Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[Hellephant]

Mahrez, why Pep? Mahrez has been shit all season. He stole the penalty, and missed it, vs Liverpool. Pep, this can end in a catastrophe.

We will still win no problem, but in no way does Navas i mean Mahrez deserve to be in that team

 

[the plasterer]

Got really bad vibes about this, admittedly im the most pessimistic old bastard going but Mahrez??, im a nervous wreck

 

[ninjamonkey]

The best thing about mahrez starting is that we get Bernardo in his best position. That’s the only positive I can find. Please prove us all wrong. In fact on that basis and just to cover all bases, the whole team is shit!

 

[Andrew___K]

Probably best possible lineup, allows to play Bernardo inside and Sterling on the left where he looks most dangerous.

As for Sane, he's been terrible since the start of the year, BM's love for him seems almost irrational to me. Mahrez is a logical choice for the RW position, we don't have any alternatives really.

Mahrez has looked like he couldn't give a shit more or less every time he's played apart from early on in the season. Let's hope he can be arsed to at least put a bit of effort in today.

 

[BosnianBlue]

Pep is some cocky fucker. From all games, he picks Mahrez today. Lol-

 

[domalino]

5Live now have Rory Smith on to tell us how City fans are wrong to think the media want Liverpool to win, despite basically saying he and Henry Winter (the other guest) want them to win.

 

[80s Shorts]

Absolutely fuming about this, does Pep realise we're on the cusp of winning the league and he goes and starts with Mahrez.

No, he thinks we're going for a kickabout at the park.

 

[SWP's back]

Premier league winning Mahrez starts. You'll excuse me if I don't join you all in shitting myself till we see how it unfolds.

This is why we should have bought Premier League winning Johnny Fucking Ans ahead of Stones.
