Brighton (H) - Wed 20th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Father Paul]

A tough one to call this

I am going 2-1 City but not even the slight bit confident about it. Far too many cracks have been appearing in our game since January.

If we go 2-0 up the plan will be to play keep ball for the rest of the game and conserve energy.

I agree, that is probably what will happen.

 

[CityDean]

Little nervous about this one. Hopefully we can grind it out. Brighton don't score many so I think if we can defend like we did in Atletico, we should edge it. Do like there left back need to keep an eye on him (Cucarella?).

Please please no sterling near the team .

After the weekend we need to wipe our mouths and start again.
We have the experience and know how when it comes to these run ins.
We need to bring the sauce and let that other mob that the title is ours and we ain’t letting it go.

I mentioned the cracks after the Southampton game and said that Liverpool had gained momentum but the happy clappers denounced me .very quiet now though .

These will give us a game tomorrow. If we're even slightly off we will struggle, and if things get nervy I can see it having a big impact on us. We need to play every game with the intensity we play against Liverpool/United/Chelsea. Get at them from the off, and do not relent until we are at least 2 goals ahead and only then can we start to prioritise controlling the game and seeing it out. Jesus. Foden and Bernardo are our 3 key men to play like that, they're the catalysts for our high intensity games, 2 of those minimum need to start every game until its over

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Kdb
Jesus
Foden
Mahrez

Us fans need to be right on it too, we will be chasing the scousers by tomorrow, we need to be loud and encouraging from the kick off, if we are quietly pissing our pants it could seep through onto the pitch

I just hope that the players are more confident and optimistic than a large number of posters on here. Yes, Brighton may be difficult to break down, but we have more than enough talent in our squad to beat them. The crowd really need to get behind the team tomorrow night from the start. Come on, let’s give them a massive boost.

I think we’ll win tomorrow. Brighton will come to play which I think will work in our favour.

I've known clinically depressed people more optimistic than a large number of posters on here!
