Match Thread | Brighton vs. Man City (24/05/23)

[phargrave]

Is this the same Brighton side that got done 1-5 by Everton…?

Not laid a tackle on Brighton for the last 25 mins.
Result doesn't matter but could get a hiding here if we keep let them run unchallenged right through to goal.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Wait till we bring the subs on second half, they'll battered us

We look hung over but this is a great game.
Probably ideal for us to shake off the cobwebs.
Brighton just want to play football. It’s great to see. And they’re pretty good at it.
A great test before two finals.

Win lose or draw, I’m enjoying this.

Not comfortable with Rodri at the back. The ball is constantly coming to him on his left, Brighton giving him no time and I think it's a problem.

Need to get the ball up the pitch and drive at them, but would be happy with a draw given it's a good runout and the result has little impact for us.

Fucking hell, Kolo looks like he is no stranger to a fish supper!

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

More likely it’s about Rodri in defence, the obvious variation of having a CB step into midfield in possession is to have 3 at the back and a midfielder who drops into a back 4 out of possession.

Yes. I have a feeling it’s an experiment for next year’s evolution.

 

[super_city_si]

Yes theyve been good but we really shoukd be 4-3 up. Weve missed some sitters

 

[FantasyIreland]

I’d say Bellingham would…Rice only really brings power for me.

Hes faster than many realise and his reading of the game is superb.

 

[ninjamonkey]

I know it doesn't matter but you can still take things from this. Lewis looks way too uncomfortable on the left, doing a lot of the basics wrong. Ortega is doing his best steffen impression tonight.

I'd get Bernardo off now, we just cannot risk a needless red card under and a suspension for the final under any circumstances. Leaving any player on the pitch with a yellow is asking for it. phillips on for him.

maybe get Charles on alongside stones and push rodri into his normal position to get a grip on midfield
