Brighton (A) - Pre match thread - Finally!

[frothy]

Right next to it. You couldn't park the bus closer if you tried!

OK thanks, think we will get there about 1pm so park up and head back into the centre for a few, cheers

Different scenario entirely.

We are set up to attack. Chelsea defend first essentially making it a back 5.

They used it not to be exposed. We would get caught out with it.

They have Kante as well, you need a really good defensive shield

Thanks Mate, how do you expect your team to line up and who should we be looking out for?

Brighton played 4-4-1-1 against Atletico. Two banks of four in the traditional rigid style.

Star players. Bruno (RB) older then the ref, Knockaert (RW), Dunk (CB). Brighton went up because of the overall strength of the squad rather individual stars. Six first team squad players to come back after long term (most of last season) injuries, notably Solly March and Liam Rosenior. I was going to say Beram Kayal as well, but he has broken his leg.

The old fashioned way to counter two banks of four is 4-3-3. Under Oscar Gracia Brighton were masters at exploiting three at the back, but Chris Hughton never faced it in the Championship.

City will win 7-0 or lose 2-0.

 

[urban genie]

Looking strong with nearly.a full squad available.

Cannot evem predict the team, but expect.us to win.

More importantly what time in the afternoon is some well lubricated city fan of a more beer barrel figure is gonna get stuck on this

3-1 to us.

It's very difficult second guessing Pep teams but my guess is he will go 3-5-2. Three cb's and two wing backs, Yaya, KDB and Dave with Aguero Jesus/Stirling in front of them. Hope it's a great advert for football and you guys have a real go at us. Too many teams park the bus and try and hit on the break. I suspect that won't work as easily against us this season as we have pace everywhere. Good luck for this season.

4-0 We won't score in the first half though. But we'll score in the first 5 minutes of the second, another in the 62nd, then 2 more in stoppage time.

So; what time will we concede the regulation soft goal then? I'll go for somewhere between minutes 27 and 42 in the first half.



Sorry; last season's habits die hard!
