STM Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Anything but a loss keeps us ticking over nicely. ASM and Manquillo should come in for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Next weekend brings up another set of games where a win could see us put more distance between us and that pack. Leeds at Leicester, Burnley home to Chelsea, Watford home to Arsenal, Everton away at Spurs. Would be nice if Brentford didn't get a win an Norwich either.

Brighton are a step up from Brentford, they have given the top sides a hard time even if their recent form has dropped off. A win is there for sure, but a draw wouldn't be the worst result in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was March 5th when Robert scored that free kick against Liverpool, the one featured in goal. 6th. Calling it my birthday though Yes remember that Robert goal well. Also have a good birthday.

Lush Vlad Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Going to this one. Been ages since I’ve got to a home game. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster. They’re still a good team. But even if it isn’t the case. It feels like they always drop off a bit when it seems like they’re guaranteed safety. Hopefully Webster is still out. As I don’t think he played today.

gazza ladra Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Home win. Their form is quite poor. Haven't scored in three matches. Two wins this year, Everton and Watford. Confident about this one. Edited February 27, 2022 by gazza ladra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 We shouldn't underestimate this lot. Their form seems bad but really it's just a lot of fine margins where wins have ended up draws. I'd like Saint-Maximin back just to give us more balance out wide. Howe said something yesterday - if you can't win, don't lose - and I think that's how we should be approaching this.

gazza ladra Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) We shouldn't overestimate them either. They won 4 of their first 5 games. They have won 3 games since September. Edited February 27, 2022 by gazza ladra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Supposedly they where awful yesterday, hopefully we have a real go at them. I fancy us to win this one. 2-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 No better time to be playing them, they've got 4 points from 5 games and haven't scored in the last 3. At home and with the way we are playing and the confidence the team has, I'm midly confident of a win. 1-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The confidence I have comes from having a functioning central midfield for the first time I can remember in 2+ years. They'll press well and pass it around a bit, but lack a cutting edge up front. Win the battle in CM and we'll be fine. I trust Targett to keep Lamptey quiet.

Dancing Brave Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The unbeaten run to continue. 1-1 and happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) It wouldn't be a disaster, and it would keep the unbeaten run going to 8, but while we probably will win one of our remaining matches where we are a significant outsider, I'd consider this to be among 3 of our more favourable 13 games, along with Palace (H) and Norwich (A), so I definitely wouldn't 'take a point' if offered in a hypothetical situation. It would be a massive boost if we got notch up another win ahead of 3 tricky looking away matches (plus the prospect of the Palace match being rearranged).

robbo_11 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 On current form a game we should be looking at for three points, horrendous few years when playing Brighton in the Premier League so could see a 1-1 outcome. Hopefully an opportunity to bring Bruno, Manquillo and ASM in ahead of a busy fixture list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Close game, Brighton play nice football and add to that they’ve been a bit of a bogey team (although that was the Bruce era). Hopefully can get a win though as there’s some tough shit coming up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Pretty sure we haven’t scored against them at SJP in the PL. Drfinitely a tough game, but very winnable. Hopefully SJP is bang up for it and it gets us flying out the blocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
