[Hernandez - BFA]

Huge contest for midfield tonight. Not just the central areas either.

Between Liverpool and Fulham or Man City and West Ham?

We play tomorrow.

I’ll leave it there - it’ll be true…. Eventually!

For the pessimists: you had us Lösung against Villa.

We had us Solution against Villa?

Yeah I have German added to my keypad. Entertaining isn‘t it?

 

[The Corinthian]

Any Brighton fans that can shed any light on where to park for the game? @The Boy? Any tips appreciated!

 

[top1whoisman]

Who's this Losung guy? Can he play striker?

Lös ung means ”loose young” in Swedish. Sounds like an exciting signing.

You can park at the Amex but you need to book in advance on the club website, there's parking available for away fans.

But I would park in Brighton and get the train to Falmer, it's only about 5-10 mins on the train and the station is right next to the stadium pretty much.

Thanks. Yea I had a look at the car parking facilities at the stadium but it’s sold out.

I was reading online that the train from Falmer gets proper full. Are there any ‘park for £10 here!’ type of places near the Amex?

 

[Mike Smalling]

People tend to forget we are a pretty good side as well. Many were prepared to get knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton and lose to Villa, but we showed our quality. With Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno in midfield we will always have a chance. Biggest challenge is that it’s away from home.

Not really as it’s surrounded by the university and farm land!

I normally go by train and though they’re quite full there’s loads of them. A mate of mine uses the Mill Road park and ride which takes you straight there, there’s another one from the race course. You need to get to them probably a couple of hours before kick off to get a space.

Reported. That kind of an attitude and mentality doesn't have a place on this forum.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

Sure, it's away but it won't be that Sevilla/Anfield like intimidating atmosphere that we seem to fold under. Not worried.

2-1 United.

 

[Rightnr]

Brighton are weirdly not very good at home (results-wise). They are where they are in the table because of their away form (they're 4th ahead of us).

Hoping for a good draw or a close win.

 

[top1whoisman]

"I think we [in terms of Garnacho] have one training [session], but I think it's too soon to be available," admitted Ten Hag at his pre-match press conference. "I think he is short [of full fitness]. I think he needs some training and then, in short notice, he will be available."

"The prognosis, I think Rapha is closer than Scott McTominay in this moment," added Ten Hag. "But still they are, for the coming two games [Brighton and West Ham], they are not available."

 

[JustinC00]

Ya was surprised that they've dropped points in almost as many matches (7) as they got all 3 (8) drew with Brentford, lost to Fulham, lost to Villa, drew with Forest, lost to Spurs, drew Newcastle and lost to Arsenal and still have yet to play City

Their home record is a bit like our away record seem to struggle against the top half teams Brentford, Fulham, Villa, Spurs, Newcastle and Arsenal all top 10 teams.

 

[top1whoisman]

Not that it probably matters in such a well-oiled machine, but De Zerbi has cancelled his press conference and missed Brighton's training session due to illness.

Seconded.

 

[tombombadil]

While our team is decent, match fixing and the horrendous hatchet job on our players continue to be a problem. Oil money truly is powerful.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

I think we're winning. Sabitzer instead of Fred, AWB instead of Malacia, we should be able to eke out a win.

 

[Roosney]

Tough away fixture but if our players are up for a fight we should win it.

 

[gajender]

Our away form has been under too much scrutiny and rightly so , but I am quietly confident that we will get all 3 points at Brighton .

 

[The Boy]

VAR has hardly been kind to Brighton this season, we'd be 6 points up if it worked and down two apologies from Howard Webb.

Well referring has been truly appalling in England we all thought VAR might bring in some much needed improvements , but I believe I had too much faith in incompetent fools overseeing VAR .

 

[Telsim]

We are not very good away. I'd snap your hand for a draw. Luckily, Ferguson and Veltman are out for this.

 

[daveskimufc]

Not looking forward to this. Hopefully we start fast, press high and get the midfield controlled. 2-2

 

[Offside]

We need a big away performance. If we lose this that’s City, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Villa, Brighton, Brentford we’ll have lost to away and Spurs, Palace, Chelsea we’ll have failed to beat away. That means the only teams in the top 15 we’ve won away at would be Wolves and Fulham and both were with late goals. That’s absolutely shocking and does not inspire me with confidence going forward under ETH.

We need a result away.

This is ironically the problem.

 

[RedChisel]

This is going to be a tough ask I feel. We'll be fighting against the ref as well as a pumped up Brighton intent on "revenge" the same as the Newcastle match.

I'd take a draw right now if I'm honest.

 

[fergieisold]

It'll be a carbon copy of the Newcastle game at St James'.

 

[Kaos]

It'll be a carbon copy of the Newcastle game at St James'.

We had no Casemiro that game, I'd expect us to be a little more competitive this time.

 

[Utd heap]

I think we'll get the draw that both teams will be happy enough with.

I’ve seen a few posts like this regarding the referee. Once again, Brighton have been the most hard done by team in the Premier League this season by some clear distance, when it comes to refereeing and VAR decisions. This isn’t hyperbole or bias, it’s objective fact demonstrated by the apologies from PGMOL.

I really don’t think the biggest clubs have anything to worry about when it comes to playing smaller clubs. The evidence consistently doesn’t bear this out.
