[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur *** Official Match Thread ***

[Stat Brother]

I know I'm asking a lot (too much) but is they any chance we can not sing 'DeZerbi's right the refs are shite', just because the qualified and better positioned referee hasn't awarded us a free kick, due an Albion player falling to the pitch looking for a free kick.

“Tottenham will assess Cristian Romero and Richarlison, who were substituted against Everton with respective hamstring and back issues.

Destiny Udogie returns from a ban but Yves Bissouma begins a four-match suspension’‘

….and yet yesterday the media were quoting the former being out for five weeks

Just at the Tottenham stadium - trains very quiet! Hardly any Albion here. In fact hardly anyone here to be honest.

You'll get a great view of the pitch. Not the game though. Just the pitch.

That's annoying as I couldn't get a ticket. No touts around either. I'll watch it in the pub near the stadium.

We are not going to win unless @Dick Head posts a tiny picture of our badge next to a fcking massive one of theirs.

I’d like us to come out on the front foot and play forwards from the start. Energy and tempo, no meandering recycling of the football from deep in their half back to the goalkeeper. Basically I want the second half we had in the last match from the get-go and I’m sure RDZ does too.

We have to attack with directness and ambition when we earn the right to play in those forward positions.

 

[Affy]

Well I’m sure we all predicted this line up. I have a bad feeling but really don’t know what to expect. A good performance and no injuries then a point or 3 would be good please. UTA.


trying to work out where Milner will be playing? Maybe RB with Hinsh in midfield? If so, we are in trouble - Son against Milner is only going to end 1 way.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Knowing RDZ, it'll probably be something like:

Steele

Hinshelwood
Dunk
Gross (Libero)
Van Hecke
Igor

Milner
Gilmour
Buonanotte

Welbeck
Joao Pedro

Wonder if that's Milner at RB? Or Hinsh? Or Gross? Igor at LB or DM?

 

[Mustafa II]

You know what, that's a fairly strong lineup considering our injury woes... but so troublingly far from our strongest XI.

Disappointed to see Steele in goal, it's just asking for a soft long shot from Spurs for an easy goal.

Suspect we'll see all of Baleba, Ferguson and Estupinan come on tonight, possibly Dahoud & Lallana as well.

That’s exactly what I was just wondering as well!

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

No pace at all. And no choice of course.

I was thinking the opposite. Our side looks as weak as it has in 2-3 years I think. I’m not confident in the slightest.

In fact, the moment I see Milner and Steele on the team sheet I basically give up hope of getting anything.

 

[Littlemo]

I’m guessing that it’s maybe Milner at RB with Hinshelwood in front of him on the wing?

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

It could be any combination.
Could be a 3 at the back. Milner and Hinshelwood wing backs.

Pedro and Facu on the wings?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Regardless of how today ends, we can hopefully at least take some solace in Perv and Welbz being back.

JPVH will score a goal from a corner,yes a corner,pass the brandy darling
