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

[yerwot?]

No matter who he picks, just cant imagine a Pep side having an "on-the-beach attitude, or even a drop-off in commitment. As always, the opposition will be up for the "beat-city" cup, meh !!

 

[Blu3m00n91]

We’ll get beat tonight but who cares really

 

[Crooked_rain]

I look forward to every, single game and this is no exception - a tough game though.

Ortega
Lewis Stones Laporte Gomez
Bernardo Phillips Gundo
Phil Alvarez Palmer

I'd like a glimpse of Oscar Bobb if possible too.

I should imagine were gonna see Ederson at some point. Especially if Ortega is gonna stay in goal for the FA Cup

Can't see us wanting our first choice keeper going into a champions league final without game time in 3 weeks

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Feeling a bit meh about the two remaining premier league games.
The key now is to keep our key players match sharp but injury free for the two finals.
Will be interesting to see how Pep achieves this.

 

[Blu1]

Eh?
I've read rhis twice and still dont understand it

I’m hoping pep plays the kids for most of the game but also appreciate its important key players still see some minutes.

I think a point will be a success here but can see a loss which I’m not arsed about

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Looking forward to this. With those on previous page possibly out, makes sense why Galvez was training with the team.

 

[skillman]

Dias and Grealish in my fantasy team. Brilliant!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The “niggles”?

Defence could be fun! Lewis - Stones - Rodri - Gomez ??

 

[skillman]

Do we get a guard of honour here as well? (And Brentford?)

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

I think ederson should play tonight. I think he'll play Carson next week and if he does, it'll mean Ederson, who will play the c.l final won't have played since the semi

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Yeah I think we’ll lose too tbh. It’s going to be hard to match them.

 

[Freak of Nature]

Exact same line-up as Chelsea would do me.

Bring the first team on in the second half.

Another rest for the top players, and then use Brentford to get them back into rhythm together.

No doubt we'll see Ederson in goal before the FA cup but whether he'll play in the cup only Pep knows.

Ortega has made very few mistakes and looks calm and assured. The more I see the more i like and i like the fact we have 2 good keepers to choose from.

Good point.

I’m not really bothered tbh. Dead rubber games to kill the time until the bigguns

Me neither. All that matters is no injuries.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Must be Academy kids in the squad then.

 

[CC1]

Grealish, Ake, Laporte, Dias and Akanji haven’t travelled apparently.

Possible back 4 of Lewis-Walker-Stones-Gomez

Hope Stones doesn’t have to play.

 

[JewelZee]

You think there’s a chance they could lose out on 6th place?

Impossible...

That is the correct answer. I am hoping for Kalvin to show what he is really about and carry on from his encouraging performance on Wednesday. I am sensing a MOTM performance today, so we will only need one midfielder in the summer for Bernardo :(.
