Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Apart from Haaland, where do the goals come from?
Gvardiol is our top scorer over the last six games. Followed by Stones and Haaland. Players you'd normally rely on, like Foden, Bernardo, Doku, Savinho, Gundogan and KDB, can barely manage a shot on target between them, and some cannot even manage a shot.
 
Yeh Brighton a week off City away in UCL
Already this season have played 5 games more than Brighton and Bournemouth ( who also had a week off before they played us) our last 2 PL opponents coupled with the injuries and lack of rotation Unless we can get the injured back it will become a vicious cycle as the fittest will have to play 3 games a week its not sustainable

I've moaned before about the fixture schedule but 4 away games on the spin does not help.

I know you can't help cup draws but too many of these HH AA fixture runs in the league schedule during the season.

I used to believe the best team wins the league, end of. But now, I'm not so sure.

Old lady luck taking care of fixture planning, injuries, player form and playing opposition when they are in good form or are performing shit, has much more bearing on results than anything else.

Plus, everyone raises their game for the Champions, fair enough but it means we have to be on it or, lucky all the time.

Not giving up yet just cos the Dippers are on a good run, it won't last.
I reckon we have as much chance if not more of winning the title, albeit with a lower points total than previous years.
 
We're here during this point every season.

People on here lose their heads and declare our season over.

Then we kick on after Christmas and win the league.

Those people are then quiet until the following year.
I've never doubted our ability to be involved in the title race for the past 12 years but at the start of this season with our players undercooked I thought we'd have our toughest season, when Rodri suffered his injury things got a whole lot tougher.

I don't think we'll win it this season, it's not the end of the world but I'm thinking recruitment on the back of the charges had been difficult.

I'm no pessimist but this is our most challenging season, I'd take top 4 (or 5 if we get that many slots in the CL next season), cleared of the charges then rebuild just as Pep did in his second season with us. And, I really hope Pep stays to oversee the rebuild, he's a genius.

KDB has only played 30 minutes in the last 6 games!

Agree with a lot of what you say here mate.

But... I don't believe we couldn't have signed a few worldy players to the squad..

Even with the charges hanging over us.

Stinks of being stingy penny pinchers on our part.
 
Haaland had a great first 35 to 40 min today..held it up well, knocked one on with his head
.all very rare...but ive always thought it was never a Pep buy.. just play better with false 9 and cycling / rotating positions up top. Im never convinced he really wanted big erl..doesn't suit his tiki taki stuff
Not sure Big Erl suits a Pep team once you hollow out all the other goal scorers.
