Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[der bomber28]

Just watched that training video, and like the fact that in the drill they want them to score in a time limit. Added to peps comments, about liking us to score quicker, looks like it’s not just us that wants it done and dusted early. Also shouting for them to be aggressive, calmed the nerves a bit. Only slightly mind. ;)

Can we stop this nonsense that the Liverpool game is irrelevant. If they don't win, City are Champions (barring some ridiculous turn of events which isn't going to happen).

The probability of a Liverpool win (90%) and (a Brighton win (5%) or draw (15%)) is 18%.

My figures in brackets. So as a ball park estimate, City have around an 80% chance of being Champions.

This doesnt look right to me. You have Liverpool at 90% to win against a rather good Wolves side and us at only 80% against a pretty dismal Brighton side? Sounds like media "punditry" (well ok, they prob have scousers at 110% and us at 25%). I would reverse those in which case City winning is 92%. Feels right. There is that small chance that things could go belly up, but it's gotta be <10%.

He'll be well up for it tomorrow

Plays like a man on a one man mission in these games , the performance he put in against spurs at home is up there with th best I’ve seen from a individual

C

That’s true.

Before his recent injury he only got 6 assists and 1 goal in 449 minutes, a poultry return of a goal created every 64 minutes.

Chicken KiEV, surely not :)

Chicken KiEV, surely not :)

For reference, if he kept that fowl rate up, and played in every minute of every match we’ve had this season, he would have created 85 goals (assisting or scoring).

I love that before you even look at the mins per goal comparison that Aguero will be top of the pile and that this is the likely reason Aguero hasn't already wrapped up the golden boot... Salah's only had the slight advantage of playing 900 more minutes haha.

Both Ederson and Alisson have 20 clean sheets, what happens if they both get a clean sheet tomorrow?

Allisson gets it as he plays for the plucky academy-bred underdogs

We'll show no Mercy.....

I think that bass line beat will be faster and faster with the minutes

Just occurred to me that the cornerstone of the Wolves defence (and current captain) is one Conor Coady, born in Liverpool, played for Liverpool and dipper fan to boot.
Don’t suppose the dippers may be getting the odd helping hand there....

5-1. Kun scores 4 and gets golden boot

Hopefully Brighton score 0 and Ederson gets to at least share the Golden Glove.
