[Albion] AEK Athens FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

No Adam L at all. Is he crocked again? Exciting day for the 5 kids on the bench.

 

[schmunk]

I reckon if that XI De Zerbi has selected can outscore the opposition tonight, we should win this.

Yes, but only if we concede fewer goals than them.

 

[HangletonGull]

Expected formation?

It’s almost like a 442 , in attack 4 2 4 in defence 442, like the Pedro and fergie up top

 

[HangletonGull]

That bench that’s something to be proud of that rdz trusts these youngsters in a game like this

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Flippin' heck, there are some young players on the bench!

 

[London Irish]

Odd Dahoud isn’t playing the majority of the game due to his Prem suspension, on the naughty step?

Hinsh I’m sure brings out a few nerves for many of us but clearly RDZ sees something there above Milner

I don't think he has anyone else to choose from!

 

[HangletonGull]

That as well

 

[Stat Brother]

If nothing else they've banged out some quality tunes on the wireless.

For me Jack is ahead of Milner

Normal 4-2-3-1 Hinsh at left back, Gross and Wee Billy in the middle I would imagine.

Could also be Hinch at RB, Igor LB and Joel + Dunk CB

 

[HangletonGull]

That’s what I was thinking

 

[BrightonLoyal]

Mitoma the man tonight, come on lets get this done!!

 

[Littlemo]

Surprised not to see Dahoud, he’s the one that’s freshest of the midfielders.

As long as it’s not Hinshelwood and Gilmour in Midfield again. I think Aston Villa showed that combo was not a goer!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Could also be Hinch at RB, Igor LB and Joel + Dunk CB

Maybe but that means 3 players playing out of their normal position. Hinsh at left back is only 1. We will see.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Why are TNT wanking off over Villa? Are the channel listings wrong?

 

[Bodian]

My Dad always said something about 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts', so I think Dunky should poke their captain in the eye if he tries to give him a club pennant at the coin toss. You can't be too careful.

He'd better not - their Captain is Polish.

 

[Littlemo]

Why are TNT wanking off over Villa? Are the channel listings wrong?

I think the channel goes straight to their game after ours, no build up or anything. Must be fitting some in now.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Oh it's Jules Breach again.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Obviously going to be a tough game considering the atmosphere, our injuries and their physical edge, but I think we made them look better than they actually are at the Amex. This is winnable.
