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

[blues2win]

That was the chance but Josko’s been one of our better players. Small squad and lots of injuries. I feared these four games and posted as such. I just hope the break brings us back some players.

[Nick]

So so angry

How can you fail doing the same thing 4 games straight. Every manager owns him at half time

[Nick]

Anyone who goes to international is dead to me and better be benched

Play any kid instead vs Spuds

Fuck me rodris record vs Simpson is mad

Oh look peps doing his bumming an oppo player for the cameras

[Indianablue]

With just a couple of mins left, we fuck about with our keeper trying to play it out. Defenders running down our clock for them then Walker simply gives it away for them to attack us again. I've seen enough of that cunt. He once had pace but never a brain and his second touch is a tackle. This team is spent. Its got fuck all to do with Rodri and Bobb out. Grealish wouldn't have made a difference either. ANOTHER fuck up Pep. What's your excuse this time . The one about losses in different competitions won't fucking wash

I think he was having a go at the Brighton player for trying to get Haaland sent off by going down holding his face but he'd be better saving his anger for the wankers that he put on the pitch.

[PeterParker]

Either announce he's signed a minimum 2 year contract or he's leaving at Xmas and give the new man a chance to get settled this season. Not bothered which one. Love what Pep's done but his arrogance at trying the same thing with the same players and expecting the result to change.

Exactly.
Tired of this shit. Stay or go but decide now.

Blaming injuries ffs

Every team has injuries. We played Bournemouth last week and they were riddled with injuries. It’s how the manager adapts. Always ALWAYS waiting too long to put the sub on. And when he does it’s usually the wrong one. It’s costing us

[carl_feedthegoat]

Pep has shown us what kind of manager he is when he hasn’t got his near on full squad of players to pick from .

He’s been abysmal these last few weeks

Spot on - he’s full of embarrassing excuses .

4 in a row coming up

Crack open a bottle of rum and enjoy your birthday anyway my friend

I did that and more matey - I’m not even that wound up with the result as I saw the writing on the wall earlier on - pep just doesn’t seem to be able to do anything without his star players being available -

Happy birthday mate. Have one on me

[Indianablue]

Same old same old. Decent first few minutes then we waste chances. Not producing anything in the second halves. A few games ago we were scraping a result or avoiding a loss in the dying seconds , now we don't even do that. No shots on target in 2nd half, and our efforts just dry up.
To be honest the players out there except for Gvardiol and Nunes and the kid Pussey don't look fit enough to go 90 mins or they just don't give a shit.
The last few games have got the stink of the Wigan Cup final about them. Frankly glad of the international break. Walker the poorest player, Silva, didn't do anything and KDB - what's the point? . Haaland another goal for his personal tally but I think that's what it's about. We can't find him most of the time. Why can our ball players play quick balls over the top, all the teams we play seem to be brilliant at it.

[nottsblue]

The second half was very disappointing. Their goalie didn't have to make a save. The substitutions were too late and they had no change to our play. KDB might as well have not bothered to come on. He's checked out. Foden second half was largely anonymous, a shadow of the player from last season.
Walker. Words fail me

The league, for me, is not going to happen. At this moment ensuring we qualify for the CL is the goal. A long way to go I know, but we are hardly playing like champions. We are properly coming to the end of an era

[s1ty m]

Bernie came out this week and said we are in a bad place. Pep came out and said Bernie is not right.
Next game he is benched.

Think what you want.

Fair question. He last played well when?

I think he knows, but he said what we are all thinking.

[Sparklehorse]

Ederson - Not to blame
Pusey - Good
Walker - Cunt
Josko - Good
Rico - Good
Gundo - Weak
Kovacic - Good
Savinho - Cunt ( to blame for us not winning, easier to score his chance than miss)
Nunez - Cunt ( always has been and always will be be)
Foden - Cunt (this season)
Haaland - Good (no service)
Bernie - Weak (at the moment)
De Bruyne - Weak (we have to admit he’s past it, thanks for the truly fantastic memories)
Pep - Cunt (sort this sorry mess out now !!! )

Too many cunts out there for us to win anything.

So Bobb come back quickly please. If we win a trophy this season I will be flabbergasted.

We controlled took the lead, should have increased it, they got their shit together at about 35 mins, the same as our opponents in the last three games.
Every single, and I mean EVERY SINGLE DUEL WAS WON BY A BRIGHTON PLAYER, they just walked through us in the last 55 mins. Nothing has been more obvious to me than losing today, it’s like fucking Groundhog Day. Now, and I mean next game, Pep has to sort this sorry mess out……great past but it’s only now that counts. Cunts.

[s1ty m]

You are on your arse and you have Nunes and that bloke on the wing who has the worst ability to find a man in recent PL history, bar none. Expect more problems.

Nunes, Savio, and to an extent, Doku. Crap, total crap. Check the Brighton game in 2019, when we won 4-1 to win the league, and stand back in fucking open-mouthed awe at the difference between what we had and what we have.

The drop-off is amazing. We rode that great squad, added Rodri, and won it all. All of it. These new guys wouldn't win a chuck raffle. Honestly, Nunes is grotesque, please see it. He isn't the only reason, but fuck me, he's so bad at actual football.

[Bournemouthcityfan]

Think we need to refresh the squad and have a bigger squad as well.

Walker - fucking useless cunt
NUNES - being made to look useful
Haaland - got his goal, gave up, hide and seek champion

[Mase]

Said earlier this week - I hope Walker never plays for us again. Can’t remember detesting a player so much. Possibly Nasri.
