Chris Sutton on the BBC predicts we'll win 6-2 !!!!

Haaland and Alvarez hatrick yes please

After the magnificent efforts of last season the team are basically shattered.

I am yet to see a performance that fills me with any confidence so far this season.

I would bite your hand off for an FA Cup win and a CL repeat.

On the whole I agree, but I thought we were sensational for the first 50 mins v Forest.

Any type of win will do.

That can’t be true De Zerbi is the new messiah with pep mk2 playing style etc..etc..

This is the first time in a while I feel like I’ve seen such varied viewpoints on what we “need” for this game. It’s either we have to go with all our ball carriers so start Doku and Foden because there is plenty of room. Or we need to lock it down so it’s all about Grealish and Ake and Akanji. Either Walker has to start or absolutely doesn’t because we either need speed or need control. Obviously we always have back and forth on our starters. It just seems like there are a lot of diverse viewpoints on how Brighton play - more so than other teams - and thus how we need to set up to counteract.

He is going off the Brighton game at Villa Park, they were tonked.

It's certainly not a must win game, There's only 7 games played in the league and we are only two points off top spot.

In regards to getting back on track It's important seen as we've lost the last three in all competitions.

We'll win tomorrow no doubt about it.

Just domestically we beat RB in Europe

 

[NikT]

It's important that we beat Brighton to get our confidence back but also to put pressure on Arsenal in their game vs Chelsea.

Julian and Bernardo are critical. Their game is too dependent on their back four plus keeper playing out from the back, we need our best pressers up front.
