TRon Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 No Sissoko tomorrow. Unsurprising. I don't expect he'll play until after the window closes. Sounds like there's some interest in him now so a move is probably imminent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Excited for this one. We don't look anywhere near the finished article but probably have individuals good enough so we can win games without actually playing too well, if that makes sense. Brighton are notoriously hard to beat but with their defensive injuries more or less mirroring our striking problems, it should be a very close game. Score draw is my prediction, but would absolutely love a win so we have confidence going into the international break. 3 defeats in 5 would be pretty uninspiring stuff, especially with the run of games in September. Expect us to go; Sels; Anita, Mbemba, Lascelles, Dummett; Hayden, Shelvey, Ritchie, Diame, Gouffran; Ayoze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 No Sissoko tomorrow. Unsurprising. I don't expect he'll play until after the window closes. Sounds like there's some interest in him now so a move is probably imminent. I guess they just want to protect the asset, he's no good to anyone including us if he gets injured.

xLiaaamx Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm guessing they don't want to throw someone who's been out for nigh on a year straight back in if they don't have to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Would be thrilled with anything better than a 4-0 defeat tbh. Knockeart hattrick, Hughton to get the 4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 By complete coincidence, I'm away in Brighton for the weekend. If only it was at the Amex... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Just remember we are at home and with our support that is worth a goal. But if the crowd get restless after 20 mins we lose that advantage. Believe the team can win this, and support them like you believe and we will come out with 3 points. Even if Colback starts.

Stifler Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 If we get the first goal I can see us grinding the result out. It will be a difficult game, possibly our most difficult at home, but we have enough to win even without Mitro and Gayle, we just need to be at the top our game. It will be interesting to see if Yedlin will start as I know how Rafa doesn't like playing players who haven't had time to prepare. I'd like to see Jesus in there instead of Dummett, his midweek performance should put him in contention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 With our limited available options I'd be fairly happy with any lineup that doesn't have Colback in it within reason.

Not going to win with gouffran up front on his own it just wouldn't happen.
