Brighton (A) - Thu 25th April, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[RayCTID]

Encouraging random stats,

• Brighton are one short of 100 Premier League defeats - their first loss in the competition was at home against Manchester City in August 2017.​
• The Seagulls have won only six of their last 26 league games.​
• They need to win their remaining six fixtures to equal last season's final points total of 62.​
• Brighton have failed to score in all three of their midweek Premier League games so far in 2024, drawing 0-0 with both West Ham and Brentford and losing 4-0 to Luton.​
• Albion have scored just four goals in seven Premier League matches since beating Sheffield United 5-0 in February.​
• Danny Welbeck has failed to score in his 18 Premier League appearances against Manchester City, for five different clubs: Sunderland, Manchester United, Arsenal, Watford, Brighton.​

The last stat is a little concerning.......

Good lineup that
Come on CITY

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

6 man box midfield!

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

So after all that arguing, no Grealish or Doku! :-)

I will never agree with Foden out wide anymore. Foden should be in the 10 role anything else doesn’t sit right with me.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

As I predicted I think walker will be offering the width wide right. KDB and Bernardo centeal

 

[abu13]

Anyone know where i can find a stream for this tonight.

 

[youngbob]

Decent line-up.

 

[GX Blue]

That’s a weak side for them.

Big chance now, Blues! C’mon!

I agree. Anyway come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[PragueBlue]

Good team that but personally would prefer Foden in a more central role and Grealish in. However, players need rotating for the run in and we have an impressive bench if needed.

 

[RayCTID]

Hopefully Alvarez gets some confidence back. We do create plenty of opportunities and we do have the players who are more than capable of chipping in from midfield.

 

[MCFC1993]

Looks fairly fluid, should dominate the ball and hopefully create plenty of chances.

Might miss Grealish though.

No one for them to cross to.

Yep, not much goal threat on our bench otherwise ha

What’s the point in Walker being high and wide. The guy does nothing in an attacking sense.

 

[CTID1988]

I hate Foden on the wing

 

[york away to this!]

Cummmonnnnnn you fuckers!

 

[MCFC1993]

They're plagued with injuries, got to be causing them problems.

Cant fully relax until Eccles puts their pre match post up
