How is Grealish on the left and Mahrez on the right, "two wingers on the wrong side"?

Come on mate it's quite simple. Mahrez left footed on the right, and Grealish right footed on the left. Not a problem if you have overlapping wingbacks who will get to the byline but we wont today. Meaning we are very one dimensional in our attacking play. We probably will be good enough - because we're fucking brilliant - but it's a bit of a worry

Watched Brighton play Liverpool they were excellent that team turns up today it’s going to be a very tough game! Notice Brighton over committed when attacking and seen to always have 3/4 players in the pen box..

This is no easy game and I must admit whenever I`ve seen Brighton I do like their style of play.Not a team to sit back thankfully.

Just looking at Brighton's past results and was pretty surprised to see in their 2-0 loss to Brentford they had 73% possession and 21 shots to Brentford's 7. The boys will need to be ready for a tough match. 2-1 or 3-1 City.

Yep. We can't take them lightly. To do so would be a mistake. They drew at Anfield, and won at OT. Okay, that was early in the season when utd were shite. But it's still no mean feat to go there and win. We should respect them, but not fear them.

Glad to see Grealish back in but Mahrez as well - meh. I do hope he plays great but he really needs to up his work rate against a very fit Brighton team. Erling to grab a brace from 2 Kev assists would do nicely. Got more than enough to win this which would make my day especially with Liverpool losing.

Dippers just lost to Forest who were rock bottom 20th place this morning. Fuck, it's a strange old game for sure. Very nice result all the same.

Not sure brighton at 3pm is a big enough game for Mahrez to turn up.

Also I think 2/3 games where Haaland hasn’t scored are games whe Mahrez has started.

I think Pep is trying to make the league interesting......its the only explanation.

Think Alvarez deserved a chance over mahrez personally

The Grealish/Mahrez wide partnership has been abysmal. I can’t believe it’s back today. Puts a hell of a lot of pressure on those in the middle of the park to create.
