Match Thread | Brighton vs. Manchester City (31/08/25)

[East Level 2]

Why don’t our defenders ever just put the ball out into touch?

Because that's naughty as we concede possession, and possession is all that bloody matters.

 

[dubblue]

Can’t even put pressure on them…it’s woeful

 

[Chak19]

Apparently Grealish can't compete with Doku and Bobb.

 

[deano ou812]

The era is well an truly over.
Playing for nothing more than top 4 at best.
Zero reaction to the equaliser.

Top4 ! Forget it be lucky to finish in a European spot ..

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Never mind winning anything, we won't even be competing. Not one of these players are playing for us, the manager or the club and this is being fed down by pep who no longer as a plan A never mind a plan B. Fucking clueless

 

[chesterbells]

He's been here a season too long.

Tbf, I think he’s always said he would go if he felt the players were no longer responding to him.

 

[eyalluvitt]

The effort of our players is laughable, every team runs over us

 

[Beanhead]

We are so fucking limp.

 

[madloaf]

Oh look, that fucking useless dwarf at RB is throwing his arms about again.

Yeah. He's the difference. Fucking hell man see the bigger picture

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

No goals in this City side apart from Haaland. Other teams know it.

And Haaland misses far too many as well.

 

[PepsFleece]

Need a CB, RB and a world class proven winger.

The finish will be the same as last season otherwise.

 

[VOOMER]

Every manager seems to have Peps number nowadays…..we’re just so predictable with no Plan A,B or C

We have lost.
Kyle
KDB
FFS

Now past it are.
Gundy
Ake
Akanji
Stones.

We had the best form from
Raheem
Sane
Jesus
Z.

Doku, Savinho, Bobb and Marmoush are no where near the quality and consistency of those mentioned.

We have replaced (willingly), quality with average and overpriced players.

Our problem remains with the people controlling recruitment and those unable to get Pep to commit to another 5 years.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Whose bright idea was it to offer Dias a new contract?

 

[B\connellblue]

Sorry am sick of this shit slow play passing it to slow players holding the ball for to long! the players need to fucking be much better

The buck stops at the manager . It's his tactics

 

[Dewey6]

No leaders, no self belief and a management hell bent on finding bargains in the transfer market. Well done to all involved.

Surely Bobb and Bernardo are given next week off, woeful displays.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

WTYF was that?...Brighton player limped past 4 of our guys in midfield...no challenge

 

[Great Kompany]

Arsene Wenger 2.0

This is what I was afraid of. That pathetic incessant arsenal tv melodrama after each turgid display and nearly losses against the mid level team ( check todays match) and comprehensive defeats against big 6 ( check last match)

 

[kunaguero10]

We are fucking miles off it, absolutely miles

 

[heslops barnet]

Pep’s football hasn’t been found out. This has got absolutely nothing to do with his usual way of playing.

Players just aren’t good enough anymore

 

[hoppy]

We are getting exactly what we deserve here. Nowt.

No shape, no plan.
