[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Burnley *** Official Match Thread ***

[The Fits]

Gone in harder than usual tonight- wine, beer and just ordered Pizza. Had the shits this week so it's a big risk.
COME ON THE ALBION!

I'm cracking open some PROSECCO

 

[SeagullDubai]

I think this will be an exciting game.
Stephens will give them a few tips to score against us and will be well up for it , which will then force us to really go at them.
I'm going for a nerve jangling 90 minutes
Burnley 2-3 Brighton.

It’s 4-2-2-2 as above
Source? The semicolons in Naylor’s tweet

Burn is fine as a full back but I'm not sure he's a wing back.

I think we'll start with the 4-2-2-2 we played a lot last season but I'll probably be totally wrong obviously!:

-----------------------Ryan
---Lamptey - Webster - Veltman - Burn
--------------White - Bissouma
----------------Gross - Lallana
--------------Maupay - Welbeck

This is the formation - surely?

Who is playing left wing back

Is he new?

Welbeck

Presume March is injured, which obviously necessitates some changes, but other than that, I do not like this team selection. Would have preferred another game (at least) for Sanchez, and Alzate in the team too. Don't know why Steele makes the bench ahead of Sanchez either.
Are some players ill - Covid or otherwise - or is this just the team and squad that GP wants?

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Maupay and welbeck is a very exciting combination upfront.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Burnley, a team known for their direct physical approach, makes sense to put our smallest keeper back in for this one

 

[kevo]

It's obvious what has happened. Sanchez, Alzate and Trossard had a massive BRAWL, but Ryan and Maupay steamed in to separate them thus earning their places back in the side. This will all be reported in the Daily Mail tomorrow.

 

[Pembury]

Good two up top. We’re gonna score plenty!

 

[Steve in Japan]

Tonight I will mainly be drinking cider of a good strength.

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

Even more surprising regarding alzate . Been outstanding looks a decent prospect then gets dropped for “ treacle boots “

I cannot for the life of me know why Alzate was ever dropped. At least 3 or 4 players have had a run of bad or average games and kept their places. Alzate was on form and one of our most consistent performers. How he can pick Gross in front of him I will never know. He offers a lot more pace and goal threat. I felt positive that he would start today and hoped it would be in place of Trossard who has been poor in the last few games. Let’s hope GP has got it right because a loss today will put a lot of pressure on him. We are getting used to losing against teams around us.

In all honesty, it doesn't really, matter what team GP puts out tonight, nobody will be satisfied.
We'll either have a plethora of positivity tonight when we win, or the usual self inflicted implosion of negativity, if it goes bandy.

 

[SeagullDubai]

Looking forward to this. I foresee a two nil lead within the first 15 minutes

Too narrow....

 

[Uh_huh_him]

5 cans of Warka Strong for tonight.
Should be fairly wankered by FT.
