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

[Haaland94]

Why have Akanji/Gundo on the bench instead of Divine Mukasa?

They will be staying knowing full well Pep will play them plenty after the window closes. Derby loss incoming...

We should have put an attacking option from the academy on the bench or ECHEVERRI :).

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Apparently Grealish can't compete with Doku and Bobb.

If he put his mind to it he could

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

All good things come to an end

 

[B\connellblue]

We have lost.
Kyle
KDB
FFS

Now past it are.
Gundy
Ake
Akanji
Stones.

We had the best form from
Raheem
Sane
Jesus
Z.

Doku, Savinho, Bobb and Marmoush are no where near the quality and consistency of those mentioned.

We have replaced (willingly), quality with average and overpriced players.

Our problem remains with the people controlling recruitment and those unable to get Pep to commit to another 5 years.

5 years.? His reign is over , why can people not see this.

 

[baggy]

Worst squad we've had for a decade this.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Never mind the score, this has been one of our most sleep inducing performances that I can remember. I am beyond bored of watching this shite for two fucking years. The scary thing is that I have no suggestions in my own head any more because Pep has actually done the changes that I (and many others) have wanted. It’s starting the feel rotten

 

[Claytop]

As bad as last season this second half.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

What a dreadful game. I just don’t see how we get out of this malaise. Big changes are needed.

 

[Mentis]

Getting substituted? Just go down, pretend to need treatment, and waste more time

 

[Lincolnshire Blue]

Tbf, I think he’s always said he would go if he felt the players were no longer responding to him.

I dont think its the players responding to him, his tactics that brought us so much success has been well and truly nullified now but yet we dont move on

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

It was coming.
Top 4 will be a struggle again.

We are a midtable team at best

 

[Gazza]

We need to get back to ticky tacky, the only style of play that Pep really knows.

 

[Micky Blue]

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

I’ll take that Pep needs to question himself on this.
But the signings have had fuck all impact.
Ffs we need a RB and he couldn’t get us one.
We need a winger who can do something and he couldn’t get us one either.

Plus all the deadwood he’s failed to get rid of.

 

[RiversideBlue]

40 points looks a long long way away with this disinterested manager and team

Shouldn't this be on red cafe

 

[waspish]

we need to get tough or we will be fighting for top 5

 

[NptonBlue89!]

It’s unbelievable Everyman and his dog can see 60mins in the outcome that will happen we are broken, regardless of chances, we are below United and I don’t care it’s only three games in, I’ve been pep in all this time but can’t really see it changing this year don’t know what’s more frustrating the constant loses or the way it’s so obvious it’s going to happen

 

[CΛL]

I cannot believe we gave Dias a new contract, he’s easily our worst centre half, easily.

 

[kanovic]

300million spent since January and for what? Feel we are even worse

 

[Jwoody19]

We’ve become an embarrassment. Don’t mind losing one bit, it was all we did when I was growing up but this set of players, so called “winners” haven’t got a set of bollocks between them - now every team in the league knows if they press us we will make mistakes and let them score - and show absolutely no desire to fight back. Pathetic.

 

[lee one pen]

It’s like we have football tarets

Good luck selling the new seats out, we'll be lucky if we get anywhere near an attendance with this display week in week out.

the daft cunts think they can do what they like and sell the ground out. We are not utd
