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

[chickaroon]

We need somebody with legs to play DM.

-----------------Ederson
KW/RL---Akanji---Dias---Gvardiol
-------------------Stones
---------De Bruyne----Foden
BS/Savio-----Haaland-------JD/JG

That's the team to play if they're fit for me. Just need to get to January.

Stones and Dias are injured.

Stones and Dias are injured.

That's my team if they're all fit. I've give up guessing for the time being.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I don't believe we can turn this around with the players we have available. In my opinion we need to buy a replacement for Rodri to add energy and steel in the midfield and a new right back. Hopefully in January.
The injuries are crippling us as well. I think some are playing carrying injuries to get us through this time before the international break. If I am right, then not many of our squad will be going off to play for their country.
Rodri is a huge miss, as we all know. In the current squad no one can directly replace him or come close to doing so.
We have to support our boys and hope we have some fit, refreshed players after the international break to see us through to January.

Replace Rodri?? thats like saying replace Mbappe or Vinicious jnr..

some players are truly irreplacable.

 

[jrb]

Go with 2 strikers.

Then again, maybe not.

 

[manimanc]

We'll probably go there and smash them 4 or 5-1.

Typical city has been brought back to life.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Fuck knows what team will start this game.

We need to go back to basics, I remember the season we brought Ruben Dias in we went to a more pragmatic approach and made it hard for teams to break us down.

Maybe we need to do the same and play the opposite at there own game, Sit in and look for counter attacks. At the minute it's far too easy for opposition when the win the ball against us to play a ball in behind and be clean through on goal. They don't even have to work for the goals.

Being realistic it's a tough ask on Saturday with the way we are performing, This is the last game before the break which I'm looking forward to as it will hopefully help get some players back.

Foden had his best game for a while.

Savio flattered to deceive, Haaland doesn’t get enough service.

The second half was the worst I’ve seen for a while.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Foden had his best game for a while.

Savio flattered to deceive, Haaland doesn’t get enough service.

The second half was the worst I’ve seen for a while.

Agreed.

Foden looked back to his usual self in the first half, Unfortunately himself and the team took a huge drop off in the second half.

Overall we need to use Haaland more, For a striker that 6ft plus along with being absolutely rapid we don't use him anywhere near enough.

Last night he did have chances he could have well went home with a matchball, That's the worrying part, When Haaland doesn't score who else have we got to chip in...The only one is our left back Gvardiol!

 

[Cellarite]

That's my team if they're all fit. I've give up guessing for the time being.

You'd leave Rodri out? Madness.

 

[york away to this!]

I see the woe is me brigade are out.
Even if we only had four players in the squad my blue-blindness would make me vote for a resounding victory...
