Brighton & Hove Albion (H) - Sat 15th March, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 GMT.

Positive is we don't have to think about football all week. Show up half-arsed to this one and we'll get beat.

The 4 that start behind Haaland need to pull their finger out and start creating chances and taking risks.

1-1 with fulham at moment another tough game

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

After today we're back in "eeeekkk" territory.
Defensively we're much better, but we're creating the sum total of nothing.
Gotta try Marmoush from the start again - pick one of Phil or Bernie to miss out for me - other than that I suspect it's the same XI

 

[wattle]

Please, please , PLEASE pep - go back to the Newcastle tactics going longer to Marmoush and Haaland. PLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[blue whippet]

Went for a win today but after our ineffective midfield and forward line today I think we will struggle. Gone for a loss, sadly. Looking forward to seeing Khusanov play again though.

 

[RayCTID]

The Forest game was a fine margain that if we had a bit of fortune would have clawed something out of, even with a collective fuck up with their winner. Brighton are of similar standard and although we must start improving our cutting edge there were small signs of encouragement.

 

[jimharri]

That's turned into a huge game now.

Mind you, I said the same thing about today.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Gone for a win but no real conviction, we do perform better at home tho and Brighton may actually come out to allow us a bit of space.

 

[Gray]

Give Echeverri a chance.

 

[I'm Blue]

Give Echeverri a chance.

Yep he’s quick skilful and direct.
Everything we’re not at the minute.
On today’s display there’s plenty of players places he can take.
I think he could be an outstanding player for us and we might as well bed him in now.

 

[DWIFF]

Must win now if we want Champions league football next season.

 

[Blu1]

I have no idea if we will win this but all I ask is do not play the players that are done

Got to be better than the current version of Phil Foden.

 

[I'm Blue]

Got to be better than the current version of Phil Foden.

100%
I’d start Echeverri over Phil, Kev and Bernardo on this season’s form.

Ederson
Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol
Nico, Gundogan
Savinho, Foden, Marmoush
Haaland

Back to what we did against Newcastle. Boggles my mind that we won 4-0 with that front six and Pep hasn't played it since.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Really looking forward to this one

Foden? What has he done this season to deserve a starting spot every week. He has pissed me off these last few weeks.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Khusanov and 10 others, honestly couldn't give a fuck

Ideally one of the 10 can play in net, but doesn't necessarily have to be a keeper

Literally who else do you put there?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I would have anyone there but him at the moment. He deserves dropping and staying dropped until he pulls his finger out.
