Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Sat 9th Nov, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match

[M23 Citizen]

The 4-1 defeat last night was a good thing in relation to this game because it will give us a right fucking much needed kick up the arse.

It’s time for something different, for me, let’s try Gvardiol in deep midfield and let’s give McAtee a bloody go, he cannot do any worse than anyone else has been dishing up.

The team and Pep will be hurting after last night. We need a performance of grit and character on Saturday. Tough game, but Brighton's record at home is not great eg Ipswich and Wolves have both got draws.

It was much more than that half an hour after the final whistle last night. It's evened up considerably. And this bears repeating over and over, it''s not what people want. It's what they expect, on the basis of what they've seen.
I personally believe that City are ready to surprise us. They've done it so many times.

Had a quick look on the BHA forum. Several of them are quite uneasy.

We definitely need to see a reaction. There's been a real lack of intensity for me recently, all through the team. If that's because it's still very early season, down to the personnel, or something else I don't know, but the words you used grit and character need to be shown on Saturday.

Absolutely zero chance of Mcatee starting when you've got Bernardo and Gundo ripping it up in Midfield. I'd give him a starting spot next to Phil, like you say he can't do any worse than some of our underperformers

Are all of our keepers injured as well?

Injuries have had a big impact obviously, but as many others have pointed out our lack of activity in the Summer transfer market has also been a factor as well.
