Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - Wed 24th May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Because Brighton play football and are not cloggers, I expect most of the Cup Final team will get a run out here with the lesser lights being given the task of getting kicked to pieces at Brentford.

B team again please, it was great to see them out there, and Pep will be able to evaluate them even more in match action. Brentford is where we should go stronger again, a week before the rags. We can give mins to starters if we struggle/they want or need it (Haaland for goals :).

How was Kalvin Phillips today. Missed the game?

City team rent special bus for Brighton away

This is the game for Pep to “overthink” and get it out of his system. Then 3 great wins to end the season.

Shut the fuck up. Pep is a genius and you come out with that shite, fucking village idiot

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Palmer and Philips should both be starting this again.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

A win for me, 2-0 as they will be on the beach

Well, they haven't too far to go.

Meh, not involved much but had a header hit the post. Nowhere near the level to be starting games for us

A win for me, 2-0 as they will be on the beach with Europe wrapped up and we will have our weaker side out.

Otherwise 3-0.

Only Europa Conference is wrapped up, they still need a point for Europa League which is a big incentive for them.

Mate have you had a look at their goal difference compared to Villa? I reckon they are certainties for the Europa League already ;-)

Brighton have it all to play for to get a place in the Europa League.
It will be hugely difficult for Pep to inspire the team to perform in what is a dead rubber for us, with the team subconsciously thinking about the cup final, and having just got past celebrating the title. Hope I’m wrong but I can see this match marking the end of our winning streak, particularly as I’m going and want to see us perform well. I think he’ll start almost full strength (without Walker and Akanji) and make quite a few early second half subs to bring on a few of today’s team.
