Title: @ Brighton
Post by: gavin on April 25, 2024, 19:04:07
Ederson, Walker (c), Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez

Subs: Ortega, Dias, Stones, Grealish, Doku, Gomez, Nunes, Bobb, Lewis

No Jack or Doku, a bit surprising.

I think Pep wants to keep the ball (hence no Doku) and keep the defence solid despite a B tired Rodri (hence Kovacic & no Grealish).

Powerful team nonetheless.

C'mon City nothing less than a win needed.

What a header from KDB. One of the best headers that I have seen in a long while. Quite a distance out with great power and direction.

A great finish from Phil for the third after a bit of fortune for the second.

I doubt goal difference can be made up against Arsenal and I expect that it won't come to that against the scousers but still it can't hurt.

There is more energy and awareness tonight than i have seen in a while. Faster everywhere.

Also, Stevie's bet is still on so lets hope for no more goals in the 2nd half.

Probably wise. My granny always used to say quit when you're ahead.

Foot a bit off the gas 2nd half once we went 4 up. Understandable. Very controlled performance.

Couple of ref decisions gone our way tonight. Rare I've been able to say that over the years!

Yeh, I wouldn't have argued if that first potential penalty against Rodri had been given. I didn't think there was anything in the Gvardiol one.

Only the one goal in the second half - a little disappointing. Great for Alvarez to get on the sheet as he's had a poor patch.

Lovely to watch the team when they are in full flow like they were most this game tonight.

A B very memorable goal from KdB tonight. What a header.

Might be 4 behind Arse when we play on Sunday.

Well done to all the squad for tonight.

definitely, especially decisions away from home are rare
