Brighton & Hove Albion (H) - Wed 7th Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 19:30 GMT.

Injuries, tiredness, Wednesday will be tough.

 

[bellsouth]

Who’s fit?

 

[TinFoilHat]

 

[Goaters]

Big result needed and we need to rotate as Brighton will attack us so legs are needed.

I worry if Dias and Gvardiol are injured as Nico looks gassed and Ake has lost his legs.

Donnaruma,
Nunes,
Gvardiol (hopefully just an impact knock)
Khus,
Nico,
Nico G
Mukasa,
Lewis,
Semenyo,
Cherki,
Haaland.

If I was Viana I’d be trying to get in Guehi and Anderson pronto. We can’t rely on injury prone players anymore.

Donnarumma
Nunes Khusanov Dias Ake

Semenyo signed and starting in 3 days?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if we might recall Reis.

Obviously it’s a bit of a stretch, but I think we need a level of urgency as it’s clearly getting done before the 10th.

Cant really rotate that’ll have to wait till Fa cup game.

Brighton can affect city here but I’ll say 2-1 city

Wouldn't rotate too much but O'Reilly definitely needs a break, been knackered for weeks and Khusanov looked decent when he came on today

 

[urban genie]

if dias and josko are not fit

donna
nunes
khush
ake
orielly
rodders
gonzo
tianji
cherki
haaland
doku

 

[hertsblue]

Hard to see where a goal let alone a win will come from on recent form. Squad choice for the game is down to a bare minimum to put out a decent 1st 11 and half of them look shattered.
Brighton have pace up front so another tough challenge but hopefully we can squeeze enough effort out of the players before resting them for the FA Ciup but so much more is needed out of our attacking players who have been dreadful 2 games running now.

 

[bellsouth]

If Egypt lose tomorrow could we get Marmoush back quickly?? Haaland needs a break as does O’Reilly so Algeria losing on Tuesday wouldn’t be the worst outcome either!

Yeah, it'd be nice for them to get their customary 6-8 mins at the end of our games. Not a dig at you btw, just annoyed how they have been used.

 

[Gorbachev]

Pep apparently said Josko's injury doesn't look good.

Dias out as well

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Bring your boots, might get a game.

Full of injuries at the busiest time of the season.

If we can pull the title out of this it'll rank up there with one of our best efforts.

 

[Damanino]

we cannot even afford rotation to many players. Haaland, Foden, OReilly, Nunes has to play all minutes again.

bench will be funny, 8 academy players with Trafford, Lewis being most senior. maybe include Bettinelli and Ortega too.:)

 

[Fordyboy46]

I feel for us in this game, physically fucked, injuries galore and players totally out of form. Brighton are an energetic team and we could be chasing shadows for large parts of the game. Donarumma, Nunes, Ake, Khusanov, O'reilly, Lewis, Bernardo, Reijnders, Doku, Cherki, Haaland

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Time to recall the CBs ?
