I said straight away that it looked like a Bill Kenwright special - probably a security threat after Erling Haaland was put into a headlock outside The Blue Dragon chippy. The security at the end was properly over the top, especially given the mood in the stadium wasn't violent in the slighest.
The security at the game has sadly been a joke (at both ends of the spectrum) for as long as I can remember.
Coleman was outstanding in his peak, the fact that he's been forced to play every week despite being over the hill through shite recruitment isn't his fault and shouldn't tarnish his legacy.
On topic regarding Patterson, he was absolutely shite today.
I got into the ground fine, although I still have a credit card ticket.
What was that mad security huddle around the dugout at the end though? I could understand if the stadium was pure toxic but it was the flattest it's been in ages, if anything positive as everyone clapped the players off!
I've long stopped being excited for the new stadium. It won't be ours and will be leased back to us at an extortionate cost. It'll be a massive hindrance if anything, especially with the clowns in charge we have running the show.
Everything about us is a massive shitshow and it's a long road ahead until that's fixed.
City will 100% be resting players, Madrid are doing the same as their league is done.
Thing is, City's second team is still outstanding so I think they'll still win it. That said, I thought we'd get stuffed to Brighton and look what happened !
It shows how good he was that we win 5-1 and I give it to Pickford, absolutely outstanding and came up with three top drawer saves to keep us in the game.
Was Doucoure in the first half, could have been McNeil in the second but JP for me.
Steele is genuinely one of the worst goalkeepers I've ever seen, couldn't get a game for Sunderland in the lower leagues.
Fantastic stuff by De Zerbi, he loves us.
Neal Maupay to come on and put in a proper graft considering he's leaving in the summer and playing against the club he loves - sit down ffs.
Would honestly just stick Onana up front to hold up the ball and act as our 11th defender.
Yeah was just going to say this, we should get away with it as we're 3-0 up, but I think Brighton will score for sure.
Just need to be absolute shithouses and waste as much time as possible, kill the rhythm of the game.
Should never have left, would take him back in a heartbeat (and didn't understand why everyone seemed to turn against him).
Mykolenko hasn't looked good enough since arriving, I only think he would be a decent option if we dropped.
When we're fighting relegation next season this will be the fixture that Bill Kenwright will write about in his 475th letter to the fans of the season.
TURNING ON DYCHEY?! HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THAT NIGHT IN BRIGHTON???
THAT MAKES ME SAD.
The absolute helmet on BT is determined for us to lose, absolutely rattled seeing us 3-0 up. Fantastic to hear.
