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

[Blue and true]

Underwhelming team, but given the circumstances what do some expect? Kev needs to be getting some serious minutes this game, otherwise what's the point of him even being there?

And the Grealish situation is a fucking joke; angers me.

 

[TinFoilHat]

The match day thread will be fun today.

Wish Pep would just give Mcatee a chance. He won’t be any worse than Gundo.

 

[I'm Blue]

Match day thread is gonna be fun : )

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

3 at the back with Walker, Gvardiol and Simpson

Rico for legs best gundo and kova I’d presume; need a huge game from Gvardiol for any semblance of a result

 

[KingGeorge]

When the fuck will KdB be fit?

It frustrates me that he has been out this long and they can’t even tell us what the injury is…At least define it

 

[Stelea]

How the hell do we end up with an 11 like that! Even Akanji missing now.
Gundo/Kova poor combo, Rico/Gvardiol out of position, plus Walkers fuckery.

 

[CatMan]

Jesus.

What are Brighton's odds?

Just put my complete balance at Paddy Power on Brighton at 3/1.
If Pep and the players cannot take this seriously, (and I'm not having it all those players are injured), then I can't either.

 

[Mr Partridge]

I’m certain this is being done deliberately now, players being ‘rested’ so their fit at the end of the season for the CWC.

Gotta be honest I've been thinking that myself for a while now but didn't want to say it. It's like injury musical chairs at the moment, one comes back, one's out. Or two come back, two out etc.

They are literally taking it in turns and we are not hearing about any problems until the day of a game. They could just be being overly cautious because of the long season or it could just be a coincidence(most likely).

I'm never normally a conspiracy theorist but it does feel like something a bit weird is going on.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Yeah, we're getting totally bummed, that is an utter car crash of a lineup. I'd be amazed if we concede less than 4. Can we go tit for tat and outscore them? Potentially, but you wouldn't put a single penny on it if you've watched us this season.

Was repeatedly informed over the summer that 6 senior defenders was enough when i said were two short and depserately had to add. This is what Pep wanted and so this is what you get when you choose to go into the longest season ever with 6 defenders.
