RuffRob Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 I think he has to bring Coady back in - if he was dropped for form, then Keane has to now been dropped. Coady - Tarks will have a decent understanding having played half the season together. Coady will have a point to prove - Keane is struggling. I am hoping it a really tough match for Brighton tonight against Man U, I am sure they will be rolling there sleeves up after being knocked out of the cup by United a week and a half ago.

Palfy Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Brighton beat United 1-0 with a 99th minute penalty, that result reinforces my confidence and belief that if we show the same intensity and fight as we did at Leicester a 0-0 draw is definitely on the cards, and very welcome point. Then we go on to beat Wolves and Bournemouth with another draw in between against City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can, but they're just so smart and clever with the ball. And very quick when they're in behind.

I think between those 3 games, realistically we have a shot at 3 points. Looking at the remaining fixtures, I think we get 4 points. Not sure that's gonna be enough...

Romey 1878 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 If Coady comes in then I'll feel no less worried about what they could do to our defence. It'll be amazing watching a defender that doesn't do any defending. Doesn't challenge for headers, doesn't make tackles, stands off and lets players just bring the ball down and turn.

Going to need a top performance and most probably that slice of luck to get anything out of this game. I do feel we have got ourselves in the position we actually do need something.

Romey 1878 Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 Quote Following their 4-1 win at Goodison Park in January, Brighton are looking to complete their first league double over Everton. The Toffees won this fixture 2-0 last season but have never won consecutive league games at Brighton before. Everton are winless in their past 18 Premier League away games against sides in the top half of the table (D7 L11) - though their last such victory was at fourth-placed Brighton in August 2021 (2-0).

But if both Leeds and Forest win, we need a win, too. We do but I am trying to combine realism with sensible wishful thinking. Of course, if we can nick a 0-1 win at BHA I will be delighted but I think a draw is really all we can wish for and that, realistically, it could be enough to get us out of the bottom three - almost certainly enough to move us up one place. Then, anything against Man C would be a bonus and 4 points from the last 2 games should be enough - just! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Here's hoping for strong 38 minutes from Mina before he limps off. Fair play to Dyche, Keane has been a calamity in defence. Positive action. You just hope that Mina is up for it and not too out of form (in the early dyche era vids when they were doing the bleep test he looked comically unfit).

Bailey Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I watched their previous match and thought a couple of things. Webster can be attacked. He struggles with direct, attacking players getting him 1v1. Due to the way they play, we can get at him. Caicedo playing RB is also a weakness. I also found Estupinian a little clumsy. Welbeck is also out of place in this team. He gave away posession, putting his teammates under pressure and allowed United to counter in transition. The way De Zerbi has Brighton playing is great though. Dunk is fantastic. Watch how he controls the ball and dictates the play. They often bypass a line, who then drop it back into midfield. If they cant play through our midfield, the centre backs will go wider, full backs higher up and they will stretch the pitch as wide as it gets. They are such a good side and they can beat teams in a variety of ways. They are a poor mans Man City and that is a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably sees a player who is very laid back and full of silly dances etc who is free to leave in the summer and wants fully committed players. But when Keane has played as bad as he has he has no option but to give him a go. badaids and Gwlad all over 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
