Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[kalouk]

I am too nervous to stress about who is playing just want this over with.

 

[Jacob Smith]

3 - 0 at half time would be enough to settle the nerves

I’d still want another early in the second half just to settle the nerves

We are city.its hard to get all those years of being us out of our system

Aye, I know all too well. I'm 53 and first had tickets at Maine Road with my Dad when I was 5 or so. I just remember when we won on the last days in the recent past, the fans all start to think the opposition is Barca or something. Mind you, admittedly the QPR game should have been A LOT less horrendous than it was until the last minutes. Wasn't it West Ham we won against on last day with Pellers ? I remember that pre match thread. People taking about Andy Carrol like he was Messi and speaking like West Ham were world beaters.

Who is that fucking idiot interviewing Pep and asking him what’s at stake??

you answered your own question

 

[Breadsnapper]

Over the shock of Mahrez starting, wouldn't be my choice but what do I know. Trusted Pep so far and I trust the boys in blue no matter where we play or in what league.
These boys combined as a squad are the best I've ever seen since my first game in 69.
Come on you blues.

They get paid a wage to ask puerile shite like that, a 5yo could ask better questions

 

[lonestay]

You could see peps eyes glaze over at the question !!

Just another thought here, if none of us saw this coming then I am sure that Brighton didn't either. They will have identified Bernardo as a threat from the right wing and will hev worked on now to negate him, now they have an hour to suss out what to do with Mahrez and now have to face Bernardo in the middle.

That's another point I was going to make . It could upset Brighton's defensive plan . Sheer variety. Risky but we are going to have take some risks . Better to do that with a player in the final third than in our own back line.
