Brighton (A) | Post-Match Thread

He's a flat track bully who coasts when we're dominating, and continually gets exposed when the margins are tighter. Loses his individual battles, gives the ball away cheaply, and is positionally dreadful.

We'll, I think that's bollocks. There we have it.

All 3 goals in part responsible to Garcia Too slow and poor decision making. Thank fuck he's off in the summer.

Jeez, come on lads n lasses.
NOTHING riding on this game.
NOTHING.
Players with one eye on the biggest game of their lives. Scandous sending off set the tone. Not our strongest team by far. Brighton gave an extra 10% to fluff their crowd up.
So fucking what?
Christ on a bike.
Chill the fuck out.
Let them take the spoils ffs. It matters not.

Champions League Final baby...

The performance was meh tbh but if you are on the wrong end of that level of corrupt officiating what do you expect?

 

[ba22er]

Ref was a twat and the commentary was appalling. But we didn’t play well - the defence lacked composure not helped by Garcia who was gash. We must have had someone better than Garcia to bring on
Foden was good but Mahrez did very little. When we scored the second goal I thought we’d go on to win but as soon as they scored we seemed to lack belief. Dead rubber so who gives a fuck - just hope Gundog is ok

Unfortunately bringing on Garcia (as Torres replacement) meant we were actually playing with only 9. Garcia has no interest in MCFC, already on the Costa Blanca, can’t wait to get away and, quite frankly, the sooner the *king better. That said, losing against 9 wasn’t that bad but if league depended on it………

Please don't give Rodri a single minute in the final unless we're 3 up with 5 minutes to play.

Agree with you totally He’s simply not good enough as a midfielder. Gets caught all the time and makes stupid decisions instead of doing the basics. Been like it all season.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Brothers in arms. Two slow coaches in midfield. We need quick silky midfielders who can make through passes. These two slow us down to a crawl. Gundoguns goals is a one season wonder and just papers over the cracks

Funny how we've cruised to the League title with so many cracks.

Pep: “all the time when we win things we win it ourselves”

This is what he says when he is saying the officials are against us.

 

[M Gaudino]

I know it probably wasnt even a foul but smart players read the situation; your away at tin pot brighton, the ref’s a total gullible clean shirt just looking to jump on the bandwagon and theres a bunch of overexcited southern wankers giving it the full force of bias.

Dont even touch the opposition player and give the ref a chance to send you off - and its welbeck on his left foot with the ball bouncing high. The XG in that situation is almost negative

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Pep’s said he didn’t see any of the decisions

 

[I'm Blue]

Bottled it there Pep.

 

[brummie blue]

Pep had calmed down, interview rather disappointing.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never gave in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you everyone at City and thank you to the fans, especially those here on BlueMoon.
The cheating, son of an unknown father referee needs to be horse whipped and I don’t believe in violence but.... GGGRRR

Enjoy the rest of your evening fellow Blues. I am going for a calming cup of tea. :-)

I have to say, halfway through that I decided to stop joining in the live match forum because I'm shocked at how many fans do nothing but slag off everything we do wrong. I thought the likes of Neville was bad enough but he's got nothing on some of you lot.

I didn't want to see them out there killing themselves for a nothing game tonight with the league done and the CL final around the corner. Pep already knows who his team is, and let's be honest that was their cup final for the season. So I can take this defeat with ease.

I've always tried to be objective and if the ref and/or VAR is having a bad game I've given them the benefit of the doubt, but it was appalling tonight. Why was the stamp on Jesus not a penalty, yet we get those given against us? I get the ref making a mistake but why is it when one of our players is pulled down in the box it's not even looked at? I thought the whole point of VAR was to put all that sort of thing right, so it clearly doesn't work. Something's wrong, and tonight was a total farce. Even though he scored, Foden was pulled back three times and the player wasn't even spoken to; then he was fouled shortly after the goal. Gundogan's gone off injured but a kick on the knee isn't a red, but a tangle of arms is?

But all that I've come to expect. What I don't expect is so called fans expecting us to play at 100mph twice a week and slagging every player off who makes a mistake. Go try it. Nobody can perform at the top level every single game, and everybody makes mistakes. Given the position we were in 20 years ago I can take the odd poor game, the odd loss here and there, why can't you?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

When Danny Mills say it was no red card, a red card on Gundogan and a penalty on Jesus, you know you've been had over!

 

[paulsimpson]

Who? Pep said that to Potter?

Yes from what I can lip read but we will have to wait and see

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Lol @ pep doing the “didn’t see it” whilst highlighting all the incidents

 

[burning blue soul]

The only good thing to be taken from this game, is that the Chelsea strategy and tactics lads will be scratching their heads. Nothing at all for them to take from this game.
But perversely, our tactics lads can look at this game to see how we can cope better as 10 men.

He is shite

 

[Blue_eyes]

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

Judging by the bt commentary its just you mate, as it was a fantastic challenge by that lovable liverpool legend lalana, and of course.....meant more(dubious reffing).

 

[roach3]

WTF !!!!!!! ??????

watch the second half again
early on we had a throw in deep into their half
the flag went up straight away as soon as silva got the ball
i couldnt see any contact between silva or the defender so it must have been a foul
maybe i have to watch it again if i can be arsed
