[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[SweatyMexican]

2 up top. Gotta put these chances away. We know we’ll get them.

Pleased Welbeck starts but disappointed for Mac to be the one to drop out - think he’s been better than both Gross and Trossard recently.

 

[Frutos]

I'd have dropped Gross or Trossard rather than Mac Allister, but there we go.

Izzy on the bench again is good to see.

 

[swindonseagull]

Why is McAllister on the bench? And Trossard starting ?

 

[moggy]

Lacking of any width.
Everything down the middle then

 

[Bridcutt]

That 11 doesn't even make me excited. Burn, Trossard still starting. Unreal

 

[The Wizard]

Maupay and Welbz

Lallana’s replacement on 60 mins?

 

[GT49er]

Maupay and Trossard still in - MacAllister dropped. Hey ho.

 

[Mancgull]

The one positive from the Leicester game was the Lallana Maupay partnership which Potter seems to have disrupted with this line up. Strange.
No width but Southampton don’t play with much so maybe a ploy to pack the midfield and disrupt them. Not overly confident and the line up doesn’t give me any more. Thought this may have been the game for Moder. Obviously not.

Potter doesn't seem to do replacing clearly knackered players after 60 minutes!

 

[Swansman]

Surprised at people being surprised with the lack of width as there's not a lot to choose from in wide positions really.

And either way Trossard and Gross will probably play wide just like last week despite them not being "natural wingers".

 

[El Turi]

For some bizarre reason we seem to be favourites with Bet365 so it’s worth putting money on Southampton to ease the pain when we lose.

 

[Hendrax]

Argie Mac dropped and trossard starting. Oh joy.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Midday is a little early for me to start drinking.
That is all I have to say

 

[The Wizard]

I don’t understand why drop Mac of all players

Sure he was poor and looked disinterested at times last couple but he’s one of the only players in our line up who actually excites me when he gets the ball, a front three of Trossard, Welbeck and Maupay is about as toothless a strike force as you’ll find anywhere.

Really worried about KWP today. Don't know how we are going to handle him. Saints starting line up looks strong sadly.

Agreed shite line up. Thought Potter was going to change it and give Moder and Karbo a go, even Tau. Predictable- L coming

 

[miffy6]

Odds on Ali J coming on in the 80th minute when we're 1 down?

Well.. they have a strong team and the wings will be scary. With Romeu out the Brighton should have a better chance of winning the midfield though.
