Brighton Line-up & Predictions

------------------Krul

Raylor---Simmo----Willo---Santon

----------Abeid------Dannyboy

Ben Arfa------Vuckic-----Obertan

-----------------Best

I think we'll either draw 1-1 or <gulp> get beaten 1-0. I'm pessimistic about this one, I don't even know why

 

Hansen was very complimentary as well on MOTD as well... maybe the BBC pundits hate Fulham more than us

 

I'm optimistic, think we can win 0-3. I am worried that Pardew will play long ball tactics because we shouldn't be doing that against teams like Brighton. No disrespect to them.


Krul

Santon--Willo--Perch--Fergie

Ben Arfa--Cabaye--Guthrie--Jonas

Lovenkrands--Best

 

I really can see Pardew starting Shola again, us playing hoofball with effectively 10 men and them nicking a late goal.

I was optimistic against Fulham though, so don't worry, my gut feeling is usually wrong anyway

 

---------------Krul---------------
Santon-----Willo---Colo-----Fergie
Ben Arfa--Cabaye--Abeid---Jonas
-------------Vuckic------------
--------------Best--------------

 

Lovenkrands and Benny should definitely start, as should Raylor in my opinion (perhaps give Simpson a break)
Same formation as we played first half against Fulham with Lover on the left, Best leading the line, Jonas and Benny in their usual positions.
Guthrie and Abeid in midfield, bringing on Dreamboat if we start losing.
