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

[Notters]

My first game of the season so I'll personally see to it that were loose.

 

[Official Old Man]

Up at 4:30 and on our way.

Will (family commitments permitting) be listening on the wireless. Alternatively I’ll be putting the new “live updates” feature to the test and scrolling through this thread to keep up to date.

Pleased to see a number of Albion shirts just now at A40 Warwick services. Unfortunately we are not headed for the game but visiting daughter who is at University a bit further north. Predict a hard fought 1 - 2 to Albion.

The hardest game of the season, as per usual, so any result from this match would be outstanding

 

[Perfidious Albion]

We have never won up there … so I doubt that we will today. . At least we are now in a position to give them a game which we weren’t it one time … A good performance is all I ask . Good luck to those able to go, I hope you get there and back o k .

What pub are people aiming for?

 

[BLOCK F]

I’d take a point, but can’t see it happening.

 

[WATFORD zero]

A good performance, and what will be will be

Tough game today. But let’s have a go. We have the quality to be able to give them a good run.
Slightly surprised to see Veltman dropped but looks a good line up.

 

[El Turi]

I’m very surprised Milner is starting. He hasn’t looked up to it since we signed him and has been injured for a while.

 

[Affy]

Question is, is Milner playing DM, LB or RB?

No Veltman, no van Hecke.
Worrying but in Roberto we trust

Our bench looks pretty strong mind

 

[Affy]

I would probably have opted for JPVH and Dunky with Igor LB over Milner. But then I thought March would get destroyed by Salah and he was excellent Which is why I’m posting here rather than giving motivational talks in a dressing room at this time of day

 

[BevBHA]

Worrying starting against Man City with presumably March and Milner as full backs. Wouldn’t of been concerned last year as city didnt have wingers that would go 1v1 often (Grealish, Silva) but now they have Doku and he’s starting. Doku vs Milner is incredibly worrying

 

[brighton_tom]

Happy with the team, but Milner (if playing right back) needs to show an improved performance than we've seen previously in that position. Would have had Veltman myself.

 

[Littlemo]

Not a fan of Milner over Veltman.
