S-Clarke Posted 10 March, 2021 Share Posted 10 March, 2021 Two very similar sides in my eyes. Play the same way, good between the lines, struggle to score goals. I can see Brighton having a lot of the ball, but I also see us having lots of ball wins on the counter press as they do play around with it at the back. I wonder if Lallana will 'wimp' out of this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 10 March, 2021 Share Posted 10 March, 2021 I've watched all of their last 4 games 0-0 v Villa 0-1 defeat at West Brom 1-2 defeat to Palace 1-2 defeat to Leicester They really should have won all four of those games, such a strange side. Not sure if that means Brighton are due a bit of luck and a win or if they're just destined to keep clutching defeat from the jaws of victory. Looking back we were lucky to win at their place earlier in the season. They did well in the their win away at Anfield holding on to a 1-0 , but that doesn't look so impressive now. Lallana will be fit this time as he doesn't have to worry about taking stick from the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 10 March, 2021 Share Posted 10 March, 2021 1 win in the last 11, 2 wins in our last 16 Brighton have looked good and dominated games when I've seen them, but like us struggle to score goals and have no wins in last six.

Teddeer Posted 11 March, 2021 Share Posted 11 March, 2021 This will be a tough game. Brighton have been playing some very good football but let down by their finishing. They will create chances so we will need to be on it from the first whistle. I'm expecting us to win but it will be by no means a walk in the park.

It's a bit bizarre to be honest that some think RH took a gamble. Even with the strongest 11 we could put out it would have needed a minor miracle to have got anything from City.

UpweySaint Posted 11 March, 2021 Share Posted 11 March, 2021 Not much between the sides and there fans must be scratching their heads with the position they are in. They play some really good stuff at times, very fluid and possession heavy. I think we may just edge it, 2-1. I expect them to be having a few nerves with Fulham catching them up. It’s been nodded to by others on here and Sheldon on the Athletic said it but I tend to agree Ralph’s decision to rest KWP, Diallo etc against city will only look sensible if we get a result. I’d settle for a point here but 3 and even the twitchiest fan has to feel we’re safe! It would be great to see the pressure of and start building for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintTex Posted 11 March, 2021 Share Posted 11 March, 2021 Brighton on Sunday is a pretty big 6 pointer. A win gets us to 36 points and would put us 10 points clear of the relegation zone with 9 matches left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted 11 March, 2021 Share Posted 11 March, 2021 I’ve watched a few of their recent games as well and how they’ve not managed to win most of them is hilarious. Especially the Palace game, they absolutely dominated and still managed to lose. Like us, they play some nice stuff but are mentally fragile and struggle to put the ball in the net. Can’t call this one at all, one of these days they’ll actually bury their chances and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s against us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get this at all and there will be critics of Ralphs selection on here no matter what. Even if we had fielded our best side against City we would have highly likely lost anyways. Plus it would have been stupid to throw KWP, Diallo and Minamino in for the 75-90 minutes given their recent injury woes. It was a no brainer for Ralph resting them and a few others. The only one I questioned was Forster being rested, but then again hes spared his confidence taking a beating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toussaint Posted 12 March, 2021 Share Posted 12 March, 2021 I’ve modelled this game through my computer programme. There are three possible outcomes. We score more goals than them, we win. Brighton score more goals than us, they win. Here’s where it gets interesting, we both score the same amount of goals, or both fail to score, it’s a draw. This formula cannot fail, get on to Betfair right now and throw everything you have at the three possible outcomes.

Agree though, it won't be an easy game. It won't be easy. As we get closer and closer to the end of the season, teams are going to become more and more desperate. I think this will become a very important factor in what has already been a very erratic season form and injury wise. We've got a strong first 11 and our weakness has always been dominating during games and not scoring. Brighton seem to struggle for goals a degree. I'd like to think that means we at least get a draw from this and would be hopeful of a win. But I can also see us dominate, fail to score, and give Brighton plenty of free chances from which to score. Maupay is always a threat as well. Ultimately its very unlike we'll go down. But win this and we can start to enjoy the rest of the season and it will set us up well for the cup game and hopefully Wembley!

It was never truly reciprocated from our fans, although some of theirs still don't like us. As you say Brighton is a decent place, has loads going on and is far more culturally relevant than Southampton will ever be.
