Lopez.

The club twitter feed originally listed Lualua, so maybe there was a late change, or their mistake was picked up by everyone else.

KLL was there and warming up before the game with the squad and after they went in he carried on with a couple of sprints and jogs across the width of the pitch but certainly didn't look happy.

Radio Sussex said Lua Lua I must admit I didn't hear them change it if they did.

Not until late in the first half when Aspinall pointed out Lualua wasn't on the bench after it was suggested he might be a left back option with Orlandi about to come off injured.

Who suggested LuaLua at leftback?! What an experience that would have been for all...

I still want to say Andrew Hawes, but I think I mean Johnny Cantor. I believe it was more just because he plays left wing so him dopping back keeps a left sided player back there. Plus, he's have some pace to stay with Bolasie or Zaha, it would just be a question of positional discipline, I suppose.

Positional discipline? LuaLua?! Cantor has seen more of Brighton than anyone else in the last few years, suggesting LuaLua to play at left back is bizarre. And he's very right footed. I think it's a great shame we insist on playing him on the left, he'd be so much more dangerous on the right. He does have decent delivery with his left but it would be so much more natural from the right.
