Honestly didn’t see much difference between the tug by Haaland and the tug on Bernardo in the first half. Oh silly me, one was on a City player and one was by a City player.

 

[Millennium]

Hope Foden and Stones are OK.

Shame we'll never see another premier league goal off a corner given that will no doubt be applied consistently.

Will transform the game like that three players approaching the ref rule that’s been so consistently employed…. Just against us.

Really entertaining game pity we couldn't win it but well played Brighton.

VAR a fucking joke .
Ref gave the goal then the **** on VAR stitched the ref up telling to go to the screen . Defender didn’t defend half a dozen of one and all that .

It was a foul. He pulled him back.

 

[Baker Boy]

Can we go back to talking about the CL ticket fiasco now?

Looked like a game the players had little interest in to me. Brighton very good but I’m sure had we needed points we’d have got them.

 

[AdamMarrett]

Enjoyed that game, was really looking forward to it with no pressure on it and it delivered. Brighton play some great football, and are well managed, fair play to them for getting European football for next season.

As long as no one picked up any injuries that's all I care about.

Beyond ridiculous to disallow that.

Only looking at Haaland and ignoring the defender.

See that 10 times a game by defenders and fuck all is given.

And that’s the frustrating part. It’s a foul in isolation, but when defenders do that 20 times a game to an attacker and it never gets picked up on, it’s total bollocks.

 

[OB1]

De Zerbi seems like a very good manager

I doubt there’s many above him on City’s current short list of Pep replacements.

If that’s a foul to disallow a goal then by the same token it’s a penalty the other way round

 

[ShedDweller]

Brighton are really good but fuck me the Sky coverage is like they've won the world cup. Its nauseating...

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Why? I thought it was ok given the circumstances. Brighton excellent again.

Yes but thought Ortega was dreadful at playing out, Gundo went sideways all the time, Mahrez poor and Erling missed 2 good chances.
Goal disallowed was wrong and Brighton played terrifically

 

[ninjamonkey]

Said a draw right from the off, suits both sides. We ended the game with 1 natural defender in the pitch.

Proper pre-season formation that. Never going to be much to take from that 3 days after title celebrations, some of them will be feeling it, grealish was probably too pissed to travel. Concerned for foden and stones, literally the only thing we didn't want, hopefully both precautionary and nothing more than a niggle get through 1 more then we can look towards making history.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Mahrez waste of time

 

[Millo]

Haaland has missed so many chances in the last few games, I hope he is more clinical in the upcoming finals.

 

[Andouble]

Foden and Stones picking up knocks so for me it’s a disastrous night.

 

[citymad]

Hope Pep was saying to Dezerbi hang in there. You’ll be the next City manager.
Very impressed with Brighton. In the end we got to be happy with the draw after they peppering our goal for fun.

 

[Bob Hope]

Haaland and Kev can not play Sunday

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Rico Lewis is going to be special. That's my take from tonight's game. I knew he was good but some moments tonight made me realise just what a talent he can be.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Mahrez waste of time

He’s done his self no favours, Phil streets ahead if it’s not Jack & Bernie out wide, it’s a worry for the fa cup as I think he’ll start in that

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Foden and Stones picking up knocks so for me it’s a disastrous night.

What injuries!
