Thank God City aren't playing Brighton in the FA Cup final. They're a very good team.

They are indeed. And better than the other lot. But that game wasn't a true measure of the teams against each other. It was about maintaining momentum for us, and for them crossing the Europa line. Towards the end both teams just saw it out.

An excellent workout to keep us focused.
Hopefully the same on Sunday to keep us tuned in for the rags next week

Look at the movements their players make on build up and when their keeper has the ball. This is on another level, Pep is spot on.

If Pep ever goes… Robert De Zerbi should the number 1 target for the job. Period.

100% this

Sounds a bit entitled that, talking about taking another club’s staff.

Would imagine most staff are taken from another club. Talented people don’t tend to be sitting around unemployed for long

Brighton are a good side so how the f*k did the Rags beat them at Wembley?

Would've liked to have seen more pressure on Steele here, and definitely someone tighter to Enciso. Hindsight though..

They collectively shit themselves and got stage fright

Phil doing his best David Silva impression by literally running rings around Brighton was my personal highlight of the match. Someone has kindly put his best bits together in this tweet:
