Thursday Night Football Brighton v Manchester City 8pm kick-off

[WinkieWATP]

Clear penalty imo, odd VAR not giving it.

Somethings happened down there in recent weeks where they seem to go with the ref 99% of the time now. Thought Newcastle were denied a clear penalty last night alsd

How the hell is that not a pen ???

Agree after seeing all the angles. Usually given.

I was a huge fan of de Zerbi when he first came in but he seems to have had his style found our somewhat and also has the feel of someone who knows they are leaving.

Man City just teasing the others for the league win

The defender barged in to him, that was a clear penalty. They seem to make up it each game what’s a penalty and what’s not.

All this talk of a "high bar"

England have gone too far... Scotland probably give the Aké one as handball...

anybody do?

 

[Kirbys House]

anybody do?

Yeah. Brighton have barely been in possession to get fouled!

 

[Macdonsj]

Terrible effort
Should have a goal back

 

[exeterbear]

De Bruyne doing his best Derek Johnstone impersonation.

That's who i thought of instantly when I watched that header

 

[WinkieWATP]

Celebrating getting a free kick

4-1 Citeh.

Close enough.

 

[trueblueally]

Easy routine victory.

 

[MancGer86]

The cheats will win all their games and buy another league title with players they shouldn't have. The prem is very boring these days.

Harsh

Was waiting on 2 more City corners from when Alvarez scored for £155 and they barely went forward! Guess when it's 4-0 they don't need to

 

[MancGer86]

Dodgy free kick for the 2nd goal that pretty much killed the game. Easy from then on.

On to Forest on Sunday. Only drew there last year so a win can't be taken for granted.

Side note, at the moment we look a much better, more fluid cohesive side without Haaland in the starting 11.

A good even handed ref for a change, crazy the best PL ref is an Aussie

The way Haaland plays he has to be 100% match fit to be effective. When he is he's awesome.

He's definitely not looked fit in recent times but even with all the goals he got last season he's generally always looked a bit of an awkward fit for us. His hold up play has been dire for a while as well, driven me mad seeing the number of times he's been muscled off the ball in 1 on 1s with his marker. Different guy to last season. Good thing Norway aren't at the euros, decent break for him to sort out whatever the issue is with him ready for next season.
