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

Fucks sake. I'd take 0-3 now.

 

[sagaman]

Looks a worryingly weak team. Defence poor anf midfield weak without Moises or Ali. If we play too much out of the back they will close is down too quickly


Hope I am wrong

Fucks sake. I'd take 0-3 now.

Yep, snatch your hand off!

 

[Soton Seagull]

Goal difference is going to take a battering. If Van Hecke plays like he did the other day we've had it.

Fingers crossed for a miracle!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

In de Zerbi we trust. But some days he makes it hard!!

 

[METALMICKY]

Looks like we're all out for Villa. However, not convinced the potential for a bit of tonking sets us up well for Sunday. And no point bringing on the big guns when we might be 3 down. In RDZ we must trust I guess

 

[Littlemo]

RDZ is obviously just hoping to make the last game have a bit of jeopardy about it. How many goals do Villa need us to lose again?

 

[The Fits]

I genuinely think we will concede at least 5 tonight. We did that against Everton for goodness sake. That's not even a weakened team we are playing. That would be a decent Championship team. We are playing the best team in the world! In RDZ we trust!

 

[Whoislloydy]

How confident are we with that GD, very surprised City have gone full strength.

 

[pb21]

On the bright side, city don't need to win and will be more thinking about don't get any injuries

 

[US Seagull]

From the Guardian:

And while it’s true that Brighton need one more point to categorically confirm their participation in next year’s Europa League, they’ve got such a superior goal difference over the only team that can still mathematically catch them, Aston Villa, that things would have to get seriously trippy for them to fail to hang onto sixth spot, even if they lose both of their remaining matches.

RDZ: hold my beer

 

[kevo]

Christ. Tonight would surely be the night to play a team with a tight defence and a strong midfield. But what do I know?

 

[The Fits]

Sad Mac isn't starting in his (likely) last home game.

 

[WhingForPresident]

If City beat us 7-0, Villa would need to beat us 5-0...

 

[gabrielnrg]

Caicedo not in DM again? aggghhhh frustrating

 

[The Rivet]

I predict a Haaland hatrick minimum.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If City beat us 7-0, Villa would need to beat us 5-0...

It gives them a target to aim for and if we had to play another patched up team I wouldn't be feeling that confident.

 

[raymondo]

Sensible team mind..RDZ will want to win at Villa.

I'm disappointed if he doesn't want to try to win tonight. A thumping loss wouldn't help tonight. I wonder what Pep's thinking?
I guess Dunk could have a knock, and Veltman's only been back one game. Maybe this is the best RDZ could offer.

 

[Eric the meek]

The last time we fielded what was considered a weak team, we battered Wolves 6-0. Just saying.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Love the chat about our weak side. To nearest £100m are our eleven worth £300m, £400m or £500m... :
