Well it's a fast turnaround for this one.  After a hard fought, but somewhat disappointing point at Old Trafford, we head to the south coast for an arguably more difficult looking game on paper.

Brighton have been a bogey side since they arrived in the division, as well as being the envy of many fans for their progressive owner and stellar recruitment model.

Teamwise, Nuno gets to 'bring' Paqueta back (I won't use the term 'welcome'), and the messaging around Summerville remains opaque at best.  Plus as to what happened to Guilherme who knows, but with both him and Igor missing we went from a squad of 3 Braziliians to none versus Man Utd in one fell swoop.

This leaves at least a decision around Soucek, but if Summerville (or Guilherme) were to be available, another decision around 2 of 3 from Fernandes, Magassa, and Potts.

Predicted Lineup

I'm working on the basis that Paqueta will come back in, and Summerville will at best be fit for the bench:

Areola

Wan Bissaka  Mavropanos  Todibo  Diouf

Magassa  Potts

Bowen   Paqueta   Fernandes

Wilson

Subs:  Hermansen, Kilman, KWP, Irving, Kante, Earthy, Guilherme, Summerville, Marshall

Predicted Score:  Brighton 2 - 1 West Ham

Brighton remain high up in the current form table, scoring twice as many as they concede.  West Ham are midtable over the last 5 games, are at a scoring ratio of roughly 1:1.

Hard to see anything but a defeat here, but we have a punchers chance (all be it, the blows themselves are fairly lightweight and will need to find the Brighton chin with surgical precision to knock them out).

[onsideman]

I think Kilman ducked under that dangerous cross

[zico]

Why is Paqueta marking (loosely) Dunk at corners? Asking for trouble.

[Westham67]

Brightons Antonio

[Come On You Irons]

Fernandes has been by far our best player. Cracking young midfielder.

[threesixty]

so far so good. We've had the better of it really now we need to make it count

I don't know what game you're watching.

We are parking the bus and Brighton have been all over us.

 

 

If we are parking the bus, how come I’ve just seen 2 or 3 attempts on goal from us and us playing the ball around in there area… ffs. 

[fraser]

Was, clearly offside there 

[cholo]

Diouf goes to ground way too quickly at times.

We dont look bad. It’s away at Brighton with a 2nd choice midfield and they are not dominating.

[Takashi Miike]

Sit back, invite Brighton to attack...long punt by our defence, Brighton  regain possession, attack again, long punt in to their half...and repeat
and repeat and repeat. fucking tedious tactics.

 

 

surrender-ball, haven't we had enough of this shit now?

[zico]

I'm sure Soucek moves quicker than Rodriguez.

[Mex Martillo]

We are losing Diuof an Wan Bissaka to AFCON later this month

That’s alright, we can play Walker at RB and Peters at LB.

 

 

Also Ollie at RH and Scarles at LB.

[goose]

There’s definitely something in this for us.
just need to keep it tight at the back.

[Chip Shop Charlie]

and repeat and repeat. fucking tedious tactics.

[Tomshardware]

We can't lose to this mob. 

[Gank]

The overall starting line-up is bad enough but to bring back that Brazilian cսnt is an insult to the players left out.
NES can fuck right off and take Paqueta with him

 

 

Yeah, fancy playing our best players, what a fraud!

[pdcwhu]

Shut up you Cunts

Away support in fine voice. Sounds like we're play at home, but Upton Park, not the bowl.

[Takashi Miike]

as bad as brighton are at the back, they're very good going forward so it's suicidal sitting back against them. as I've said before, sack this cսnt and let the porn dwarf take over as coach, with his moronic mini me cսnt son as the number two


*repetition of cսnt*

[goose]

Solid enough start but sitting back now.

early indications that the ref is a cսnt.

[Sir Alf]

Just seen the line up.  WTF !! 

Whats the thinking? Lose the midfield , we lose the game.   Nuno’s definitely not the messiah
