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

[Justice]

strange for Wieffer to be missing

Knock in training

 

[peterward]

Enciso on bench

 

[Mike Small]

Gutted no Weiffer but Man Utd are still short in midfield too. Billy just needs to get the ball to the front four.

Team news released early. Unusual

Team news released early. Unusual

This season it’s 75 mins before.

 

[dstanman]

Was hard to guess the team under Potter & De Zerbi and now Fabian keeps us guessing what the line up will be

Team news released early. Unusual

They get released 75 mins before ko from this season

 

[macbeth]

Agreed. Didn't realise Wieffer was injured. Expect Baleba to be neededm

think it is interesting how baleba doesn’t seem to be trusted to start in midfield. that was the case with the previous manager too

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I've complete faith in Gilmour. I reckon we'll see georginio there in the second half.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Midfield short already. No Baleba or Wieffer and amazed Gilmour still there

Barber said in the Albion podcast that we don’t want BG to leave. So I’m not.

 

[chrisg]

Baleba on the Bench.
Gilmour will give it everything as he always does.

Oh. The snapshot of the team from @Affy didn’t show him in the subs

 

[peterward]

In possession agree. But neither him or Milner are great tacklers and neither have any pace. Without ball may be an issue?

 

[severnside gull]

I’ve scoured the online press.
Evidently Man U are playing.
Pretty much no details of who against.

 

[Bodian]

All this excitement over signings - and we calm it down by putting out last years' team plus Minteh.

 

[Gabbiano]

Why no trust in Baleba? RDZ was reluctant to trust him and now we're seeing Milner-Gilmour ahead of him? Does he train badly or struggle to follow complicated instructions?

Concerned about that midfield duo, and Hinshelwood at LB again, though with Barco on loan, Pervis injured and Kadioglu yet to arrive there was no alternative.

Three positives already:

1. WBG starts
2. The rain's stopped
3. The breakfast pie is damn tasty

Today is shaping up to be a good day

Train just pulling in. Will take your recommendation on the pie!

Let’s hope WBG does not get injured and wreck his Napoli transfer! That said, it’s great to the see the club put this match first ahead of a player’s personal ambition or club profits.

He can’t pass, last season he gave 4 assists to the opposition. Needs a championship loan.

 

[GT49er]

Talksport speculating that WBG might not be off after all. They don't seem to be aware of any injury to Weiffer, just that he gave the ball away too much last week.
Hinsh at LB again - that's asking a lot of the lad. Still, if Pervis is not ready we don't have a lot of options now that Barco is off.
