Brighton (a) pre-match thread

I think there’s a fair chance Raz is going to win a pen, but who the heck would take it?

Not Mahrez ! Gundo or Sergio

You do know who the ref is don’t you?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Mahrez up against 68 year old Bruno.

No chance not with Oliver the bottler as ref ..

I don't blame Pep for not selecting Sané. You can't say he was playing well the last couple of matches.

and Mahrez has? I honestly didn't expect him to be even on the bench today.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Come on lads, bring it home!

 

[blueste41]

RE Mahrez starting, clearly Foden is injured and Pep would play my Gran before Sane so we just have to accept that.

 

[M12Blue]

Mahrez and Gundogan both start. That’s us nicely slowed down then. I was so confident this morning.

What are you talking about? No space against teams playing 10 behind the ball which I think has been sanes problem. Gundogan been v good last couple of months.

Mahrez

He's played well enough this season. Not as well as last season but better than Mahrez and hasn't really had a run of games.

Pep obviously intent on giving the dippers hope and Brighton a laugh by playing Mahrez.
He’s obviously got a plan to try and break them down. I just hope it pays off. We can’t afford to have him trying the predictable step over routine, losing possession and throwing his arms in the air. He’s not Salah, we won’t get anything today, so be prepared to be kicked into orbit without punishment.

exactly. what on earth has mahrez done to even warrant a place on the team bus?

 

[B\connellblue]

Right no need to panic just yet. All you can expect of Mahrez is he puts in an honest shift. If he doesn't he'll get hooked.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

MAHREZ HAT TRICK

 

[Jacob Smith]

I don't dislike Mahrez but today of all days...

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Pep obviously sees Mahrez as the key to unlocking their defence

I hope Peps right

Ederson.

Maybe Mahrez is playing for his future.

 

[deano ou812]

Look just glad to see Kompany,silva and aguero in there three wise heads who have performed in this type of game ..

 

[HolisticJim]

My arse is twitching, stomach is churning.

Come on city
