Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted March 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 5, 2021 We've got a really good record against Brighton since coming up - they've not beaten us since actually. I just don't quite know how I feel about this. I've put a draw but I feel like Brighton's wastefulness has become such a meme at this point that they're bound to click and beat someone comfortably soon, would be typical if it was tomorrow. Problem is I think for top 4 purposes we need to win this game. Midweek was bad for us. Burnley wasn't a disaster but I think to draw that we'd need to win the next two and the other results in midweek have only turned the pressure up on us. I'd sooner play a youth player and retain a back 4 than switch to 5 at the back. It's ghastly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey 1,187 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Leicester are in awful form, but they'll have enough here. As much as Brighton are going to "click" soon, the same could be said of the Foxes. Nothing exciting, but a 0-1 here for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted March 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 6, 2021 Schmeichel Amartey - Fofana - Soyuncu Ricardo - Tavares - Ndidi - Tielemans - Castagne Iheanacho - Vardy Changes in bold I'm happier with it than the other nights team and very intrigued to see how Tavares gets on, been on the fringes a little while now, but I do wish we could play a back four. I'd have probably dropped Amartey there and put in either Under or Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,369 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2021 Excited to see what Tavares can offer. Has only made 'cameo' appearances so far. Fofana back gives me a bit more confidence as it means Ndidi doesn't defend there and can actually do the job he's best at just in front of the defence. There's enough there to beat this Brighton side, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted March 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 6, 2021 Brighton are going to beat someone comfortably soon, like a 3-0 or 4-0, just please god let it be another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hope Tavares has a good game. Bit fortunate to get his opportunity with his injuries but always nice to see a young player take his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,369 Posted March 6, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted March 6, 2021 How do you even allow that much space with a back 3? Fofana ball watching, didn't see Lallana just walk through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey 1,187 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I've been dissapointed with Leicester, was looking forward to seeing them back in the swing of things with Ndidi back but they've been shite, could be 2-0 down had Maupay been onside. That said, only takes one win to bounce back. If they can nick something here they're right back in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we can somehow turn this around I think top 4 is going for us. There's a degree of inevitability about it. It's not quite last years choke, but it's not a reputation you want.

You have the best midfield duo of the teams competing and at some point your players will return to full fitness. It still feels realistic with the amount of football left to play.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted March 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 6, 2021 That for me feels like a turning point. After such a crap first half that was the perfect reaction. No surprise at all we look ten times as good when he changed to a back four. Biggest win of the season for me. Was genuinely worried we'd miss out on Europe completely at half time, but what a reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
