Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United *** Official Match Thread ***

Well he’s done it again! Haven’t got a clue how that side will line up.

I can’t see that as 3 at the back with Lamptey and Montoya both playing, more likely a 4-5-1?

Ryan

Montoya - Duffy - Dunk - Burn

Lamptey - Propper - Stephens - Bissouma - Mac Allister

Connolly

Wouldn't surprise me if Lamptey played in a central 3 at the back, like Walker did in the World Cup. Lots of pace in the United forward line

 

[albionfan37]

I’m assuming lamptey rw
Mac allister lw

 

[SockMonster]

BBC reckon we are sort of 5-3-1-1

 

[Drebin]

Hopefully they’re having the exact same conversation in the Utd changing room right now.

I think this looks most likely...

As long as the players know what they are doing it doesn’t matter!

You're probably spot on, unless it's a 3 or 5 at the back with Montoya at LWB? Surely not? Surely? But maybe?

EDIT - am getting that purely from the order in the team photo which has Lamptey first outfield player

 

[Glawstergull]

3-5-1-1 ?

Yes I think so too

 

[SoggyCabbages]

I cannot wait for Lamptey to destroy Luka Shaw.

 

[London Irish]

Lamptey looks like our new winger, bit of burn for the current ones

 

[vagabond]

Must be a bloody nightmare for opposition managers to try to predict our lineups!

 

[Mackenzie]

Ohhh it’s starting....

 

[studio150]

At least Potter is giving us the usual:

1. Who's playing
2. Why isn't he starting
3. What formation

which usually takes up 50 minutes pre match on the concourse, and then when the game starts we are all still wrong.

I reckon Connolly and Lampety are starting up front with the aim of running at the centre of the Utd defence,

Unlikely - probably but only Potter knows for sure,

 

[Bladders]

I think it’s going to be 4-4-1-1

Jeez, obvs one eye on Norwich hence no Maupay. That Man Utd team is very strong, we'll do well to get a draw.

Standard fayre from Lawro

Brighton have picked up four points from their two games since the restart and it could have been six if they had put away their penalty against Leicester.

But if you'd offered a win and a draw against Arsenal and Leicester to Seagulls boss Graham Potter before the restart, he would have swum the channel to get it, especially with the teams below them in the table doing next to nothing.

The pressure is off Brighton a bit here, but I would still back Manchester United, who have also made a very positive return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Their boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a lot of changes for their FA Cup win over Norwich. They didn't play well, but they still got through.

The race for the top four - and even fifth if Manchester City's Champions League ban for next season is upheld - is going to be an exciting one. United are in the thick of it, and I think they will push on here.

Prediction: 0-2

 

[Pevenseagull]

Ohhh it’s starting....

nearly an HOUR of build up .... 5 mins on the Albion?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Lamptey spent plenty of time playing at left back against Leicester! Could be him there and Montoya RB

 

[Wellesley]

Dale 'yellow card' Stephens better not be giving too many free kicks away on the edge of our area tonight.
