The KING’s reign-defining noble mags v Brighton’s tiki taka twats - they don’t like it up em!

[Dr Gloom 21915]

This is the game that will squash this treasonous talk against the crown. 
 

The league performances have improved under my watch. We owe someone a hiding and Brighton don’t like playing us at SJP. The stars are aligning.

 

They will continue to play five a side on the edge of their own box and the high-pressing mags will force mistakes, win the ball back and cruise to a convincing win, roared home by a lively SJP.  
 

5-1 to us. Minteh to score first before we romp home with hat tricks a piece from Wilson and Isak

The king:

 

Also I am going for a goalless 4-0 

[RobinRobin 11263]

 

Last minute 1-0 - header by Pope from the halfway line

[Optimistic Nut 145]

4-1 home win. 

 

They're there for the taking if you press them. I'm not convinced by their midfield since they sold Gross and Gilmour. Go with Bruno and Tonali as a two, Barnes left, Gordon just off Isak to do his pressing from there and Miggy on the right.

Well this is some time off but I'm attending so that's a huge bonus. 

Still, nervous time ahead for "the King".

guaranteed 3 points, thanks to the real Dr Gloom. Nice one Renty baby - you might be rewarded in the King's birthday honours list if you play your cards right

No big Joe? I thought he looked much more like himself against Everton (against a passive midfield opponent admittedly). 

 

I like your idea of a 4-2-3-1 with tonali and bruno in the "double pivot" and gordon as "number 10" but i don't see howe changing his preferred system.

Nah I don't see it. No issue with Joelinton starting, just think this sort of opposition is made for Almiron but we need Barnes & Gordon around Isak too just for the goal threat.

Tricky one this- we need a win combined with a good, high energy, convincing performance. 
So for that reason, I’m going to break with tradition and say.…

 

5-0. 
 

4 Minteh o.g.

2 a-piece from Isak.

Can we just establish if the king has, or has not, a soft spot for Brighton by any chance ??

[Gemmill 44853]

He's a vegan and he rides an e-scooter. They're his second team. 

[Dr Gloom 21915]

veggie, not vegan. 

 

i love brighton, they have one of the best veggie restaurants in the country as it happens.

 

i have no love for the football team.

 

but with the KING at the helm and Renton in the stands, expect nothing less than another improved performance and a home win

These can’t defend to save their life so fully expecting Schar to be pinging balls over to Barnes and Gordon every time we get it

It’s a double threat - we have Renton, our lucky charm who never sees us lose when he goes to the match, and the undefeated KING of the match thread. 

 

[Gemmill 44853]

Toontastic's Huntley and Carr. What could go wrong. 

[GrahamTaylor5 880]

Long live the king.
