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

[bugsyblue]

Lose world class players, sign a level below, play a level below. We are going to struggle this season and next unless we sign quality

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Time to go I think pep.
Best we ot any team will ever have.
But this is a joke getting

Come off it. We’re three games in.

 

[Blu1]

Tactics utter shite again! Zero energy

 

[Penworthamblue]

It's going to be a long fuckin season

 

[Cheesy]

Yep

Sorry but Pep has to go. He's been amazing, best ever etc. Brought us everything and we're forever greatful. But he's lost it and isn't getting it back.

Imaging Pep will get is back to where we were, is just dreaming. Not happening.

Have to say, I think I'm in agreement with you here.

For all he has done for us (and it's been amazing), we are NOT Pep FC.

Good luck selling the new seats out, we'll be lucky if we get anywhere near an attendance with this display week in week out.

 

[Gumzy97]

Struggle for top 4 at this rate.

 

[Kadour75]

How does this clown of Bob play for City ! Utter useless !

 

[wolviedinho]

I think it might be time.

Awful thought, but nothing lasts forever.

Can’t be thanked enough for everything the great man has done for us on and off the field but this team/system is so poor now.

The club must come first.

 

[kanovic]

Doku is an utterly trash footballer

Championship level

Our whole 11 is atm

 

[Bald fraud]

Stones

Can fuck off been fuckin terrible!

 

[Macca77macca]

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.

Stones is not past it

 

[Gray]

Absolutely nothing has changed since 18 months ago. People will catch on eventually. Fucking horrible.

Is anybody looking forward to the Derby and the Champions League.

 

[bluwes]

Dias comes on and we lose

Stones played the loose ball straight to a Brighton player and we’re immediately on the back foot

 

[Bluesince1979]

We are supposed to be an elite team with the best manager, and squad in World football. Can somebody then explain how Nunes constantly gets picked into this team and constantly gifts goals to the opposition. He is utter dogshit!!

Because we no longer have an elite coach. Football past him by 2 years ago. He shoulda gone after his head gouging melt down last year

 

[RiversideBlue]

Yep

Sorry but Pep has to go. He's been amazing, best ever etc. Brought us everything and we're forever greatful. But he's lost it and isn't getting it back.

Imaging Pep will get is back to where we were, is just dreaming. Not happening.

Still deserves more time after all he's done for us.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Who would he be subbed for? We named a bench with 3 CBs and Gundo on

Match made for Gundo.

 

[Newmoston1212]

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

What is it then? because he’s had enough money thrown at him bringing in bang average players

 

[Ian Latham]

All other top teams have improved we've at best stood still and more likely gone backwards.

The side is far too slow in all areas and we turn over the ball far too quickly. Clutching at straws but hopefully the International break will do us some good.

 

[City_Sean]

We've turned up second half and played at a snails pace. Guardiola has constantly referenced the evolution of the league to transitions and yet we can't defend a single one.

 

[Paul1970]

Apparently Grealish can't compete with Doku and Bobb.

Fucking bollox needs to be brought back .
