But I'm sure Morgan will start. Schmeichel Simpson Benny Maguire Fuchs Mahrez Iborra Ndidi Albrighton Okazaki Vardy I'm pretty certain Shakey will never select Benny again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benalouane made a cock up against Burton but is still preferable to Morgan in his current form as is Armarty. Marhez also, when having a stinker of a game doesn't get substituted. It's starting to look like Shakespeare has NP disease ie picks his favourites before applying common sense or considering form. A recipe for disaster.

weller54 Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 If we have the same midfield as against Arsenal then we'll struggle... 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester City struggled to break them down until late on. Can you honestly see them coming to us and attacking? No. So there evidence pointing to that fact.

I think Shakespeare played safely and didn't send a new team member and a defender who's been mostly on the bench against a team like Arsenal. If Huth was fit, he'd have played instead of Wes. Amartey is apparently not rated as CB, as I can remember he never played at that position for us, did he? I think Shakespeare will start Gray over Mahrez against Brighton. It's a game we can control and Mahrez needs a slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's still only going to be able to pass the ball to players like Wes, Simpson, Okazaki, Albrighton, Vardy. And he'll still be playing in a team that's more interested in a break away than giving the person with the ball an easy pass to keep possession. Until we alter how we play and get more ball players into the team, it's always going to be a struggle for the CM's to get any sort of control of the match. DD, N'didi and James are good enough with the ball. They are just constantly out numbered and have few options, I think people will be disappointed if they are expecting one CM to change that.

Yep, I think you are exactly right and I think had he not been injured we may have gotten a result (at least a draw). Now you could blame Shakespeare for this and he may have been slightly at fault but having Drinky AND Iborra out could definitely be termed "bad luck" and I think had James not been in his first match back we might have gone to three in the middle instead of a straight swap for Amartey. And I genuinely think Shakepseare will learn from these things. The plus point is that we went to one of the hardest games we will face all season and looked threatening. I think we will be OK. Always the optimist. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffolk fox Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 I cant believe the amount of posters on this forum who believe we are going to lose at Home to Brighton. No disrespect to Brighton, if we cant beat them at home then we are in serious trouble this season. Having watched them at home to Man City it is quite obvious they are going to park the bus against us like they did them. They hardly crossed the halfway line and when they did they played a lot of long ball. I believe, apart from Knockeart, who is only just returning from injury they have no one in attack who can hurt us, don't mention an ageing Glenn Murray. Vardy will rip Lewis Dunk a good un a comfortable 2 0 home win for me Vardy with both. He looked on fire against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 This thread...doom merchants. If we play how we can I have no worries we won't beat Brighton. It's going to be the away games again that fook us over, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdywd Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 Hughton is disgustingly negative, it ain't gonna be a classic. We all know Knockaert is gonna score too We've got Iheanacho and Big Slim as penalty box strikers though, we should be able to break them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
