Brighton (h) post-match thread

3 points and a clean sheet

Shouldscored more

Mahrez totally ineffective

1) how on earth did we not get the pen for the foul on Foden??

2) why on earth did the Brighton player not get a 2nd yellow for a cynical block on (deBruyne?) late in the game to stop our attack??

I was going mad about that block, should have been a 2nd yellow no doubt!!! Ps it was a penalty all day long as well

Maybe there should be,after all a fixed team can build confidence and momentum and that leads to consistency and success.

Just look at the Rags,they have stumbled on a best 11 formation that has seen them over achieve.

Playing a consistent starting XI has its merits but City have gone down the route of having a strong squad of players of a largely similar standard and having a serious tilt at every competition so I don't see a fixed XI as the best thing for City as it stands.

Absolutely crazy that KDB didn't take the penalty.
Sterling needs to get his head out of his arse, he's been rubbish for weeks.

poor penalty. very poor. he needs dropping.

Same with Mahrez, offers nothing atm unless its poor teams.

Brighton played very well, came here for a point.

Has Pep said anything about the penalty?

said mary poppins, would score the next one. !

I notice MOTD followed Pep's lead saying how much Foden had played for a 20 yr old.
Obvs cant think for themselves.

I like Rodri but he’s no Fernandinho,during the second half forget who passed the ball to him middle of the park but he turned and just played it straight to a Brighton player no more than 3-4 yards away if that,how the fuck does that actually happen..

He is to slow, top of the stats for passing, 90, 90 percent are for passing sideways and back, not aware enough for me.

I don’t dislike Sterling he is a very capable player but his finishing is so unreliable he will never be a truly great player.

"THE MARGARET RUTHERFORD " of football. ( for older fans )

Because of how many easy chances our players are missing. All that Brighton pressure in the second half came from us not finishing the game off.

We miss chances the opposition didn’t create any so we deserve to lose points

They created a couple but had the same problem as us - poor finishing
