SiLvOR Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 As usual, starting the week flip flopping in confidence and right now I'm supremely confident. Here's why: it'll piss Eddie off that this fraud in the dugout at Brighton has done him twice, through sheer luck and VAR incompetence. Eddie knows he's the better manager, hell, everyone does. And he'll prove it. 3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 12 hours ago, Pilko said:  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.

et tu brute Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Need to start strong (certainly not like Villa) and try and control the game. Pedro missing is certainly a plus, as he is a very decent player, and is the player who always seems to be the key when Brighton are playing well.  They're not in the greatest form, but, they're a decent team and we need to be on it from the off. We have struggled against the teams in the upper mid table positions this season, and it's vital we don't allow another one to put our champions league advantage at risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Brighton are an odd side at the moment as shown v West Ham. Concede goals very easily but have the players to bang a few in pretty quickly. I watched them a few weeks ago v Leicester though and they were awful and for much of the West Ham game they were pretty poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 No idea what to make of this lot. Have a nagging feeling that stylistically this is a bad match up for us and a point would be a decent result. Whether that is sufficient remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think recent shit results against them is swaying my confidence and then I see they go life and death with a poor West Ham team . I will still settle for a point but all three would be a massive boost and would take a bit of pressure off the Chelsea game.  Welbeck has been a nuisance against us as well but good that Pedro is not available.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Aye was just about to say. Very generous ratings. They've been mostly underwhelming when I've watched them to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 They've spent about ÂŁ250m this year and been caught up by the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford & Fulham. I know it's a tough position to be in but they're very underwhelming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) It’s a challenging game but Brighton just concede so many goals. Big prize of a more relaxed CL run-in as well. Edited April 29 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a big difference to our team, and if he's out we will need to have a think whether to set up differently to get the best out of the team we put out.
