Brighton (A) - Pre match thread - Finally!

A 1-0 with no injuries will do really,hope we are better in defence now and don't conceed from every shot like last year

Pep has spoke about the use of the 3-4-3 diamond midfield in the last three pre season matches so I think he'll go with it again. Either Yaya plays and one of De Bruyne or Silva miss out or he plays one of them at the pivot and has Stones or Kompany play as a libero. Alternatively, he plays one of them out wide and so Sterling and Sane are both on the bench.

The first 2 games are getting me more nervous, we need to be 3-0 up in first 20 min to calm my nerves:)

Have not voted on the score cos I dont want to jinx it but I am really looking forward to this season. Truly believe that we will play some fantastic football, whether that will convert to trophies I dont know, but now Pep has had time to sort things out we will see his ideas interpreted a lot better this season. As for the game, a win with a good performance would be great (even if the media will play it down).

hehe... Amen to that, just thinking the same thing ... But "In pep we trust", i have faith, I think we wilm end up 4 or 5 -0 n top of the table ... so lets keep calm and faith

A crazy start to EPL, 13 goals and 1 red card . HUd at top of the tbl....Pep and City will "restor order" in the premier league, and show who's in "controll"

Hoping for a strong start
