I would also just like to highlight that in all the games we have lost this season I wasn’t selected to play. Ask yourselves, a coincidence or what!!
I've actually thought about it and changed my mind. I seriously think that taking one of Wilson or Isak off in favour of our other wings would not be more effective. The problem is our attacking midfield/wingers aren't very creative. Centrally Bruno is quite creative but also has to play deep so he is strained. Joelinton, longstaff and Willock are all hard workers and good defensively, but don't really score or create much either. The only change I'd make is playing Murphy instead of Almiron. Almiron is a great defensive worker and a goal threat, but he doesn't create much. Isak------------Wilson----------Murphy --Willock------Bruno---Joelinton---- Burn------Botman---Schar-------Trippier --------------------Pope---------------------
See you think you’re good enough because you have an exotic name. But in reality your just an average player like Hayden.
1. Facts don’t lie. 2. Hayden average??? I’m talking top level here and Hayden isn’t average at the top level.
A case of which Brighton will turn up - the one that's looked strong more of the season, or the one than just got mangled by Everton. We must not "do a Leicester" ie whole season in CL places then finish 5th on last day. We can do this.
You could say we have already 'done a Leicester' as we have equalled their highest points tally from the 2 seasons in question. Ultimately we have it in our own hands and we all would have taken that at the start of the season.
It's all about what we achieve now with 3 games to go: 3rd - awesome 4th - still awesome, but doesn't have the bragging rights of finishing above Man U for the first time in the Prem 5th - big disappointment at this stage
100% agree. If I'm offered 4th now I'm taking it. Man U have easy fixtures and will probably win all 3. I have thought all along LiVARpool would win all 3 but I have a sneaky suspicion they might well draw a game.
Us, Manchester United and Liverpool all have the same sort of fixtures. 1 team from the top 8 and 2 from the bottom 6
For me, get a winger in instead of Isak, Wilson on the bench as an option and Isak back in the middle. We’re making the same mistake Pardew did with Demba Ba. And why else did we chuck £45m at Gordon if he can’t start in his position? Almiron has properly reverted to the original version of Miggy, just looks headless, clueless and toothless in attack. Murphy should come back in. Also id get Bruno on set pieces. Trips has been ****e for months. Could really do with Longstaff back. Can’t see it. Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Bruno, Willock, Joelinton, Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
Arsenal are playing ****e tbh though. We need to be on our game, and right now we're not. Bruno is off the pace.
Let's hope that was everything clicking for Brighton in that game and not Thursday, also that Enciso looked injured.
