Close game

[–] notthatdramatic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If only they could score from that corner Would’ve been huge for Brighton to take a point at the Etihad

[–] scbeski@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Uhhh should've been at least 2.5-3 more mins there right? Ref not tracking the injury or the sub time properly

[–] FancyCrawdad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would love to hear more about how we're constantly favoured by the refs after that performance from Rob Jones. Gave just about everything Brighton's way

[–] MisterS1997@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s not a manc ref who’s bribed to go over an ref uae games. He’s not on your owners payroll so he didn’t give you every decision like the other refs

[–] emize@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

3 points all that matters.

Next game.

[–] punindya@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That was too stressful at the end for how much control we had throughout the match. Should have buried them in the first half itself.

[–] benc777@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Doku would have to be ahead of Grealish already? City look so much more threatening with Doku out wide.

[–] SeattleMatt123@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wasn't expecting a result, glad we played well and had a chance at a point. Get well Solly!!! UTA!

[–] Fifaneymar2535@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Graelish wont be anywhere near starting 11 with doku around, when graelish came on all he does it get the ball and pass it back

[–] lavender_r@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shit's won us the treble so can't be that bad lol

[–] Pasan90@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thing about grealish is that he don't loose the ball much.

[–] innit122@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sucks that we have no akanji for the Derby. Now we're stuck with ake/Gvardiol + Dias + Stones + Walker. We need better defenders smh

[–] It_hurtswhen_IP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

City ain’t what they used to be

[–] 2daMooon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

CiTy HaVe BoUgHt ThE rEfS!!11!!

[–] jerrie86@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Such a shit display in the second half. and not sure if Akanji deserved a 2nd yellow.

[–] Chiswell123@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It was definitely a yellow.

[–] Switchnaz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's rare to see a team of much lower expected quality dominate possession against a pep guardiola side but brighton played great second half.

[–] blazinrumraisin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ref lost the thread at the end there. Suddenly, every touch is a foul and a yellow card.

[–] JakeNutters@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wank in the first half, been crap every time Milner plays it's no a coincidence we came into the game when he was off.

A lot of poor performances in general but overall 2-1 loss away at City and managed to get them a red card not awful the injuries are more concerning given this game was a write off.

Now 5 games without a win so hopefully that changes against Ajax the schedule is a bit easier going forward now in the league.

[–] PowderEagle_1894@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No idea what De Zebri was thinking when playing Milner against one of the most quick and direct winger in the league

[–] Inmolatus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is Fati doing so far?

[–] It_hurtswhen_IP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He played very well tbh

[–] FraudCommission@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

why is Ederson benched?

[–] BadBehaviour613@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly wasn't the statement demolition I was expecting. Perhaps this year the title race could get interesting...

[–] EVANonSTEAM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Brighton are a good team, has everyone forgotten that?

[–] g0t-cheeri0s@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

First time I've watched them in a while. Their comfort in playing out the back with extremely tight passes was impressive. Mitoma too, such a joy to watch. Would not have been surprised if Brighton grabbed an equaliser.

[–] mister_greenman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They concede for fun, only the bottom three have conceded more than them.

[–] EVANonSTEAM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And? They have scored more goals than 18 other teams in the league; including City.

[–] luvvdmycat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Has Doku supplanted Grealish?

Doku was dangerous today.
