Match Thread | Man City vs Brighton (21/10/23)

[Chi-town blues]

Bernie and wooolian positioning has been vital brighton has no idea how to deal with their movement . Doku just send milner to retirement home and foden just gliding for fun .
rodri and stones minding the middle of the pitch like a boss.
too class football all around

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I maybe take off Rodri for Kovacic or Nunes as it's not worth potentially going down a man.

If an experienced DM can't go a half without picking up another yellow, we've got bigger problems. Sure, if we're comfortably winning on 70-80 mins, but I'd rather get this game won first.

 

[Bob Hope]

Anyone know what that prat with the whistle stopped the game for for over a minute for seemingly no reason? No idea in the ground as usual

Saw Alvarez get thrown to the ground

 

[Keeper!]

No complaints so far. If we can get a third before the hour mark, we can start subbing with the game in Switzerland in mind.

We have a free weekend next week so no worries for midweek ;)

 

[Gabriel]

Decent half but could still do better in the final third, where some of our decisions are either rushed or go missed completely. Game should already be out of sight.

 

[Essembe]

Would someone please direct me to a meandering river please?

Thanks so much

Stones and Rodri game control is allowing Doku & foden to shine.

Nicely taken goal by Haaland.

Overall we look good. Rodri no need for a stupid card. Petty from ref let’s hope it don’t matter in the end.

You have pretty much summed it up in very few words!

They were looking into a potential sending off for Alvarez. It was nothing.

Exactly what I was hoping for after the intl break and the shit performances before it.

Just what we need to get back into the groove.

More of the same second half please blues.

Alvarez pushed off their player and it was near his neck, var was looking for an excuse
