jellydog Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 3 points, but what a dire second half. Had me at my grouchy worst again. So many loose passes. Jesus was dispossessed nearly every time he was on the ball after coming on. Maddening. And why the f is Sterling taking PKs when KDB is on the pitch? Clearly our best finisher is Foden these days. Stones has been a revelation. Long may it last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stones is playing out of his skin, another assured display. City can still win when not playing anywhere near their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was awful when he came on but it was his first game back, so a little ring rusty. He can and does play much better than his display last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't beat yourself up for having high standards jelly. We should have put that to bed several times but to be fair, Brighton played really well and are a much better side than their position in the table shows. If they carry on playing like that, they'll get points and creep up the table And yeah, why didn't Kev take that penalty? At this stage, I'll take the 3 points and move onto the next game against Palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect their manager, Graham Potter, to be around awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Tough game that last night, which needed a moment of Filthy Foden to finish it. Every time I've seen brighton they've been decent. Pep played the same way for a 4th game and Potter had done his homework. If they keep grafting like that they should stay up; adding a goalscorer would help. Dias and Stones brilliant again. Cancello worse game for a while. Enjoyed watching Bernardo who was everywhere, and Foden making things happen. 2nd half, 1v0 up, we couldn't kill the game off, the game was too open. I was screaming for Pep to bring on Fernandinho for Rodri to control midfield and Walker for a poor Cancello, but Pep puts on Jesus out of position wide left (thereby moving Foden and making him less effective) and Sterling - both rubber dubbs didn't contribute at all. Sometimes i wonder about managers. Pep sometimes is too loyal to the players on the pitch - Get em off if they ain't doing it, Pep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 John Stones with a brace, who'd a thowt it. Got to be the most improved player in the Prem this year. We played well last night. Nothing too strenuous as Pep is trying to stop them running all over the park. Excellent goal by Gundo. I must admit, I wasn't his biggest fan but I'm warming to him. Excellent free kick by Sterling. Started the season slow but I'm liking what I'm seeing now. Got to beat Villa on wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game was a bit like the United/Liverpool game for a bit with Palace adopting the United approach but you managed to what Arsenal struggle to quite easily. De Bruyne showed why he is the best player in the PL Stones must be nailed on to be in the next England team. Looks a class act at the moment.

RickG16 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 How are we feeling about tonight chaps? Depends which Villa turns up I guess. If Grealish can start pulling the string you never know. In your current form it could be a walk in the park, but this is one of the games I am hoping you could drop points in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
