Hate to say it but I think this is to protect Bart. His development won't be helped by picking the ball out of his net 5 or 6 times tonight.

But football has a tendency to produce surprises and Barco's presence is a wild card. Could be fun.

If he was that fragile, then being a professional GK is the wrong job for him.

All keepers must surely take a hammering at times in their careers, no?

Er, yes. But if we lose in a manner which suggests it was a poor selection then he has every right to be criticised.

To a degree, yes (he is not immune from criticism obviously), but there's every chance we'll lose no matter what team we put out because it's a fact that City just win most games (particularly at this stage of the season).
How do we know there was a better team/formation to put out that isn't a 'poor selection'.
Maybe the selection individual fans want would end up with a worse result? We'll never know.
All I'm saying is that when faced with the financially doped juggernaut that is Man City, we probably shouldn't blame anyone too much if/when we lose.

This is true but a year ago they would have been more nervous about playing us than they are now. We are currently a soft touch..for whatever reason, injuries are only a part of it imo.

Can’t even watch via Fubo as I’ll be flying from St John’s to Ottawa. Hoping for a good result, but not expecting one.

Joke. Barts been our best player recently. Made some exceptional saves and has improved his decision making and distribution. RDZ given up? Feels v flat here tonight. Think the negative pressers really rub off on us.

He’s taking the piss he just said pre match we are still fighting for a European place.

Not my favourite line up by a long shot but maybe selected with half an eye on safeguarding a few key players against more injuries ( from fatigue) when we still have teams we could beat 🤷🏻‍♂️

Roberto seems more relaxed - talking about next season with Ferguson and Mitoma in a recent interview- I still feel he will give Brighton another season regardless of swoopers. Can’t believe he’s still talking about trying for Europe - cheeky so and so !

Play well lads - that’s all we can ask 👍
