***Brighton v Champions Official Match Thread***

[branny]

Every time I've watched Enciso he couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo but that was a belter

[nottsblue]

Half time can’t come soon enough

[Nigels Tackle]

embarrassingly sloppy

[Sideshow Bob]

have the teams switched shirts before kickoff??

[carl_feedthegoat]

Haaland has been terrible .
Alvarez should come on .

[carl_feedthegoat]

If ortega kicks one more long ball I’m going to self combust .

[Indianablue]

Brighton are attacking at will, City being outplayed this half. Haaland not getting the service

[Tokyo Blue]

And yet we could quite easily be 3-1 up.

At least it doesn’t really matter, especially given the scratch defence we’ve got out.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Not a centre half old Rodney is he. Kin ell.

[branny]

Why do we insist on going back to Ortega when we win the ball back? They are pushing up the pitch so the quick ball forward is on. It's already worked once.

I don’t think he has a choice mate we are so sloppy Bringing it out they are all over us , well outplayed this half imo

[ayrshireblue]

Buonanotte looks a class act. Especially at 18 years old. Enciso also looks excellent and fearless when running at defenders. I'd rather boys like these than Mahrez cutting back inside every time.

[Indianablue]

Beglin doing my head in. Wanking over Brighton but he might be right when he say's we're still hung over from Sunday. come on City let's be professional and produce a better second half for the fans that have travelled and a bit of pride

[Original Dub]

Haaland with one in his last six, has two put on a plate for him today and fluffs them.

I don't like the ide of him not playing again until the fa cup final tbh.

Needs to get on the scoresheet imo

[sheblue]

Tonight we can see how important Rodri is to this team, at no 6 that is.

[nottsblue]

Think a few words of encouragement might have been conveyed at half time

[KinkyKinkladze]

Whatever the question is Pep, Palmer isn't the answer.

[blues2win]

Not a great effort by Erling.

[nottsblue]

Not a great effort by Erling.

He actually doesn’t look all that interested to me

[blues2win]

Looks like Alvarez coming on,
