If Joelinton is out I wonder if we just try and match them up and go 4-2-3-1. Play Tonali and Bruno centrally, Barnes left, Murphy right and either Gordon or Willock in the centre behind Isak. Would be one way to get Gordon, Barnes and Murphy in the same XI. Just an idea like

Not a bad shout to be fair.  Not happen like.

They’re a pretty poor side this season and how they’ve beaten us twice I don’t know. Should be aiming for a win but a draw will be an OK result in context. 

 

Time 1: we couldn't finish our breakfast

Time 2: VAR offside noncery

Plus we seem to love giving them the ball back at every opportunity. 

Which gives them confidence to have a go at us. 

[Shearergol]

Money on a Danny Welbeck goal.

[SteV]

Has a player ever had a more unwarranted tag of being a ‘bogeyman’ against us, than Danny Welbeck?

[BennyBlanco]

Probably the biggest banana skin of our remaining games. I’ll be windmilling my little dick around if we can nick 3 points here.

Welbeck is a decent-to-good PL striker at least. In years gone by you could make a YouTube video of "versus Newcastle" where the likes of Jason Roberts, Shane Long, Jon Walters and Morten Gamst Pedersen all looked like Pele and Eusebio's long lost illegitimate son.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Urgh Shane Long.

Goals v us in PL:

 

Shane Long - 4 in 21

Jason Roberts - 5 in 12

Jon Walters - 4 in 11

Morten Gamet Pedersen 3 in 10

 

Welbeck 2 in 15

 

Welbeck is not even Jason Roberts standard of bogeyman

 

*and I know it’s not really a fair comparison, but anyway, Aguero had 15 in 14. That’s a bogeyman.

[Yorkie]

Got a lot of time for Welbeck. For such a classy finisher it's mad how few goals he's got over the years, relative to appearances. This is his best season since 2013/14; fair play to him tbh.

You can add Darwin Nunez to that list.

Yeah, I mean wouldn't even class any of those of as bogeymen. Not with those numbers.

 

Bogeymen for us were Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Andy Cole, Aguero etc.

We have terrible record against them and this welbeck will turn into Pele against us.

It’s probably more accurate to say we have a mixed recent record against them since both sides contested the Championship.

[Ketsbaia]

In six successive matches, Brighton have conceded at least two goals (2, 3, 2, 2, 4, 2).

[Sibierski]

We're overdue correcting of our form against these because Brighton are the type of side I'd expect our style to get wins more often than not.

 

2-1. Proper grind win.

Its going to be a slag of a game. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

They can’t defend so I’m thinking we can get some points.

Hwang from Wolves always seems to score against us.
 

I’ve even had that same thought seeing him on the pitch and then he fucking scores

 

edit: 4 in 7…

But you'd expect those to score against us. We just seem to concede goals to strikers who don't score many (historically that is, not quite as much under Sir Eddie).

[54]

These have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their last 6 Premier League games, including against a Leicester side that hadn't scored in 8 games prior, and haven't scored in the 2 games since. 

[Lush Vlad]

Yeah, conceding 2 at home to both Leicester and West Ham must have Lord Howe excited.  Obviously some weaknesses there to exploit.

Still bitter about our first game against these. Dive-city whenever we pressed and the ref gave them everything. Do them please.

Worth mentioning Bryan Wade. Scored four of his six goals that season for Brighton on his debut against us, barely heard of before or since.
