We really need another CB if so There is a mystery to Benk, that's for sure. But then you look at Benny in 2016-2017: Captaining the U23's in the autumn, playing Champions League QF in the spring. I hope the guy gets over whatever the issues is: Injury niggle? Fitness? Mainly because he looks to be about 9 feet tall, and would love to have him in the box on corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are likely to start Murray or Maupay upfront (they have a few injuries themselves apparently) he is more than capable of doing a job for us.

OntarioFox Posted 19 November 2019 Share Posted 19 November 2019 Morgan is fine as a stand-in. We had this discussion last season, then he was suddenly the dog's doo-dahs when he got drafted in and scored in back-to-back games. I have absolutely no worries that he can still do the business, though we all accept that Caglar and Jonny are our first choice pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, This is exactly the dilemma, Youth over experience. Maybe the answer is to give them both a half each. There's one other option which we've used before. That's play Fuchs in the center along side Cage. That would give us experience in their. I'm not dismissing them but at least it's Brighton and not one of the big boys.

foxfanazer Posted 19 November 2019 Share Posted 19 November 2019 Potter seems to have them playing a decent brand of football. I thought them sacking Hughton was extremely harsh but it seems to have worked out OK for them. Got to be going there to get the win but don't envisage it being an easy afternoon. 2-1 City Vardy and Perez for us, Maupay for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Rodgers or a player making claims that we are going to win 5-0 then you may have a point.

Leeds Fox Posted 19 November 2019 Share Posted 19 November 2019 (edited) Is Morgan really that bad? I’ve seen nothing to suggest he is. If we’re judging him on cameos this season. Remember, it isn’t easy coming on as a substitute and settling into the game as a defender. Especially when the opposition is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you. He’ll be fine if called upon. Edited 19 November 2019 by Leeds Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 19 November 2019 Share Posted 19 November 2019 Wes is obviously one of the league-winning legends but he's hardly comfortable with ball at his feet. If we do play him from the start we‘ll have to bear his limited ball playing skills into account with our tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've played extremely excitingly and well on a number of occasions this year. Although Dunk and probably Trossard out is certainly a bonus for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the arrogance of assuming it'll be a breeze and a walk in the park for us if we were playing their full strength side without giving them the respect they deserve. But with potentially 3 of their players out, if you include Connelly, if we don't take advantage of that situation and expect to win it, then Brendan needs to move on to another job. As he's said himself, he wants to turn boys into men and halftime at Southampton was 0-0 just so we didn't take the foot off the gas. Just saying that we have a chance to take advantage of a weakened side and it'd be rude not to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no worries if Morgan has to fill in. Captain, Leader and a damn good defender. Absolutely, I find it quite bizarre. He's naturally fit, not the fastest but how many centre halves are? He's strong and reads the game incredibly well. There would be a number of Premiership teams that wouldn't hesitate to play him including Brighton to replace the absent Dunk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 19 November 2019 Share Posted 19 November 2019 They may not have Dunk but they have Duffy, Who I wouldn't mind us having. He's comfortable on the ground and unbeatable in the air. He'd probably cost too much now as he's one of there star players. No match is guaranteed at this level. While I expect us to win, it has to be approached in the wright manner.
