Brighton (a) pre-match thread

[DMA's]

For the people saying Brighton won’t park the bus clearly don’t know a lot about them and Chris hughton.

He is arguably the most defensive manager in the league he makes Sean dyche look like Johan cruyff.

 

[DMA's]

Why would Brighton park the bus? They're safe, nothing to lose

The only way they can move up a place is if they win the game

Surely they'd want to end the season having a go and giving their fans some entertainment

Because it is the way hughton always approaches every game away from home and against the better sides. He even got sacked at norwich for basically being too defensive. He is a top bloke but a dire manager

2-1 Brighton

That'll do me Tiny. I'm in.

I hope Pep gives them all the day off today. Nice long lie-in, cuddle with the wife/girlfriend, big late breakfast, play with the kids, sit around in the garden in the afternoon, good dinner and another cuddle, them back to work on Wednesday. No training today I hope.

I just hope none of ours injure themselves during the vigorous cuddling.

Hope for a nice 3 or 4 nil, not sure I can take travelling down there to see us get beaten, it’s not going to happen like that is it ?

This is where Pep will have to earn his money, there is going to be nothing simple about this game and we are going to have to fight for title.

The important thing is to be patient and to take control of the game, they showed in the semi final that they can defend deep and frustrate us. If we were to let one in then it could be a very tough afternoon all round.

I suspect we may be going in at half time 0-0 again but they boys to pull it around in the 2nd half.

I can't see Sane starting after last night, Pep seemed livid with him shortly after coming off the bench.

Don’t have a problem with that. He only bottles it in front of rabid crowds and they’ll be out for a party too.
