[Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[neilbard]

Potter is going all out for the 3 points, at last some positive team selections.

Very interesting that. Lamptey and Burn will be our main guys out wide, we have 4 midfielders who are generally used to playing centrally.

4-2-2-2?

 

[sparkie]

Same 20 as against Arsenal, just shuffled the pack a bit.

Steele, Bernardo, Kayal, Alzate and Jahanbakhsh miss out.

4-3-1-2 perhaps

Well bugger me senseless! That’s an exciting lineup.

I’ve no real expectations for tonight. Very happy to just sit back and enjoy this ride.

All of a sudden that looks like an excellent team.



The difference 3 points makes!!!

Lamptey and Mac Allister in, 2 up front / very exciting!

 

[Mellotron]

PACE. Like it. Could be an exciting game.

I’ll say it - I like Graham Potter.

Liking the look of that team. 5 of the starting 11 aged 23 or under. Only one player over 30. Average age of 25 must be one of the youngest starting 11's since the Wilkins teams.

The year we got promoted we had the oldest average starting 11 in the league.

Nice to see that Bloom, Ashworth and Potter are recalibrating this to provide a better pipeline of future players, which should also be more profitable for us.

Has anyone seen much of Lampety. All seem excited, but he'll have a big job to do today.

and to think we're just one substitution away from fielding the oldest Premier League side.







...hello, hello, can you hear me at the back, is this mic working?

I think I always worry when people are so happy with the team selection. Makes me fear an absolute tonking for us. It's probably based on that happening once a long time ago.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Oooo .. I knew I should have waited for the team sheet before predicting the score, is it too late to change my 1-1 bore draw to a 4 - 2 thriller (win)

 

[Mancgull]

Assume Bernardo must be injured.

Even though I fully aware of Leicester's one trick ponyness.
We all sat there and watched it a few months ago.

I was still amazed by the amount of times v Watford, their entire game plan was 'over the top to Steptoe'.

He's in for a shock when Lampety isn't even in top gear.

Ꝕlease, Ꝕöţŧēř.

Lampard rates him. Said some nice words when he left if I remember rightly. Had a solid appearance in the second half against Arsenal before joining us.

Saving him and Ali J to rip Man U a new one

I always get the same vibe. Much prefer going into games on a downbeat. Exciting team= poor performance. Hoping I’m wrong of course!
