Brighton post match thread

[Stoned Rose]

Very pipe and slippers performance.

Rodri was very good. Reads the game very well.

Brighton are much improved and played some really nice football.

Lapote went down like Mendy, hopefully not as bad but we'll see.

Shame Foden wasn't brought on rather than Gundog.

Comfy third gear 3 points.

Kun great finish, Fern superb when he came on.

Agree about Foden as Gundogan is shite.

Agree about Rodri, he’s very accomplished, just never gives the ball away.

If it is what we fear, our strength and conditioning staff really need to assess what we’re doing. No other club anywhere near what we’re contending with.

In all fairness what is a strength and conditioning staff member going to do with a knee on knee clash when a defender goes into a tackle with his wrong leg presenting?

We scored some lovely goals today!

Played quite well overall but lapses in concentration lead to mistakes or Brighton getting into our box. It’s like we’re still not up and running yet and it’s nearly September. Shows you how ridiculous these pre-season tours are.

Rodri and Mahrez were excellent!
Kun’s goals were superb!
Silva dictated the tempo and thought Walker was very good.
Otamendi was fine apart from not taking it down a couple of times and just hoofing it.
Fernandinho was great when he came on!
de Bruyne and Raheem were very hit and miss today.
Ederson made another important save at 1-0!
Zinchenko was poor today. When is Mendy back?

Agree about Foden as Gundogan is shite.

How is the player rated above all other players in Europe from February onwards last season “shite”?!

If he was shite, the best coach in the world wouldn’t be playing him!

If Foden ever gets to Gundogan’s level from the Spurs home CL tie last season we’ll be lucky. That was the best individual performance by any City player last season.

Seemed to be some kind of protest going on in Piccadilly gardens, maybe about 200 people. What was going on?

It was about genocide, but can’t remember which country ( green and white flag )

Concerning if Laporte as gone to hospital, if it's ligament damage they usually have to let the swelling go down before being able to scan it. Hospital generally means there is a concern about a break or fracture.

Keeping my fingers crossed for him.

Better to be a break than a snapped ligament.

Credit to the stewards in the south stand today, had a few of them stationed on the aisles doing simple ticket checks to ensure everybody was in their correct seat. I’m assuming it’s after the trouble against spurs and this helps ensure they can identify everybody by their seat and punish any offenders. Good move in my view, I’m not bothered if people want to stand with mates but must admit it gets ridiculously crowded at the barrier for certain games

Haha! He was awful today

Agree defensively he wasn’t great today.
