Post by: Nev on November 11, 2022, 08:28:48 AM: It would be nice to finish the first half of the season on a high after the dreck we've had to endure. I like the new manager but never like weakened sides and if Martinez doesn't want to play because of the WC, he'd be one of the first I would ship out in the window, get a keeper who wants top play for us all the time, not when it suits him.

Play a full strength line up and we can go for it, they are on a roll but we can trip them up.

2-3

Post by: Abbeyfealeavfc on November 11, 2022, 09:53:00 AM: I saw enough last night to think we can give this a real go Sunday. Obviously we are going to have to make 6 or 7 changes from last night's starting line-up and maintain our attacking intent.
A draw to maintain Emery's unbeaten pl start would be fine by me against a tough opponent, but who knows we may even sneak the win with a bit of good fortune. UTV!

Keep inside the white lines of the space, try to leave a roughly even clearance either side of the car to the adjacent vehicles, and make sure the parking restrictions work for you in terms of how long you will be there.

I tend to use RingGo to pay for parking, but it's worth taking a handful of change with you in case you park somewhere which is coins only.

Good luck!

The team Emery picked last Sunday were excellent though and i would have this team out again, so

Martinez
Cash
Konsa
Mings
Digne

Dougie
Dendonker (two games in 3 days probs too much for Kamara)

Ramsey
Beundia

Bailey
Watkins

Would be happy with a draw, but fancy a surprise win to finish before the WC on a high.
1-3 (Watkins, Bailey, Ramsey)

It's on the OS. Basically it's a very important game for us and we need the three points, but also stuff about how important the World Cup is for players.

Post by: RamboandBruno on November 12, 2022, 11:04:59 AM: Id defend Emery for trying players out against Man U in the cup as he’s so new to the club, but seeing that horror show on the back of presumably a video of Newcastle away, and then playing him again would be insane.
Maybe he’s alluding to Cash? I can understand any player being nervous about injury days before the WC, but Martinez would of seen that Man U game and know if he’s playing a face about playing, he’s leaving us open to a probable defeat. Olsen is that bad we will lose if he’s playing its as simple as that.

Emery said: Yes I think (our World Cup players) are going to be available on Sunday to play. We need them and we are happy because the players playing in the World Cup is amazing for them and you have to respect the national team and the individual performance of them but, Sunday, we are playing a very important match and those three points, for us, are important to get behind us.

From a selfish point of view I am glad so many of our underperforming players missed out on the World Cup squads, as Emery will be able to have a full months boot camp with them.
Title: Re: Brighton and Hove Albion vs Aston Villa Pre-Match
Post by: SoccerHQ on November 13, 2022, 12:06:56 AM: Brighton normally feels like a 1-1 type of game. Last season we bucked the trend and played well in both and got two comfortable 2-0 wins.

They've got some good players right across the park, Trossard's been in brilliant form for them and really should be starting for Belgium at the world cup. He's everything hopefully Buendia will eventually be for us.

As said above start the team v Man. United (in league) and see what happens atlhough given it's away I think Kamara will start again althoug he flagged badly after 60 minutes on Thursday which wasn't a big surprise, still amazed we took Ramsey off instead.

We’ve got to be a lot more compact and harder to break down for starters. On form, we’ve got the quality to cause problems when opportunities arise, but have been far too open in away games.
