[SiMCFC]

Fucking dire again, people will trot the usual shit out about stats blah blah, the footy is the same absolute crap we watched all last season. Well and truely no longer the top dogs of the PL. Champs League will be a shitshow as well no doubt.

 

[Claytop]

Anyone see us winning this?

 

[thyer64]

so far 4 points out of a possible 9 as it stands isn’t good enough

We make fun of the rags who are utter shite but they could leapfrog us next time and the arse or dippers could be 5 clear already

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

We've been utterly shite this half.

Never been so bored watching us play

 

[Tomblue]

Lewis for Nunes, that will change the game.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Just over 24 hours to sign 6 new players.

 

[waspish]

We so fucking easy to play against they close us down so easy because we labour on the ball far to long!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Fuck off ref!

 

[bugsyblue]

Anyone see us winning this?

No

 

[heslops barnet]

Bring on two defenders to win the game?

Save a point?

 

[pudge]

We've been utterly shite this 18 months

Agreed..

 

[Dax777]

Why remove all pace from the back at the same time?

They are both on yellows

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

If you think the last 18 months were hard going you’d have exploded during the 90s

The difference is all in expectations.

 

[PJM1891]

I am beginning to lean on the system.
We have signed good players not exactly world class but good enough.
If we cant convert them into a system that can beat Brighton , we need to look a little inwards.

I'm afraid Pep wont change the system. Feels like he will dig in just to prove he is right.

 

[CΛL]

We can only play well for half a game at most, that’s been evident in all three games thus far
