Match Thread | Man City vs Brighton (22/10/22)

In our slow first 10 minutes it seemed there was no one wanting the ball upfield.

Another thing…well we’ve all noticed the lads struggle with experiments Pep tries

The ball is in front 3m ahead and already lost while his leg is extebded going to the left. Makes zero sebse if you are going for the ball you are sprinting ahead, not extending your leg to the left. Imagine this was Salah and Liverpool and you would never say that

Absolute rubbish.

Gross pushed in back then Dunk tripped him up for good measure.

As sure as a penalty as you'll ever see

Tim Sherwood on Sky said we should have had two pens but the so called one on Grealish wasn`t.

Why wasn't the ref asked to view the trip on erling

Brighton has actually made it really hard by pressing us from the top. We haven't seen this much pressure in a while. It's good practice for when we see Arsenal, you know our Ex-Assistant Manager will demand a full press when they play us

And it probably be a title chasing affair. So thanks Brighton

Yes its an interesting approach cos its a fairly static press in that that arent pressuring the ball but encroaching enough to block the passing lanes.

Well at least we know what Shearer will be saying on MOTD later. Bernie bought it.

Fuck off Fowler; you were fat and you were lazy AND you're a biased scouse cvnt!

Again VAR is the talking point. And it was brought in to stop discussions.

I simply want VAR to go away. But it won’t happen.

Without VAR it wouldn’t have been a penalty.

100%. The Bernardo is a bit of a werid one. Probably a pen but wouldnt have been surprised if they’d not gone back to it

How the first one on Haaland wasnt reviewed is bizarre

I don't know what people were watching, Bernardo dribbled Dunk and the latter stuck his leg out and caught him, yes Bernardo threw himself but that's what everyone does these days, I've seen far softer ones given.
