I also think that doesn't mean that when Haaland doesn't score, it means he played badly in that match, in fact, Haaland's contribution was very big at the time the goal happened.
for Haaland there is no need to debate anything anymore, he is Man City's best player this season and he is Man City's most successful recruit this season, look at what Haaland has done in his first season with Man City, the goal contribution he gave to the team was huge and he even set a new record in the Premier League by scoring the most goals in one season and added that in his first season, in my opinion that was extraordinary.

There is no denying Haaland impact on Manchester City this year. Although it is true that a player value is not just based on their goal scoring performance Haaland's contributions go much beyond that. He is a crucial member of the club because of his presence on the pitch and his capacity to open doors for his teammates. Even if he does not score, his presence affects the entire match. Haaland debut campaign with Manchester City has been nothing short of extraordinary as he not only broke Premier League records but also cemented his position as the team star player. His performance speaks for itself thus there is no need for additional argument over his ability. Haaland is a remarkable addition to Manchester City and raises their level of play thanks to his outstanding goal scoring ability and overall influence.

Today there will be a match between Manchester United vs Chelsea, for Manchester United they only need a draw to make them lock in their position in the standings. But it seems that they will want to win, after all, Chelsea is now in a bad state, so they can take advantage of that to let them win 3 points in this game. While Chelsea, since they were taken over by Frank Lampard they have only been able to win 1 time, I will not blame Lampard because even before he was in charge of Chelsea, Chelsea was already in a bad state.

I knew Brighton will give Manchester city a tough time in that match, that's why i double chance Brighton in that game. Manchester city has no big game in the league again,they are all preparing for the big game in champions league final, Pep Guardiola is resting his star players,and he is not risking them for any premier league game anymore.

Pep Guardiola's strategy in protecting his star players is a pretty good strategy because he really needs to do it for the big match in the UCL. Apart from that, Manchester City has also won the Premier League so that Manchester City no longer needs more points and the draw with Brighton is also a very good result because Manchester City can still get even one point. Apart from that, Brighton is also trying to secure its place in the Europa League zone this season and Brighton has indeed succeeded in doing this.

Of course it was a wise choice, because in the Premier League they have nothing more to chase because they have confirmed themselves to be champions this season. The most important thing now is the Champions League, because that is what they have been after for many years. They still have the FA Cup final against Manchester United, I don't know if they will be serious in that game or not. But it seems they will also show their best to be able to win the title there.

With the way the match between Manchester City and Brighton is going, Manchester City is really making an effort to outperform Arsenal

They've already outperformed them. Imagine the Gunners retaining the first spot for the better part of nine months, if I'm not mistaken, but Man City just took not upto a month to overthrow them and take the league title.

However, many believe Brighton will defeat Manchester City because they have the African Cup of Nations and the Champions League Final to play.

Brighton playing in the African Cup of Nations?? How's that possible, dude?

With what I saw in the Brighton team I just concluded that Brighton played better football than Arsenal against Manchester City, they [Brighton] didn't let the players of City intimate them, it even made them [Brighton] to play their best. Brighton's performance was outstanding, they made City to be restless and even making mistakes. Next season would be tough for the current champions of the EPL and Brighton will be a team to watch, never forget the Newcastle team too.

Zerbi was a key why brighton was able playing even better compared with arsenal. that's why brighton deserves to be qualified for europa league caused by the performance from brighton with de zerbi is unbelievable.

In my opinion if manchester city was not playing seriously against brighton. It's not yet using the full squads since the beginning of the match. I still try to put a lot of respect for brighton caused by with the limited squads it was able going comeback and make a surprise to be qualified for the europa league. Brighton was rarely doing this thing. The best decision from brighton to sign zerbi as a new coach to replace potter who has been going to the chelsea.

Brighton must be thankful to the zerbi caused by he was able evolving the club to be even better.

Well there was no need for Pep Guardiola to put his main players out there. They won the league now other players can get a chance for more minutes on the field plus they will save their main players for the champions league final. Brighton with this point made a historic result for them reaching Europe for the first time in history.

You had a good strategy on this game and even if I didn't watch the game, it was kinda normal for Brighton to actually care for this game and put up a fight in order to get some points and a draw is more than enough for them.

City ...didn't risk at all in my opinion and they chose to preserve themselves and be ready for the final against Inter because an injury right now , would basically mean a lot and even if Pep has a lot of golden reserves on the bench , he wants his prime 11 to be ready for the final. Also , Inter are well known for having rough games and play dirty sometimes.

I thought Man City would field their second tier squad against Brighton but it turns out that Pep Guardiola didn't do that and still felt that this match was safe to field his core players. It is clear here that Man City's game is too strong, but they are not too aggressive because they are more focused on protecting themselves from injury. If Brighton could be a little bit superior maybe the result could be a little different. But this result benefits both sides and I think it's fair.

I wrote yesterday about how I expected Brighton not to lose this game against Man City... City don't need anything now, could have even lost to Brighton, which by the way miraculously didn't happen... Brighton played better but their luck didn't happen, although a draw is good for them too... Villa won't be able to stop them from qualifying for the Europa League...

Actually I expected Brighton to win against Manchester city like getting a surprise but Brighton being able to draw the final score was very good for me because from the start the match Brighton was more aggressive with high self-confidence.
After that Brighton will have to play against Aston villa to win a ticket to the European league but it is true what you said that Villa will not be able to take that position and it is difficult to beat Brighton at the moment.

I'm also not sure that Manchester City will win, let alone Brighton, not because Manchester City have won the English League and they have given up on Brighton, let alone giving 3 full points, I don't think that will be possible, the most likely thing is a draw, because both of them are playing the same well, it doesn't matter that this draw doesn't put Brighton's position in jeopardy either.
Brighton played well until the end and fell behind then they managed to equalize through Julio Enciso's goal, the draw lasted until the game was over, Manchester City managed to pick up one point as well as Brighton and they deserved to enter the European league.

I don't expect Manchester City to win this match. This match was not important for City. They became champions of the Premier League. And so now their aim is not to beat Inter Milan in the Champions League. This is why the match against Brighton can be considered a friendly match. Manchester City's players attacked very little in this match. Brighton made a total of 20 shots, but Manchester City's players made only 13 shots. I'm glad Manchester City didn't lose. A draw in this match is a very good result for City.

Well, Brighton played the game because they needed some points to qualify for the following season, and I guess that is why they became encouraged in that match, so that is a really good thing they did for themselves because they are now qualified for the following season.

It was clear from the start that they had qualified for the next season Europa league. They had huge goal difference compared to Aston Villa and Spurs who were also contesting for Europa league spot as well. What Brighton did yesterday was confirm their spot in Europa League next season. A job really well done by Roberto de Zerbi in his first season with Brighton.

On another note, there is a very heavy fixture between United and Chelsea about to happen today. For Chelsea, this might not change things much but for United they will confirm their CL spot next season if they wins or draw in this fixture. On other hand, Liverpool will be hoping for Chelsea to win as a win would still make CL hopes alive for Liverpool. It is going to be at United's home and form wise United are in better shape and form so certainly they will be the favorites but I also wouldn't rule Chelsea out here.

Manchester City started the game pretty well against Brighton and they scored the first goal but against Haaland had an effect on the first goal of this game but after that, Brighton scored three goals! Shocked

However, two goals were not accepted by the VAR but still, they had enough opportunity to score these goals and they had enough chance against a team like Manchester City which is really interesting for me.
I think if they play like this in the second half we can even see Brighton winning this game against Manchester City.

This is what happens when a team has already won the league and they have two finals to play. I said earlier that teams that have already won the league and have nothing to fight for don't take it as seriously as they used to before they won the league. It's not like they want to lose, but they just won't play as they used to.
In the case of Manchester City, they even need to rest their players and make sure they are physically and mentally ready for the finals ahead.

That being said, you have to give it to Brighton because of the way they played. They played like people that really needed the point. They had more goal attempts and more shots on goal than City, which is very impressive knowing the kind of team that City is. Brighton got a point out of the draw and that draw secured their Europa League spots. So Brighton will be playing in the Europa League next season.

Seriously, I thought Brighton would win that game because of the way they played in the first half. I could see Manchester City playing differently than usual because they have what they want, which is a place in the final. They are resting and waiting for Inter to give them back-to-back wins, but Brighton players gave me joy with their play. Even though Manchester City needs to rest and recover physically and mentally, that doesn't mean they should let Brighton win. Just because they have qualified for the final doesn't mean they should be concerned about losing other games.

Well, Brighton played the game because they needed some points to qualify for the following season, and I guess that is why they became encouraged in that match, so that is a really good thing they did for themselves because they are now qualified for the following season.

Manchester City is the Champion in England and now the play only for more points and goals. They dont give 100% i think. They still have two important games and every player should be fit for them. No one should get injured in a game like this, that would be disaster. On 03.06. the FA Cup final and on 10.06. the Champions League final are the most important games. Yesterday the game and the one on 28 May are maybe like training games. You could see that in the line-up, Ederson didn´t play. I think Citys line-up on 28.05. will also bring a few surprises.

Pep did not field several players such as Ederson and Akanji, as well as the system he implemented in last night's match, Pep Guardiola did not use his usual formation. in fact, Pep withdrew some of his players in the 57th minute with a few substitutes. so, we agree that City does not play 100% to achieve maximum results. that's why, I hesitate to bet on City even though the odds given are quite ideal than usual. So, overall I agree with what you said. one might even say, City considered last night's game to be part of the training even though statistically and technically Manchester City are still superior to the home team.

On the contrary, De Zerbi's squad was able to take advantage of the momentum not to lose points in this match. left behind in the 25th minute by Phil Foden's goal, Julio Enciso was able to equalize in the 38th minute. on the other hand, at first I was a little confused why De Zerbi often played Mac Allister as a supersub. It seems that De Zerbi is starting to look for other options so that his team can play more solidly without Mac Allister, who is certain to leave this summer.
by the way, with this result Brighton ensures that their position will not be overtaken by a team below their ranking.

For people who couldn't watch the game between Manchester City and Brighton, I can say both teams had amazing performances and we saw a fascinating game the game ended up with a 1-1 result but Brighton scored two other goals and Manchester City scored another in the second half but not accepted by the VAR. However, Manchester City had much more control in the game 62 percent for Manchester City and 38 percent for Brighton.

The match between Manchester City and Brighton had a lot of drama, and of course they put all their strength into it. It was evident from these two teams that they could only penetrate the defense and score one goal per team in a draw. Brighton proved to have tried several times to score again and recorded up to 20 kicks on goal even with quite low ball possession. Unfortunately, Erling Haaland was not as good as usual because he couldn't move in this match.

Haaland did a good job yesterday. There is no need to be negative about him whenever Haaland fails to score. His job is to score goals and help others do so. And Haaland did that job. Foden scored after a pass from Erling. Everyone should have a chance to score, not just Haaland.

I also think that doesn't mean that when Haaland doesn't score, it means he played badly in that match, in fact, Haaland's contribution was very big at the time the goal happened.

Brighton pulled off a strong match against Manchester City and not just that alone, they had most of their recent matches against the top 4 and guess what, they only conceded to Newcastle, they beat City, Arsenal, and Manchester United to secure a place in the Europa Conference League, they did what other teams couldn't do to Manchester City by breaking their long winning streak that thinks they are demi-gods in Premier League, they deserve what they achieved this season.

I hope they performed very well, they should use this same energy and break the record in other domestic leagues by next season, they would even have a guaranteed place in the Europa League if they win the conference league by next season as a double win.

I agree with you that Brighton has played an excellent season, but you are saying that Brighton beat Manchester City. When did that happen? It is true that they beat their long winning streak, but Brighton played against a Manchester City that has won the title already. I think that that Manchester City is quite a bit different from a Manchester City that still needs to win in order to win the title.

Regarding Manchester City thinking they are semi-gods or what you called it, my idea is that they are at the top because they do not think they are semi-gods, but instead are very grounded and hard working. What game are you referring to when you say that Brighton beat Manchester City?

Is comprehension a problem here? Did Brighton lose their match against Manchester City? When a match ends as a draw is always checked marked as green and not lost I believe because of the 1 point, I don't think your question was necessary in the first place or needed validation. Everyone knows they already did lift the trophy but you think they let Brighton draw because of that, perhaps you should rewatch the highlight with all the pressure Man City amount on Brighton.

If Brighton played an offensive match against Manchester City and qualify for the Europa Conference League with just a single point, will you call that a loss as well? Manchester City is good but the fact they draw Brighton and allow them to qualify for one of the European league is a well deserve celebration.

Shocking to see Brighton have a spectacular season, winning both average and elite clubs in league games, they're on different level. This season, the Seagulls delivered an amazing performance, making it one of the most memorable seasons for both fans and players. For the first time in their history, Brighton qualified for the European League competition. Roberto De Zerbi had a successful year. He's the mastermind behind Brighton's spectacular triumphs; they've done exceptionally well this season, suffering from the start of the league and now qualifying for Europa league.

it cannot be denied that Brighton's performance this season has been extraordinary, and their success in getting tickets to the Europa League is the result of their good performance and consistency this season.

the draw against Man City was pretty good for Brighton, I don't think Man City, who has confirmed himself as a champion, is actually playing full with his best strength, but even so, Brighton has been able to keep up with the Premier League champions' game this season and getting 1 point isn't a bad thing.

So interesting watch Brighton to stop almighty Manchester City from gaining a full point from the match. Brighton showed an impressive performance by equalizing the game, I didn't expect Brighton would be able to equalize the game , expected it is an opportunity for Manchester city to get a full point. Manchester City already have good numbers of points, missing full point from Brighton is nothing to them but was an advantage to Brighton which will qualify them for Europa league next season.

I knew Brighton will give Manchester city a tough time in that match, that's why i double chance Brighton in that game. Manchester city has no big game in the league again,they are all preparing for the big game in champions league final, Pep Guardiola is resting his star players,and he is not risking them for any premier league game anymore.

I'm saying this because Manchester City is the only team that hasn't lost this season. I think Manchester City played the match merely for the sake of securing a draw, even though they were already certain of winning the league.
