Ah fuck. Oh well come on Villa.

[Toronto Villa]

Better give Emi a few more days so he’s ready for Thursday. Good to see Pau back and Moreno on the bench.

[Axl Rose]

Fucking hell. Olsen.

Anyway, up the fucking Villa

[PaulTheVillan]

Welbeck worries me. Bailey Diaby & Rogers. We’re going for it.

[Somniloquism]

No Lallana for them, I fancy our chances again....

[clash city rocker]

Get your prayer mats out

If they shoot with any kind of power and accuracy they have a decent chance of scoring, we have to close them down with aggression.
Otherwise very attacking line up again. We were a bit wide open on Thursday with pretty much the same line up. Hopefully get a couple of early goals

God sakes olsen again. That means no clean sheet.

No idea why gauci can't get a start.

Brightons tactics (like most clubs when olsen is in goal) apply pressure on keeper and we win

Shame no youri but good to see moreno back

[Toronto Villa]

Olsen, while he didn’t cover himself in glory wasn’t the reason we lost the other night. He did ok, could have done better on a couple of the goals. He did all the basic stuff well enough. And with Pau back it makes us better overall. We’ll be fine. Just need to keep the ball well and not allow Brighton to dominate possession. Get in front and a side close to the beach will be on the beach.

To be fair pinning clean sheets on Olsen is a bit unfair. Emi rarely keeps them as well.

He wasn't the only one at fault, but with Emi in goal we'd have got at least a draw - He saves two of those goals that Olsen let in, potentially the penalty too.
Still winnable today - We just need to adopt the Keegan mentality to football.... Score more goals than them!
