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

[Neville's Breakfast]

Astonishing negativity and disrespect to our manager on here.

I would love us to win today and ram it down some of your throats.

Come on. No strikers, resurrecting a load of players who haven’t played recently and all at once, leaving Maupay on the bench after scoring a confidence boosting goal. There’s always a chance of a result but GP does himself no favors.

The nerves have gone for tonights game now so time to sit back and enjoy seeing how this one pans out

It's not like the current lot have been any good

Pretty Arsenal heavy pundits

Well, I’ll give Potter some credit for being a very brave man with this selection! Let’s hope he is the tactical genius that some think he is!! UTA

I keep hearing that he picks a side for each opposition. On the basis that he has got it right about 13% of the time, then ' tactical ' and ' genius ' really don't apply.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I think a few people are getting angry for no reason here.

Others have pointed out the congested fixture list, obviously.

In my opinion that isn't a bad lineup. I fancy Ali J to score if he gets half a chance, which I suspect is the plan. Alex Mac likewise.

Propper & Bernardo are the big risks - but that's what subs are for.

He's thrown another big game. Unacceptable.

 

[Balders]

Wasn't there the same outcry and pant pissing with a similar team selection away at Spuds - we didn't do too bad in that match?

 

[Change at Barnham]

In fairness, if you had to name two Brighton players who are the most happy to have a shot at goal, and you would name Ali J and Ali Mac.

 

[Mackenzie]

Ah the old 5-5-0 formation.

Sneaky.

 

[vagabond]

Thought the starting eleven was weird but exciting at first.. watching it again its not that ****ing strange... and not that ****ing exciting either, but Im hyped for the game!

Big Mac and Ali J are an intriguing and technical forward pair. Will be interesting that’s for sure.

 

[Icy Gull]

We do have the regulars on the bench, never boring being an Albion fan. It is a brave starting line up. Looking forward to it

 

[Reddleman]

What on earth is he doing? Simply has to go if we lose tonight.

It goes without saying I will be happy if this is one of a hundred quotes slagging him off being dragged up after we've won. But I really, really doubt it will be.

Do you really not understand or just looking to have a pop ah the manager? We played 48 hours ago and play again on the weekend. He needs to rotate, the same players won’t play three games in a week. It’s not rocket science

 

[R. Slicker]

I know Maupay scored Sunday but I am sure the general consensus was that he was pretty terrible other than that.
Why the clamour for him now?

Guarantee there are people on NSC who are looking forward to us losing tonight.

Don’t be ridiculous there is nobody on this forum who want us to lose. (Other than Palace fans).

I think the majority are speechless with the line-up.

Hoping for a tactical genius.....

Of all the nights to run out of alcohol ...

 

[KZNSeagull]

What's that definition of madness? Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? A game we are not expected to win; a system that has not been working. So he makes some very interesting changes. Bring it on. Call for his head after the game if you must, but let's see what happens first eh.

 

[Hamilton]

Could be genius though... let’s see. Quite the fecking gamble though.

Yep. It’s shit or bust in a way. He’ll either be hero or zero.

If anyone is showing disrespect, it's Potter towards the fans not the other way round.

Appears to be to the vast majority. Best pre match Meltdown I can remember
