Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Sun 31st Aug, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Most of the game will depend on whether our midfield can outplay Baleba.

We created bugger all in the 2nd half the players looked like they had been thrown together with no idea at all of what they were supposed to be doing.

Yes, I commented on the Matchday thread that we were playing like strangers.

Maybe Foden picked up a knock at Creamfields whilst partying with that bowl headed geordie steroid freak last week ? Or maybe he felt a twinge at the Tommy Fury film premier a couple of days earlier ?

What channel is it on in the Uk? Thanks

Yes because none of our other players attend events like that.

Is he not allowed to go out?
Is shopping ok? Picking the kids up from wherever they are?

Any info if Ederson has travelled with the squad to Brighton,someone posted that foden hadn’t as we knew he was injured..

 

[Keith Moon]

We're gonna murder them! 0-4

Ederson is on his way to Carrington for a medical ;)

Not with Bobb and Doku…

3rd game in I know but if we don’t beat these today I don’t expect us to keep up in any PL title race, I am not being pessimistic just saying how it is, we need to go out there today and batter them

 

[Lincolnshire Blue]

If lewis starts, i'd like to see us go 3 at the back and use him and ait-nouri as wing backs, we have been caught out far too many times with him at right back and we stick with the same formation... granted it wont happen, just what i would to see personally

 

[RegMuffin]

Last Saturday was downright weird. Strangers lacking confidence and commitment. Out thought and out fought. Worlds apart from Wolves the week before.

I can see us bouncing back strongly today.

3-0 win and another club record in the bag.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not looking forward to this one.

Still have PTSD from out visit last year and Walker's performance.

No Foden and Cherki really limits the creativity in the central areas.

I'd like to see Reijndeers play in the ten, with Rodri and Gonzales behind him.

Bobb and Doku down the sides and Marmoush coming on if we need to look for something different.

 

[Bluearmy]

hopefully marmoush starts at ten which is where he should be anyway and doku and bobb with a mf of reinjnders and rodri

Thats far too open for me. Especially to start. Prefer Rodri/Nico/Rudolph in the middle, at least to start the game!!

How dare he act like a normal, red-blooded 20-something?!? Disgraceful.

Can anybody think of any decent monks we could sign?



Maybe people (including Pep) should have concentrated less on what Jack did off the pitch instead of harping on, enviously, about his social life. It never affected his attitude or effort on the pitch as far as I could see.

Let's not do the same to Phil...

 

[Longballutd]

Trafford
Khusanov
Stones
Dias
Ait Nouri
Rodri
Reijnders
Marmoush
Bobb
Doku
Haaland

Squad looks so weak these days compared to 2-3 years ago, damning that Pep said the same yesterday to be honest

Yeah it really does

Would prefer Lewis didn’t play at all tbh.

What’s up with Cherki, injured? That’s a bit shit if he is.

So if even Pep thinks so why do we keep pulling out of signings if someone else offers £100m? We won’t get to the top again with average signings, needs a couple of world stars to replace the likes of Kev.
