Probably :) But he needs to go full force football-wise immediately!Grealish is still staggering about singing Rhythm is a dancer
No Dias and Grealish on the bench? I wonder why.
Are they injured maybe? I don't get it.
Dunk and Ferguson are on the bench and it still a strong line upBut our line up worries me.
Is that really going to be it though? I reckon he'll basically play in a midfield 2 again. Good experience for him, but I think clubs definitely target his lack of physicality. And Brighton have one of the best midfields in the league. Hope he wins the battle.Lewis on the left should be fun. He is becoming the new Kimmich.
Picked up a knock on Sunday.Yeah, no Lewis Dunk? Why's that?
Bizarre lineup. Phillips, gomez, palmer and alvarez should all be starting every league game surely? To have rodri at centre back is weird too. shouldn't be playing at all for me but I don't see the point in playing him there, he's never going to play that under normal circumstances.
Meh, whatever. Pep knows best. Just don't get any injuries and I couldn't give a fuck.
Nothing like match fitness mate.Brighton seemingly happy to go lighter and save legs for Villa game, regardless of superior goal difference.
Shocked how strong we've gone.
No injuries please!!!
Not exactly, no. Brighton create ‘counter attacks’ from their own possession. It’s a full-on transition without the opponent ever actually attacking. They bait the press and then have a series of different rehearsed passing sequences to just carve their way through it in an instant. If anything WE have been copying them a bit as we played very De Zerbi esque at home against Arsenal. Ever since Pep started praising Brighton at every opportunity, we’ve incorporated little bits of what they do.
True, on the physical battle. He will have to provide legs and muscle for Gundogan here, so a big test. If he make it through, he should be something to watch next season.Is that really going to be it though? I reckon he'll basically play in a midfield 2 again.

With Lewis and Walker starting do you think it might be Walker at centre back with Lewis at RB and Rodri playing in his usual CM position ?Bizarre lineup.

That’s why I put it in inverted commas. It looks like a counter attack in style but it isn’t.How can it be classed as a counter attack if you already have the ball?
For me, that's just old fashioned drawing the tackle and making the pass.
Good to hear. We Appreciate good teams who play good football.Your fans are very decent Charlie, not a bad word from any of them, a credit to your club
It’s about £3.50 isn’t it. not worth the commentators getting their knickers in a twist about.They won't be totting up the price of City's bench tonight.
Been to the Goldstone loads of times pal but never here, it’s a nice stadiumGood to hear. We Appreciate good teams who play good football.
WE know our place and are just grearful we have a team to support after what we went through.
