LionOfGosforth Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Those calling for Burn to be benched, I seriously doubt it will happen, Targett, despite the start at Everton, has barely any football in his legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I think they are a better team than us overall if you don’t count Isak/Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 In the last month, Brighton have looked amazing at times and they've also got well beaten by Forest and battered by Everton. We know what they're capable of but none of us have any idea which Brighton will turn up on Thursday. Let's think positive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I'd rather they gave us a pre-match wake up call than us going into it thinking it'll be anything other than a challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if ‘better’ or just a more pleasing style. I certainly prefer the passing football they play, and they make it look really good at times. At the moment I make them favourites for this.

Matt1892 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I posted this is a different thread a few days ago but it’s an interesting watch, it shows how Brightons tactic is to sit back and pass it around to encourage the opposition to close them down so they can find space to attack. Everton didn’t press and instead waited for Brighton to come out and then broke with pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both sides are at their best we are better imo. Better goalkeeper and defenders, and much, much better strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I've never thought we'd beat them - had it down for a draw months back doing the predictions. Our qualifying for the CL may well rest on beating these and people got chewed out for being unsure whether we'd make it!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 They don’t really have any weaknesses in their side, just going to have to play our best and intimidate them. Midweek kick off helps us as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Watching them today this is a nasty matchup for us, a team that likes to press high against a side who thrives on playing through that.

The fact Everton and Forest have beaten Brighton recently gives me some hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd he tempted to go 4231 with Isak as a 10, Murphy right, Gordon left. Gordon purely for work rate. Anderson might even be a shout. Just can't see us going with either Miggy or Murphy on the left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the season, i've wanted us to play the way that has got us where we are, to not overreact to losing (like after Villa). This game is a one-off, we can't play exactly the same way. Brighton already murdered us once this season and we have Pope to thank for the 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't see us going with either Miggy or Murphy on the left Gordon’s work rate has been non existent tbh, no way he starts imo. Can’t see Maxi simply because our fullbacks need as much protection as possible and he won’t provide it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
