16/5 Brighton, absolutely massive odds.

 

[RayCTID]

First time we are underdogs

 

[bumbleblue]

Win, we need to find our pride and bottle. C’mon City!

 

[chaddblue]

Unless we get two or three players back and Erling remembers how to score, it will be another embarrassment

 

[wolviedinho]

Chips r down lions coming roaring back.

Looking forward as always to watch the blues.

Don’t care what shape we are in, get stuck in and try to get the points. What’s the alternative, yap and moan. Nah we bette than this.

Going to go against logic and say a 1-2 win for city. The sobering defeats wont be lost on the players. Time to work hard and run that extra yard against Brighton.

 

[TFC]

More disappointing than any of the last 3 results will be if we don't see a fucking huge reaction from the lads here.

Spot on wolvie , we have done it many times before and we can do it again.

Crippled with injuries but who knows how we would have preformed had we all hands on deck in the past three games we might have still lost all three.

Pep and the team won't give up on the season despite what is going on and off field in the courts.

Look I am as disappointed as any blue I am sure at the last three results and the performances overall to date this season and the shine of comfortable and exciting wins are lacking at present and doubts are definitely creeping in.

Looking somewhat longer term we do need to finally reset the side as a number of stalwarts are past their prime , too injury prone and not up to the rigor required for long enough.

I can't see us doing much in January but over the summer we need to bring in 3-4 that will form the basis of the next level required along with those first teamers that have both "youth" and experience still in sync to stay in contention for trophies.

 

[SatOnTheWall]

Eleven men behind the ball and counter attack. Pick two or three fast attackers, Doku, Foden, maybe Savinho, the rest defensive players. Job done.

I know Pep is not going to do this.

Come on, City, sort it out.

 

[Bluewars II]

If we play Gundo and Kova against Brightons midfield we are asking for a beating. I think Brighton press the most out of teams in the league.

Gundo is capable, he just needs help because his legs are gone. Kovacic has the legs but he cannot dictate play.

It's either play Gundo and drop Lewis for Walker. Or have Lewis play the 'Stones' Role next to Gundo.

Brighton will not sit back with eleven men behind the ball so hopefully we'll create more chances, I'd put Foden and Kdb behind Erling and Bernardo RW Savinho LW.

"Gundo is capable, he just needs help because his legs are gone. Kovacic has the legs but he cannot dictate play."

Neither is true.

Gundo is broken and Kovacic with the ball is a very good player but when he loses it and has to retreat he is shocking.
