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

Is that really going to be it though? I reckon he'll basically play in a midfield 2 again. Good experience for him, but I think clubs definitely target his lack of physicality. And Brighton have one of the best midfields in the league. Hope he wins the battle.

True, on the physical battle. He will have to provide legs and muscle for Gundogan here, so a big test. If he make it through, he should be something to watch next season.

Good lineup, important to keep the players match fit and as sharp as possible.

Bizarre lineup. Phillips, gomez, palmer and alvarez should all be starting every league game surely? To have rodri at centre back is weird too. shouldn't be playing at all for me but I don't see the point in playing him there, he's never going to play that under normal circumstances.

Meh, whatever. Pep knows best. Just don't get any injuries and I couldn't give a fuck.

With Lewis and Walker starting do you think it might be Walker at centre back with Lewis at RB and Rodri playing in his usual CM position ?
Who knows with Pep ?

They won't be totting up the price of City's bench tonight.

Lol more shots.

How can it be classed as a counter attack if you already have the ball?

For me, that's just old fashioned drawing the tackle and making the pass.

That’s why I put it in inverted commas. It looks like a counter attack in style but it isn’t.

It’s about £3.50 isn’t it. not worth the commentators getting their knickers in a twist about.

Thought it'd be reasonably strong as we need to keep our foot largely on the Gas, and also get minutes into the legs.

These lads aren't designed to play the best part of an hours football in a 7 day period!

Some players will naturally hit the ground running, some need minutes in the legs.

Been to the Goldstone loads of times pal but never here, it’s a nice stadium
