Brighton (A) Post-Match Thread

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Zin has done fairly well in a position that simply isn’t his. That’s the most generous you can be.
Riyad did some good things last night, but by God he’s wayward with his shooting.
If Garcia leaves it will be a much more serious matter than Sané leaving. And I really rated Sané.

Agree, dont know or cant see what he brings to the game. He doesn't seem to do much wrong but then again he doesn't seem to do much right..

That's a dreadful quote. He has a great ability to control the ball and can make some very accurate passes and has a half decent cross. Seems settled in that passing game with Silva etc. Has a good attitude for me, too.

Difficult to be critical of any player post match. Thought Garcia Walker Rodri Mendy & BSilva performances may have pleased Manager the most. Brighton under Potter do try to play the game well & credit for that but against us, it was borderline reckless. Pity KDB didnt get an assist, particularly when he pinched the ball & fed jesus but his shot blocked onto bar. Mahrez is generally greatly improved and played well again. Just when inside the box he needs to be more aware of all his options. Hope Txiki can persuade Garcia to stay, hes not the tallest or the quickest but his awareness, positioning and confidence on/with the ball is outstanding for the minutes he has played. With a short preseason, finalising x4 centre backs for next season is not going to be a simple process.

Consummate from start to finish arguably our best away performance in the league this season.

Secured 2nd place and hopefully with a good outcome re Monday's announcement all is well for the remainder of the season.

Given we will be playing some games until a short timeline for the new season that augers well for us.

Players if they knew CAS's ruling played like it was good news lets hope.

Big smile there from Pep when asked about Monday! What’s happening on Monday? We’re not playing are we? ;-)

Hopefully, the biggest win of the season (fingers crossed) with Sheikh Mansour revealing a mosaic of Khaldoon, City Rabin and Prestwich Blue.

Just got up and having a brew reading BM, quite relaxed, and then I read Mendy and contract extension in the same sentence. Now I feel tense and irritable again and I am going back to bed. No, no, no the guy is likeable but a goal a game for any decent opposition.

What a load of crap, if Mendy is so shit how come Salah has been very quiet and done virtually nothing when playing against him?

 

[daztrueblue91]

Swap Aguero for Jesus and Garcia for Stones and that is probably our strongest starting 11.

It just goes to show that we don’t need a huge rebuild in the summer. A top class CB and a striker who can play out wide and we’re good to go.

Just watching the highlights of your game on MOTD. Love the little exchange between Pep and Sterling at the end when Pep jokingly takes the matchball off him! Good to see bits of humour in the modern day game like that and demonstrates a great rapport between players and manager

Missed those remarks and name of co commentator but compared with the crap our broadcasters come out with l would have the NBC guys any time.
I dont know what they are like with the rags or dippers though. Sky always paints a picture that everyone worships them.

Beglin on nbcsn in midweek said, ''I've worked on all the City games since the return and have to say it's been a pleasure and a privilege to watch this team.''

IF......we are exonerated on Monday what implications could that have on our 2014 verdict & sanctions.

Could any fines be repaid......could quantifiable commercial damages be claimed.....are there any other damages arising that could and should be contested.

If not, does anyone think that the club will seek a public statement from Uefa detailing why we’ve been exonerated, declaring us innocent of all charges and wiping the slate clean back to 2014 ?

Pep seems to have been given carte blanche to tease the media with regular references to playing in the CL next season, IF we are successful, tomorrow will rank amongst the biggest and most important victories in our recent history.
