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

[Sarisbury Seagull]

No Bissouma or Tau, playing White in midfield and Burn, Gross and Maupay starting.

Let’s just say I’m a bit disappointed and underwhelmed.

Oh well, let’s hope for the best.

That line up suggests to me a nuclear bomb will go off in Lewes and everyone will die.

I think we will struggle with the pace today. A few things I would like to see us do differently . Once we pass the half way line we try to only move the ball forward as far as possible. Lots of movement off the ball, darting runs into the area by the forwards to create space and no passing to players who are surrounded.

Pace? Only Rodrigo and raphinha have pace. Rest of team is just hard working for a top quality manager.

The two players we all most wanted to see today and he's benched the pair of them. He always over complicates things. Baffling.

 

[Kazenga <3]

Stunned at that. Leeds have struggled when teams have hit them fast in transition, so we’ve picked the slowest team of the season?

If the game ends up being over before the inevitable changes are made then big questions to be answered...

 

[R. Slicker]

WTF is that? I've tried to support the bloke but come on! To think we may have had a chance with Tau running at them.
He can clear off, in fact, after watching the penalties given to West Brom, Football can **** off.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Potter must want the boot

 

[BN41Albion]

Ffs. Tau looked brilliant the other day. Taken off at 1-0 presumably to save him for today. Of course, GP surprises us and sticks him on the bench.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

On a more positive note, I’m DELIGHTED that Mac keeps his place.

 

[Seasidesage]

Potter in currently, but no Bissouma really?

 

[The Fits]

Really, really worried about this midfield with their energy. Tau would have loved running in to that space they leave too.
Fingers crossed for this one.

 

[Weststander]

Klich, Rodrigo and Struijk, versus a Bissouma-less Gross, White and MacAllister in CM.

A big gamble by Potter.

No excuses if we lose, this time the buck will stop with him.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

If you thought FB would go nuts over Tau not being selected have a look at the mayhem khadra followers are creating. We certainly have thousands more followers lately.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Whenever I shudder at the selection, it seems to go well. Fingers crossed.

Is this the third time you’ve done it?

Sooner we get relegated now, the better. Get this stupid idiot out of the club

It's good to have you on board

 

[Driver8]

I was looking forward to this game but not with that lineup.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

It'll be interesting to find out what the thinking behind that selection is. Really surprised there's no Bissouma, he must have a slight knock/illness?

 

[dazzer6666]

Really?

We know what to expect we've seen it for the last season. You play your best players. Biss missing is utter madness in the extreme.

....unless he’s carrying a niggle [emoji2369]

On a more positive note, I’m DELIGHTED that Mac keeps his place.

Just another good game away from losing it though..

 

[dstanman]

So a normal Potter selection to keep everyone guessing
