After such a great start it was disconcerting how we fell apart. Everytime Brighton attacked they looked like scoring, particular in the second half. Only Gundo, Bernie and Phil emerged with any credit. The red card I'm not sure. Wellbeck was always going to play for it, somebody was grabbing someone's arm but it was hard to tell who. It should have been a red for the Gundo shocker. Talking of shockers we have the officials and I include var in that. The club really has to say something they were an utter disgrace tonight.

Talking of disgraces......I give you Brighton. In a nothing game and knowing we have a champions league final coming up they were a bunch of utter thugs,kicking any of our players within booting distance, allowed to get away with it all match of course.

The game turned on us having to fetch Garcia on and Rodri's inexplicable pass straight to a Brighton player when we'd just gone 2-0 up. Ten minutes more and they'd have lost heart, instead it's 2-1 and the crowd are up for it. Unforgivable error.

Garcia. In Spanish and English there are no words that do it justice to describe how bad this lad is. Brighton targeted his side all the time and no wonder. He is shocking.

People night say it's a nothing game and it was,but we don't want to start losing form, rhythm and confidence on the cusp of our biggest game of the season.

Rodri is a weak link at present. If he starts in the final we are very vulnerable. Not the player to pull you through a tough patch of late.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Yup.

In real time I thought Nivea played the man first. In slow motion it was even more obvious.

We all know why VAR didn't give it.

BENT.

He went over the ball and took his foot.
Great tackle my bollox. BT were embarrassing tonight.

Can’t wait for the summer.

Remember guys and repeat after me (as advised by Peter Walton):

Tackling over knee height with your studs connecting right on the knee when someone is flying in at you at full speed is not dangerous play if your leg is slightly bent.

Try telling stones that

 

[ysmsa]

Grealish would be an excellent addition. Not sure about Kanye.

Getting your Kane's and your Kante's mixed up there mate

Kanye wouldn't take that shit tonight :- )

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I agree. Also feel like that bald twat of a ref may not let Fern do what Fern does.

Absolutely

 

[Utter bobbins]

Garcia thinks it is funny missing that chance?

Not half as funny as watching that useless **** leave.

Yawn

 

[JewelZee]

How the fuck does Garcia get a shirt on this team. Pep didn't dress Walker thinking he wouldn't need a right back and Joao gets red...I don't care if they're both lefties I would have brought LaPorte in and moved Stones to right back...

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

the linemans given a foul throw ????? from 40 yards away ??????

Foul on the Brighton player.

 

[ancoats]

Yep

if newcastle can get 2 pens for less then its a stone wall pen for city and jesus

 

[Bluemanc100]

How do we know which angles it was reviewed from? That’s a part of the problem.

It has to be all of them..

 

[marco]

Gundogan's health the only important thing out of this match.

any news,if not when are we likley to hear

 

[lust overlord]

Brighton were doing their damndest to win that game.
Fair enough they owe maximum commitment to their supporters.

The referees and var officials though?
Some of the worst and baffling officiating I've seen for a long while.

 

[FAManCity]

That was a combination multi cluster fuck up with the Referee as its centrepiece.
Cancelo's foul was foolish but only a yellow in the context of the numerous ABH tackles from behind that Brighton were getting away with. The hapless Garcia was a mistake for me. Laporte should have been on but in his defence Garcia had zero cover in front of him.
Mahrez was not really interested and contributed little (however according to many he'd earned a night off so that's OK but he could have passed the shirt to Jesus) presumably Dias and Phil had not got sufficient credits to do likewise.
Rodri made a bad mistake but the domino effect it set off at the back was worrying.
When needed Ederson did a passable impression of Neville Southall in his late 50's.
The officiating was incompetent, inept and a stench of corruption in it as was the commentary I tuned into.
I think we went there thinking it was a dead rubber and it was till the ref intervened.
Stick 10 past Brighton next season as retribution.

With 10 men and Laporte is could have been.

Foden Gündo/Ferna Bernardo Mahrez
Zin Rodri
Laporte Dias Stones
Ederson

Basically , a 3-2-4-0 in possession.

 

[MillisleBlue]

If ever an Official's handling of a sporting event needed investigating...

 

[chaddblue]

Imagine if we still needed points to win the league

mind you VAR wouldn’t have been so bent. The PL have only instructed them to favour the home teams in the dead rubbers

 

[ancoats]

Foul on the Brighton player.

i think he give a foul throw because brightton a throw -inn

 

[cookster]

Was it just me or was that a stone cold penalty on Jesus.

Nailed on.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Anyone got any idea what Potter did for the first goal???
