I suspect we'll often see Trossard and Ali on the flanks with Locadia/Andone in the middle.
Good Lord, I'd hate to come across you when we've lost.
We've just beaten a Champions League Spanish team. We didn't look out of our depth either. We were talking to a couple of Valencia fans on the train home and one of the guys said "Valencia played very Spanish and Brighton played very English". We were direct and, at times, creative without ever getting out of third gear (which is what you'd expect and need from a friendly). Two set piece goals, one of which was a cracker. And let's think about that for a minute.
Last season every time Duffy got a chance from a set piece with his head he put it in Row Z. In pre season he's scored three times with his head from set pieces. Now, I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe he's spent time being coached on attacking headers, practicing them and building up his confidence, rather than spending the whole time on shape. Maybe Potter trusts him to know where a centre back plays and has actually started to address his weaknesses in order to make him a better player. Or, maybe, he's been lucky three times out of three
Could not be more postive going in to the season with a team that look like they're enjoying their football and being coached as individuals as well as being inducted in to a fluid, forwards facing system.
We came back from Wembley with 15 flags. 3 were on our seats which we diligently waved at appropriate times. Making sure not to hinder anyone's view of the occasion or upset the anti- (makes us look tinpot) flag brigade. The other 12 we took after the stand had been pretty much vacated and all the flags were still wrapped up. Moral of the story, if you want a flag, hang around the stand after the game has finished!
I don't have anyone on ignore, but that doesn't mean I don't ignore a fair chunk of posts. If TSB or dwayne post something negative, or if BG post an opinion about football, the choice is either to ignore or to mock.
