[Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Hugo Rune]

Will be lucky to get out of this with a 5-0 defeat.

What team would you have picked for a draw or were you thinking this is winnable?

 

[SeagullinExile]

Interesting. City start without a recognised striker.

 

[lost in london]

Poor old Steele. Saving those pens isn't going to save him after those howlers.

 

[Yoda]

SIX defenders?

 

[Icy Gull]

No NSC meltdown?

I am happy with that team with reservations about Burn

 

[Mike Small]

A team designed to sit back (with 6 defenders picked) and then break with the lightening speed of the lion (and Tross); it worked for Southampton! Maupay rested for the realistic points haul games at Leeds & Fulham.

Great team.

With the players he has got at his disposal, I agree with that team. Even White centre midfield for once. He can hold. Propper can try and keep the ball if we get it! Maupay needed to be rested for Saturday so that's good. Plus Trossard can't be as bad ask he was on Sunday. Can he? McCallister not to touch the ball is my prediction.

That's the spirit!

Dan Burn, poor kid.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Dan Burn is going to need PTSD counseling by the end of this season!

5-1 surely

Wonder when the last time there was a Premier league match where neither side picked a striker? I'm hazarding a guess at 'never'.

Fascinating line-up...

FFS

As my F1 loving son has just commented "we're starting to look as competant as Ferrari".

Five centre backs on display out of 11 players once-***king-more.

Come on lads they don't like it up em

I can’t make excuses for the pitch tonight

Anyone can beat anyone in this league.
Theres always a glimmer of hope for even:

It's fine: some fast and skillful players, more false number nine's than I can shake a stick at, assuming Citeh let us play rather than stopping our every breakaway with a 'professional' foul.

 

[blue-shifted]

Looks like a damage limitation team to me.

Yeh.

That's what we should be doing.

I agree with the team

Hahaha. This is going to be a bloodbath.
