What a tough loss. After a promising start and really 60’ minutes, the club just fell and could not contain a very game Brighton side. Haaland, Marmoush and a very few others were here for this one, but ultimately a Nunes mistake and more caused a big loss.
With it the club has back to back defeats already in this early season and just three points from three matches. Poor performances abounded and the lack of heart showed in some players. Time to reset and re-focus as Pep Guardiola has a big challenge
ahead of him.
Pep Guardiola Reaction
“We concede the goal and after that it shifted. Until then it was really, really good, we had chances and the team looked aggressive and dynamic.
“We made a good hour and then after the last half an hour we were not good. We forgot to pass the ball, just played long balls and we were not good enough. It is what it is.
“Erling is our big threat but in general we made a good hour and after we concede the goal, a bit like Tottenham, we concede and everywhere we don’t continue to do what we need to do.
“It can happen, you still have time because it is possible to concede in the Premier League. Of course everyone makes the substitutions to get better and they did it well but it all changed after the goal.
“We have a really good squad and of course we changed many things from the past to now, which is normal, we need new players to adapt and we need the older ones to help them to cope.”
