Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[razman]

Sane didn't really impress vs Leicester , gave mahrez a chance to come on

 

[TueartsOHK]

What a time for Mahrez to prove himself by getting the winner. This is a big opportunity for him to win over the fans.

 

[PragueBlue]

It does mean Bernardo plays in the middle.

Probably. Knowing Guardiola though it might be Mahrez in the middle and Bernardo out wide.

 

[TonyM]

Any PMs going?

Paid for internet on my flight but as suspected sky go not working.

 

[mosssideblue]

We’d still rather play our strongest line up if it’s all the same.

It was only Newcastle, Leicester and Palace.

Well, you and other knockers will just have to suck it up as today he does form part of the strongest line up

 

[bobmcfc]

Mahrez will probably score today given the faith in him. If he does I will be very happy but I wish he would really show up, put himself our there and take people on

Until now he’s hid away, blew chances and generally played like a coward.

Time to step up !

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Plan C it is then shoot shoot shoot, the one good thing is it's unlikely we'll get a chance of a breakaway as we'll be camped on thier 18 yard line so his snail pace shouldn't be an issue.

Pep does like to live on the edge sometimes.....

 

[jamesha]

If City fail to win then Mahrez, rightly or wrongly, will be whipping boy. He needs to put in a shift today, take sensible options and prove Pep' faith in him is justified.

I am sure our away fans will support him - could not see Pep starting him if it had been a home game.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

At least give Mahrez the chance to fuck up before lambasting the poor fucker. Yes, he wouldn't be anywhere near the starting line up for me, but trust Pep, he's done ok up to now ;-) CTID

 

[Blu1]

Ha ha just love pep.

He must be thinking how can I stress the fans out a bit more today! Let’s play Mahrez! Lol

Mahrez will score he owes us from Liverpool game!

Cmon city

 

[PragueBlue]

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.

It won't take more than 10 seconds to decide what to do with Mahrez as he always does the same.

 

[scousemanc]

Right, that's it, 1st beer served. Resistance is futile

 

[mosssideblue]

Look let’s get behind the team regardless who plays and our views over Mahrez ( who I’m surprised myself is in the starting line up but there you go ) let’s not be to hasty if he starts hiding in the game then that’s the time to worry..

Exactly

I know but he always seems to do something a bit mad in these vital games. Anyway let's hope it works!!

 

[bert38]

Bernie in the middle-our best player. That's the game defining move right there.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Where are you blues drinking in Brighton? No hope of a ticket at the ground.
