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

[Pingu the Penguin]

Out coached out fought out thought

Nah. They’ve been very average. That’s what makes it worse. Beaten by a poor side

 

[come-on-barney]

Hugo Viana

its on him

Give over, the manager and board need to take a look at themselves.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

More to the point.

Hey!!! ;-)

 

[bugsyblue]

Look at our drive and determination to get a point! Fucking hell

 

[Lincolnshire Blue]

Addressed absolutely fuck all from last season

 

[Ajm1985]

Second goal from Nunes flank -

He's on the bench

 

[I'm With Stupid]

7 minutes. Normally 7 minutes to get back into the game. More like 7 minutes to stop it becoming 3 today.

 

[pudge]

I don't know what they do in training but it can't look good, it absolutely baffles me that Pep and the coaches think we play well. It's absolutely shite

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Pep turning into Wenger at his later stages at Arsenal...can;t see what is in front of him

 

[PJM1891]

Who are realistic candidates to take over from Pep.

 

[balotellishaircut]

We have a manager who can’t play on the break when leading, shut the door on your way out.

 

[thyer64]

We are fucking below the shit rags who had. Tougher opening 3 games than us ffs

 

[OL2Blue]

Ah it’s not a decent result particularly after last week. It’s fine if our ambition is top 4/5 but we’re not winning the league with results like this

It would be a good result now

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Not even surprised we have lost it in this 2nd half

Piss poor

 

[East Level 2]

Where's the turd-polisher who said there were loads of rags on here? We're not rags we're unhappy because our team doesn't have a fucking clue.

 

[Gray]

That new North Stand will look magnificent with no bugger in it.

 

[chesterbells]

Comical backline

And midfield, second half.

 

[mark ( blue army )]

You have to laugh or you’ll cry. This team has just dropped off a cliff in the last 18 months and nothing looks to of changed. Long way back to the top for us.

 

[hertsblue]

If there are any city fans not questioning if Guardiola is the right manager going forward then you have your heads in the sand - he need ms to go and go soon

This.
Been a brilliant 10 years but last 18 months he has had no answers, no player has improved and his tactics are now dated. Most teams with pace and intensity will do us unless we have one of those rare days where we put chances away but the squad is shocking quality wise, top 8 level these days.

 

[dickie davies]

City now remind me of Arsenal in Wenger's final years
Decent players, capable of putting a team to the sword but have a real soft underbelly and only hoping for CL qualification
