FA CUP SEMI-FINAL - Brighton v Manchester United - Official match thread - KO 4:30pm 23/04/2023

We've been okay this season at bouncing back from dreadful results. Hopefully today is one of those games. Feel so much more relaxed knowing that clown is suspended.

Lindelof and shaw at CB? It looked like shaw and rashford were rushed back and were not fully fit against Sevilla. Wouldn’t be surprised if he plays Casemiro at CB. Eriksen and sabitzer CM and Bruno 10.

Though I would always like our best players playing in their best positions . He could go fully LVG and try something completely new and play AWB at CB. He can tackle , is quick , isn’t a short arse. But again you’re asking for trouble .

Hopefully shaw is fit and he can slot into CB.

Also £#%&! Sancho and martial

Is The Scottish Player fit? He’s got centre half on his cv hasn’t he

He has but I don’t think he is. His timing is awful. Been injured most of the time he might’ve been required this season.

He plays poor as a CM. It would be even worse as a CB imo. Played there in a back 3 for Scotland but he isn’t quick, can see him tripping over his own feet . He would struggle with a high press .

If it wasn’t a semi final I’d have been tempted to thrown Mengi in but you can’t do that in a big game .

I’m not sure Mengi is fit tbh.

Shaw. Thank £#%&! for that.

We have a chance. Hope he doesn't go lame in the first few minutes.

As strong a side as we could put out.

Stunned Martial has made it. Gotta get through the warm up first though.

Martial only single contribution since he arrived was in the fa cup

Doesn’t fancy Malacia does he

He'll be mainly dropping deep, then later to his knees.

For now he’s lost ETH’a trust after that awful mistake that changed everything against Sevilla

He’ll be fine long term but for now at the business end of the season he can’t trust him

Relaxed about this one, not sure why everyone is shitting bricks because it’s Brighton, time to crack open the first beer of many 🍺

State of that bench compared to City’s

Honestly think that’s our best front 3. I’m hoping Casemiro has shaken the dust off as he wasn’t great in the week.

That big irish farm hand is unfit so welbeck starts for brighton

Imagine being down and having to bring on weghorst for a goal

What channel is it on over there?

Feeling alright about this atm. Pink gin from the concourse bar - nice. Just seen Jaff - also nice .

Genuinely surprised martial is back. All that should tel you is he pussied out vs Sevilla. If his injury didn’t even take him out for 3/4 days it can’t have been more than a knock
