Wouldn’t hate it either. Spence has earned a start and there’s no harm keeping Porro fresh.

Yep. This game is ideally set up for a front 3 of Werner (clocked at 35.69 km/h vs United, 4th fastest in the league this season so far), Solanke (clocked at 36.1 km/h last season) and Johnson (clocked at 36.7, not sure when). If Brighton persist with their high line, without anyone close to that speed, they're asking for trouble.
After his first senior start ever on Thursday night, where he played a full 90, on a heavy track? Unlikely.
He'll get 30 minutes if we need a goal or a 10 minute cameo if we're ahead.
First they came for the communists . . .
Not much use if they put 10 men in the box to counter act their injuries and form.
Yes will be interesting to see how they set up. That would be a big deviation from their intent this season, especially at home. Tough to do well when you haven't done it before.
True, home fans at Brighton wouldn’t expect them to be happy to see their team pack the box esp after the last few seasons
Latin???? Are you LGBTQ+?
Wermo Tina is 100% scoring in this game.
I got him already, which probably means he’ll pull a hamstring in the warm up!
I think that in this game more than any other since Newcastle we need to be super clinical in front of goal. Seems an obvious thing to say but a decent fast start is paramount.
When you consider they went a goal ahead against Chelsea away, and still didn't sit back, I can't see it happening at home vs us.
The main reason Brighton went with the ridiculous high line v Chelsea was the injury to Van Hecke,who has been outstanding, Brighton simply do not have the same cover at CB,so risked a different option.
Not many teams will beat Chelsea at home this season so I guess it was a chance worth taking for Brighton.
Van Hecke is still out injured so I expect a similar approach tomorrow.
Should be a cracking game to watch and can't call a result for this one,Welbeck seems to have been around for about 30 years or more but is probably playing the best football of his life right now.
Brighton have yet again managed to find yet another quality midfielder in Baleba,he looks like a upgrade on Bissouma already which is a bold statement but if you've not seen him play before you will probably see what I mean after tomorrow.
Certainly a good time to be playing Brighton with Pedro,Van Hecke,Andringa missing,but still a very dangerous team especially down the flanks on the counter.

If both teams play a high line and the ball ends up in the centre circle - will the ref have to abandon the game?
Or will it just go to penalties between the keepers?

They are the most dangerous attacking team we’ve played most likely.
I have no fucking time for any that but tbh the encroachment on civil rights via the auspices of keeping us safe from morally objectionable speech or thought is nothing new.
That chant is fucking stupid though so what's the point of fighting the power on this one? Just get a better chant. If they were saying we can't use YID ARMY chants then fight it until the club has no fans left but this one? Just over a shit joke about Arteta taking it up the arse.
It's not even funny, the days when jokes about being gay held any controversy or humour are looooong gone.
