No no no not Stones?

Why play him for nearly the whole game ?

No need.

I thought he was injured but all good i think?

No no no not Stones?

Don’t think anything wrong, just taking a knee to get the subs ready.

Well, I hope so anyway as it’d look like we had no CBs left.

[CTID Hants]

That Van Hecke makes his countryman dike look like a pussy....

[blues2win]

A fair result. We need a point for 90 which would be nice. My only concern is with Stones. Hopefully nothing serious.

I’ll take that and you can see that not one of them want to go all out in a dead rubber.

Did Pep help out his mate, Brighton confirmed for the Europa.

[blues2win]

Palmer played well I thought as he did against Chelsea.

[johnny crossan]

Clear and obvious error? I think not - just another cheating Pigmol intervention, despicable, blatant and a sign of things to come.

Poor VAR decision. Defender pulls Haaland first then is weak when pulled back and appeals for the foul rather than actually defend the situation. The type of thing Otamendi was guilty of on some occasions.

agreed, very poor decision , the defender is pushing Haarland too . goal would be given against us or elsewhere.

Haaland perhaps didn't need to foul the defender, fair result we were not at the races but the commentary box overflowing with Brighton jizz. Gomez on for a short time but he's still shit and Phillips is too pedestrian. Tought our best players were De Bruyne, Lewis and Mahrez. Probably 3 players that haven't been on the piss. Constantly playing out from the back just put us under constant pressure with their press. Ortega needed to play it safer with a long kick when he's not under pressure. Most of his kicks seemed rushed

Disagree, defender put his hand against his chest, standard jockeying play. Haaland then grab his arm and shirt and pull him off balance. Didn't need to do it. i thought the ref wasn't giving us much all night, but on this occassion he was correct. Brighton were more cynical than us with tactical fouls , that young dutch lad should have seen red

Could have been a haaland hatrick. For the last two games in a row.

Hope to fuck he takes out his frustration on the rags and inter

That’s what everyone but the commentators and the ref var saw the guy had his arm in Haalands chest

Sorry, i'm coming back on this. Pushing a player is a foul. he didn't put his hand on Haarlands chest he actually pushed him , which is a foul, probably why Haarland was trying to stabalise himself. We have seen it creep into the game this season whereby players think it is ok to simply push other players - a foul. the refs have let it go. I would have pulled them up for it. Keep your hands down.

clearly Haarland has grasped the shirt, ask why he was off balance .

Sky Sports' Alan Smith: "I don't know why City are so incensed. It looked a clear foul to me."
Now I wonder who Smiffy played 264 times for?

i have a sneaky suspicion he will.

Their equaliser was pretty good, bit like the ones by Villa & Everton

I suspect tonights goal will be in the mix for Brightons goal of the season. We've conceded a lot more shitty goals this season.

Most of us would be very upset if that was scored against us. In my opinion, Haaland could have beaten that defender without the shirt grab.tempting for him to give it out to defenders though as most are grappling with him
