Loss Premier League: Arsenal 0 - 3 Brighton And Hove Albion | Sunday 14th, May | KO: 16:30 BST | Sky Sports

Brighton conceded 5 at home to Dyche's Everton. They're still a dangerous team. But I think we should be fairly comfortable. They're not a physical side like Newcastle. They play football the 'right way' which should suit us.

Our record has not been greet against them since they gained promotion back in 2017. They've always made life difficult for us. Even the game we won was always a struggle. Think this season was the first time we beat them emphatically. No reason not to beat them at home especially as they'll be low on confidence. We beat them, we put them at risk of losing European football and they play out of their skin to get a result against City.





Think the lineup picks itself tbh except maybe Jorginho eps his place.



Prediction

Arsenal 2-0 Brighton

 

[MikelHadADream]

Think once we get the advantage, Eddie becomes key for that transitional game.

It’s quite end to end as it is tbh.

 

[TinFish]

Reiss should come on. Need someone who takes care of the ball and makes good decisions in the final 3rd.

85th minute bro

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Both teams look in holiday mode this half

 

[mpower2540]

A Ben White upgrade is somewhere between needed and nice to have.

Thinking about the CL not just qualifying for top four.

I agree actually and I’m a big fan of his. His defending and passing is just not quite at the level we want to reach. He’s just a bit off sometimes

 

[14Henry]

Might watch Armagh vs Derry instead.

Youl have some job differentiating the kits. Can't believe someone didn't think to change them.

 

[Riou]

The linesman calling offside from the throw in kinda sums us up so far, tbh.

Have the better chances, but not really playing well after Martinelli tried to give Mitoma a clothesline from hell ffs!

Wonder if the City win as demotivated them a bit, hopefully we pick it up in this half...get Saka one v one on their left back as much as possible, Bukayo has him.

Said for a couple of weeks we should be upgrading right back and have White as backup CB/RB. For certain games I'd love a pacey, overlapping full back.

If that's holiday mode, imagine when they get serious.

People were calling him the best right back in the league early in the season?

If it wasn't for Derry's white hoop it would be awful.

 

[OnlyOne]

Caicedo is a worry.

 

[TriniGunner]

We need an upgrade to Xhaka in that role as well. I do like him a lot but we need a more youthful and mobile player in that position. Also, anyone telling me that we don't need a striker in the mold of Giroud or Haaland is clearly losing their mind.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Brighton have had one chance from what I remember. We have less possession but are more dangerous.

 

[Macho]

Lmao the replays Ben got bodied man. Stop replaying it ffs

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yea because both are quality but too many bad passing we just need to shift a gear to upper level

 

[MikelHadADream]

Games like this where you see the real gulf between us and City. They can make 4 changes and bring in 4 top class players. We struggle a lot when we have to do that.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

White has been excellent all season. You know things are coming to the end when people start criticising players who've haven't put a foot wrong the whole way. All that's left I guess

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

That situation came about cause of what Martineli done to Mitoma i have no sympathy once again am not the only one who mentioned it was receipts.

Please do not put words in my mouth i never said that i said what Martineli got was receipts for what he did to Mitoma.

You’re so unreasonable to talk to, you must be a troll. I was retaliating you putting words in my mouth about me being a fan of scummy play and trying to injure players… pointing out your hypocrisy as you’re defending targeting Martinelli and fouling him multiple times until he goes off injured because he did one bad challenge.

 

[Rasmi]

It’s games like this xhaka sticks out like sore thumb

 

[Blankety Blank]

Not at our best. Obviously the City result has deflated the boys.
Fair play to Brighton, were always gonna put in a decent performance after last week. They are a good side. We still probably had the better chances though. In a way it's good we are developing different ways to play.

Feeling it a little for our boy @farzad4daarse.
His boy Nelli off & no goals for him to enjoy so far.

Hope his What's app hook up did him a solid at least.
If not he may well be on the hunt later
