[Albion] Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Always find it best to avoid the first two pages of the matchday thread. And then often, the last 30 or so.

Through to page three lads, no excuses.

If Dunk and Pedro can return, plus Welbeck then we have a good chance. We showed on Wednesday that we can match them . So with a little bit of luck, we could be laughing tonight, maybe!
Anyway, whatever the score

Are away to Liverpool followed by home Man City still classed as free hits

I think so. I go largely by the wonderful tracker, one win from Liverpool (a), Man City (h) or Bournemouth (a) will leave us dead on par for Europe.

Although City could be down to eight fit players by next Saturday. You can bet whiney Pep will want to postpone the game

Good luck with that, they’d have to forfeit. We’re no friends of Man City at a club level having taken the PL’s side in their ongoing case. No chance it gets postponed. Plus, their 8 fit players would very probably get into most teams in the world.

Next few games I hope we are competitive, no injuries or suspensions, and by Bournemouth we could very well have O’Riley, Pedro, Dunk and maybe even March to choose from. Things are looking bright.

Expect us to get a tonking today against a very, very good side.

 

[Flounce]

I am going with the mindset that we’ll get nothing from the next two games and may also get a thumping or maybe two. ANYTHING from either game will be a massive plus

Ali Mac missing a penalty and then winking at Brighton fans would also be ideal

 

[jcdenton08]

I really want to see a better start from us though. We’ve started so poorly in many games under Hürzeler and we need to show more intensity from the very first whistle.

I thought we started well against Wolves. We just finished very very weakly.

Safe travels to all those going today, have fun and enjoy the win.

31 posts so far and I can only see 11 of them

Well we know it won't be Bournemouth , so we'll have to beat either Liverpool or City to stay on track.

So excited

were loose

3/4 of the way to Liverpool. Sadly no match ticket. Just collecting daughter from Uni

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Through to the next round here lads, no excuses.

See you in the Swan for pre match pint.

Hmmm, it's borderline but not for me anymore.

Certainly not Liverpool. While I don't expect us to win or even draw, either result is possible and wouldn't be an earth shattering result so I don't think we can go in with the idea that anything other than a whooping is a positive.

Man City is tougher. We have an appalling record against them but again while they are obviously a better team than us I feel we're close enough that a draw wouldn't stop the world spinning and nor, despite it's unlikelihood, would a win.

So, not free hits but not ones I'm going to beat myself up over if we lose either(unless we're absolute dogshit and just trot around the pitch not trying. Which isn't that likely).

This.

 

[Official Old Man]

When would we want Matt O'Riley to be put into the team?
It has taken a while for all the new players to gel together and I would rather he played in a low key game (is there such a thing in the EPL) than get found out at Liverpool.
Two up (or down) v Liverpool or City and then have him on for 20 minutes please.

I can't think further than how happy I am going to visit a top of the table Liverpool at Anfield and actually believing we have a reasonable chance of winning.
