Brighton Match Thread

[Silva Fox]

Enough of this warm-up coverage. What time is kick off?

[Stadt]

442 with Mendy and Ndidi in the middle was always going to struggle to influence the game. Get Mendy off, Maddison in the middle and Barnes wide. 

[ronnup]

He needs to swallow his pride and change it. Unlikely 

[RowlattsFox]

Done well to keep it goaless, a better side would have taken us apart. Hopefully can come out a different side, just no urgency, direction or plan it seems. It felt like Brighton were playing with more players.

 

Can't be that bad again can we? Thank God for 5 substitutes.

Youri and Barnes on, mendy and gray off. 

Gray is one of the only ones putting a shift in

Is it better on Main Event with crowd noise? 

It's better if you switch off your tv completely.

They will tire 2nd half, but will we and if not can we take advantage?

Feel for the lads who have been brought into the side, not set up right and it's obviously gonna be one of them who has to come off. 

 

Sort us out Brendan

Mendy will be sacrificed. Neen our vest midfielder. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Praet or Tielemans to come on for Wilf or Mendy second half surely?

Also we are badly missing Ricardo, obviously. 

How long is he expected to be out for?

What formation did we play when we beat West Ham? Wasn’t that two defensive midfielders? 

[Dahnsouff]

Mendy off, Praet on

Youri on the treadmill

I don’t think the formation is the problem. 4-2-3-1 hasn’t delivered the goods for a while either.

 

The problem is we aren’t pressing high enough up the pitch, plus the Mendy/Ndidi combination, which I have to say I find bizarre.

 

Also we are badly missing Ricardo, obviously. 

But where is Maddison supposed to be playing? Or Gray? Or Iheanacho? And Ndidi and Mendy Are getting in each other’s way.
 

Got to change back to 4-2-3-1 second half so the players know where everyone is.

Gordon Bennet! 😁

Now what you saying?

Absolute shambles!

[Tielemans63]

Brighton have been absolutely incredible. What a privilege it is to be able to see them play. 

 

One day I'll tell my grandkids about the day I got to watch the fabled Maupay/ Connolly partnership.

[Corky]

Is it not beyond the wit of man to stop the clock for drinks breaks? We do we need to add three minutes when the whole thing has been agreed beforehand?

Could come back to bite me (hope it does if he stays on) but tends to drift away in games second half, where as hopefully nacho will grow in to it more, agree he's been one of the few bright lights of that half.

[Detroit Blues]

Well, Kasper has been solid since the restart...

Gray is one of our better players

[st albans fox]

Project restart is going to ruin my life ! 
 

I was pretty relaxed away from work and now I’m going to be in a perpetual bad mood for six weeks !

I’m watching it in UHD.

 

I kinda wish I was watching on an early 80s colour TV, so I could see **** all. 

[PhillippaT]

This pre-season competition is even worse than the one we had after we won the PL

[hejammy]

Praet has to come on. He was one of our best players pre COVID.

I'd get Praet, Albrighton and Fuchs on, go 352. 

 

Barnes for Kelichi later.

Good shout.
