Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Sat 9th Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

 

[93.20]

If we keep a clean sheet, I will delete my account and move to Tanzania.

Set yourself up in Moshi. There's a nice little hill you could climb to get further away from the misery. Takes a couple of days to reach the top though.

"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.

I disagree that Gundo is broken, he's always a slow starter and usually picks up his levels after January. Kovacic is very bad retreating but also from a passing standpoint he is a level below Rodri and Gundo and we really need someone in midfield that has a full passing range and execution. Watch Kova closely next game, he takes longer to move the ball, is less expansive, can't thread a ball in behind all he does it pass sideways.

He's gone and he and Pep know it, it was a calculated risk for him to return, it's not worked out.

Even before last night I can't see anything but a Brighton win.

People keep banging on about past seasons and we never learn slagginng thr team etc...

This season is quite Comfortably the worst I have seen us play in the last 6 years.

Previous seasons we have played really well in games up to this stage and been unlucky with a few results. This season we have played well in dispatches. And we have got lucky with results in our favour!

Lack of spending
Players declining through age
Lack of quality
And injuries are contributing to where we are at the minute.

Unless things change I can see more bad results and poor performances.

We have allowed a huge part of our squad to grow old together, our last summer window was utterly bizarre for me but I do trust the execs of this club and their reasoning may well become more obvious in the next few days and weeks.

I don't believe we can turn this around with the players we have available. In my opinion we need to buy a replacement for Rodri to add energy and steel in the midfield and a new right back. Hopefully in January.
The injuries are crippling us as well. I think some are playing carrying injuries to get us through this time before the international break. If I am right, then not many of our squad will be going off to play for their country.
Rodri is a huge miss, as we all know. In the current squad no one can directly replace him or come close to doing so.
We have to support our boys and hope we have some fit, refreshed players after the international break to see us through to January.

 

[baggy]

2 banks of 4 and try to hit them on the counter... :|

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I reckon we will win.

There...I've said it.
