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

[swindonseagull]

Been here since yesterday
Few hours in the Avro museum this morning, then a small football match and a curry in Rusholme tonight celebrating a smash and grab win

 

[WATFORD zero]

Haaland 8 Brighton 0

My mojo is at rock bottom right now. I'll probably go out for a walk or clean the house at 3.

Bet you don't

I am quite relaxed and looking forward to today, what's the worse that could happen

 

[Official Old Man]

Forest came to the Amex and played 6 at the back (in a perfect straight line) going to 8 when we had the ball. At Albion corners though they kept 2 up front meaning we had to keep 3 or 4 back. They came to defend and defend they did. Problem is we don't know how to play that way.
Anything under 7 would not be embarrasing but would not be good for moral.

Nothing like getting behind the team..

 

[Wokeworrier]

Anything other than 0 points would be a miracle today.

We just won't be able to contain Haaland in particular.

I think we can score against them. Maybe even more than one. The problem is they will score more than we do, and then some more after that.

I'm just hoping for a good performance and a respectable scoreline.

Liquid breakfast?

Can they hear you shouting at a radio then?

Was working in York this week. Went out for a curry with a colleague on Tuesday rather than watch in a pub or online. I've genuinely lost all interest. The only threads I've been on till yesterday were the Truss ones.

Can they hear you shouting at a radio then?

I hope they bloody do, otherwise all the sore throats I have given myself over the years have been for nothing

 

[albionalbino]

I feel nothing but desperately pessimistic about today, which in turn leads me to think we're in with a chance as I'm usually wrong, which fills me with hope.....
The Albion Paradox

 

[Driver8]

I’m going but not sure why as I hate seeing us lose. I’m expecting to leave at half time!

 

[Peter Ward]

Hahaland to score an own goal.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

The easiest FPL captain’s choice I’ve ever made.


Sanchez

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Fatigue? Time to rotate the strikers then.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I’d like to see some changes today. There is fatigue and lack of scoring to deal with.

Something like this:

————————-Sanchez—————————
Lamptey—Veltman—Dunk—Webster—Estupinain
———Gilmour——-Mac Allister——Caicedo——-
————————Sarmiento—————————-
————————Welbeck——————————-

 

[brighton_tom]

Well done to all those making the trip, there was about 100 tickets left out of 3500ish when I checked yesterday morning, so assuming pretty much sold out now.

 

[dadams2k11]

All ready lubed up waiting for over the barrel for this one.

Can't see them not scoring less than the 4 today.

Changing the team is one thing, including wholesale changes all round. Start JPH, Gilmour and Encisco but should we lose heavily how would their mentality be post match and can De Zerbi bring them back up again. If we all feel down for a few days how do you think the players must be after a hiding to nothing.
On the other hand we could win!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Why not give Welbeck a rest and give Undav a decent runout for once? It's a free hit anyways. Imagine what it would do to his and the team's confidence if he were to make an immediate impact!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

We'll do well to get nil today....good time for alcohol consumption

 

[Eggman]

2-1 Brighton. Nailed on.
