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

[Gabriel]

Akanji and Gundogan are there because?…

Club gets a really easy ride in press conferences because the journalists are too thick to ask meaningful questions and allow Guardiola to waffle like a politician.

 

[s1ty m]

we won’t get top 4.
Not a fucking chance.

Trafford saves a lot, Donnarumma won’t be enough to save us.

We need to clear out all the attackers barring Haaland.

Top 4. Lol. Agreed. Absolutely no chance. Top half looks a stretch.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

We are fucking shite. Second half performance completely unacceptable. As soon as Brighton got their first goal the writing was on the wall.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Abomination!

He’s lost it

 

[chris85mcfc]

Absolutely finished we really are

Some of the character shown this 2nd half has been disgusting

The laughable thing is, there's blues on here that actually see the positives in this bunch, and think things are rosey

We are in an absolute mess at this club at the moment, and we are sleep walking into abyss

 

[madloaf]

Pep FC fans will catch on soon enough.

 

[HolisticJim]

Including Haaland unless we are changing style.

We don't play to any of his strengths

 

[Damanino]

2 weeks off to think about this for Pep. and then Amorim might outfox him too???????????
fucking hell

 

[BigJoe#1]

Adios Pep?

I don't think he will have the resilience to keep going TBH.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Arsene Wenger 2.0

 

[Tomblue]

Yep, time is up im afraid. Management both on the pitch and in terms of transfers is shambolic.

 

[mexico1970]

The buck has to start at the top, we need a big change.

 

[simonr555]

Weakest mindset I have ever seen. Some of those players are a disgrace

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s over and that ok with me.

Last season and now this season.

It’s all went blah

 

[dublin-blue]

Below the rags now

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Should’ve signed a right-back and a winger this summer. We’ve brought this on ourselves.

 

[Cambo]

Fucking hell

Massive space in the middle of the pitch to just stroll into

That goal doesn’t happen if Khusinov is on the pitch. Time to stop making excuses for some of these players and Peo. Not good enough. Out fought, out run and out coached.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Well that was shit.
Can't see an improvement on last season.
Unbelievable that Khusanov goes off, all the pace goes with him and we leave ourselves wide open on our left
Edit: that graphic from Sky after the 60th minutes says an awful lot

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

We’re a fucking disgrace. Fuck pep

 

[Dazzle84]

Absolute lack of a response to their equaliser was bad enough but to then just passively allow them back into the game

Utter shit
