Brighton (A) - Thu 25th April, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

The lack of appreciation of what Kevin De Bruyne brings to our team is amazing to me. Get the game won (hopefully, taking nothing for granted) and then take him off would seem like the best plan to me

This.

 

[Oldham Exile]

Last season I parked in the city centre and got the train, free with a match ticket. No parking options near the ground

Much appreciated - my ideal trip would be train to Brighton and train to Falmer - but nervous that I will not be able to get a train back after the match - so this could work well

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Assuming no Erling or Phil:

Ederson
Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Stones Rodri
Doku Bernardo KDB Grealish
Alvarez

Possible Phil was given an extra day after playing the entirety of both games last week?

Or maybe just having teatment to niggles. Let's hope.

Brighton take chances at the back. We have to press high, especially at Dunk.

Sounds like Phil has been having plenty of teatment from his Missus.

Assuming no Erling or Phil:

Ederson
Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Stones Rodri
Doku Bernardo KDB Grealish
Alvarez

I think Bernie said he had a couple of niggles on Saturday, hopefully ok

 

[Blue Steel]

Pep may go with Doku to start after his impressive cameo on Sunday. Both Grealish and Doku are in decent form and I think Pep will rotate between the two over the next couple of games.

Radical I know but maybe for once they could BOTH play with Doku starting on the right.

Worked against Villa well and fuck knows why Pep is so reluctant to do it, considering Doku is actually a winger who can play on the right and we don’t have many of those. Bernardo needs a rest.

Jack is in good form and needs to be starting these games. And finishing them. Baffled as to why he keeps getting subbed at 60-70 when others are dying on their arse.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

In the system we’ve been using I’d actually go with;

Ederson;
Akanji Stones Gvardiol
Rodri Kovacic
Walker Bernardo KDB Doku
Alvarez
