Bournemouth 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 3

Bournemouth 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 3

First thoughts:
1) Both managers made 8 changes and left out top players.
2) Stream and radio. Missed some of the first half by stream.
3) Knockeart MOM (in patches), Bissouma (in patches), Locadia (in patches) looked good.
4) Bruno and Bong looked very good at the back, sound, very hard to beat, composed, and Bong put in two excellent crosses.
5) Jason Steele warmed to making saves (made to look easy) near the end. I always thought he was a good shot stopper.
6) Balogun still a bit error prone.
7) Brighton best for two-thirds of the game and good for the win.
8) Florin Andone looks to have a Murray-like knack for scoring goals.

Don't despair if you can't. It was an error strewn highlights. Brighton looked more comfortable as the game went on. Steele after having nothing to do was called on to make two late saves. That seemed to increase his confidence and made conceding less likely!

Pugh's goal for Bournemouth was the best of the four.

CH has a selection headache for the next game vs Liverpool.

After Mathew Ryan's opening Asian Cup disappointment it's the turn today of Ali J and Iran. Their opening group game is against Yemen in Abu Dhabi (4pm UK time). #bhafc

Ali J is fit following his hamstring trouble but will not be involved. Saved instead for the other group games, the last against Iraq. #bhafc

He’s been training with the team, likely just being safe because the first game or two aren’t going to be too difficult. Will most certainly feature in knockout phase games, you should watch those!

FA CUP 4th round draw:

Brighton and Hove Albion vs West Bromwich Albion.

Hopefully Burton Albion can join in for a three-way ("with some honey in the middle there's some leeway")

Facts about Brighton and Hove (Source: www.dailykos.com)


Hove is a town in Sussex, one of the "home counties" of the United Kingdom. The reason why they are called home counties is that King Jarvis V had a home in each county. But he never lived in them.

The name Hove comes from the company "Hovis", who make flour and bread. In the late 18th century, Hovis made a new type of product called "Best of Both", and this is why Hove decided to unite with its arch enemy Brighton to form Brighton and Hove.

Unfortunately, both the Brightons (the supporters of Brighton) and the Hovinders (supporters of Hove) could not unite. Therefore, they needed to find a tale in mythology to allow them to join. This was the ancient story of "Albion", a land which existed before Britain was forged out of the ancient Pangaea. William Blake references it in his mythology, as does Ptolemy in his map of the UK. This was a tale of a troubled land which was by four sons - one who came from the town of Burton, another from the west of a village called Bromwich, and two twins who came from both Brighton and Hove. Together, they united the nation and defeated their ancient enemies.

Since this story has been recounted to generations of children in both Brighton and Hove, the club has risen to its current position. It truly is the best of both.

Good draw for Brighton, most likely Alireza will play in the Round of 16 tie (assuming they beat WBA)

Honestly, with Torabi playing well and Ghoddos, Amiri and Ansarifard all quality choices, its not a foregone conclusion Jahanbakhsh starts a game in this tournament. Taremi has the other side locked down. He's not going anywhere.

I would say it sort of depends on the decided play style and opposition of the match. As an out and out wide player AJ is much better at providing good delivery to the box, plus he is very clinical with his passing in the final third. Taremi is much stronger and is a bigger threat in the box, plus he has intelligent positioning. Really depends on which qualities will be more useful on the day.

I think All those players mentioned can also play through the middle and make way for AJB. It all depends on how he performs when CQ deems him fit.

Liverpool game:

Brighton are missing first choice Ryan (GK), Izquierdo (LW), Bernardo (LB) and Jahanbakhsh (RW).
Liverpool are missing Lovren (CB) and Matip (CB) and Gomez (CB) which leaves them missing a specialised centre back and Fabinho may play there.

Predicted starting XI

Liverpool
4-3-3
Alisson;
Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Van Dijk, Robertson;
Wijnaldum, Henderson (or Milner); Shaqiri,
Firmino, Mane; Salah


Brighton could possibly have two centre-backs on the bench: Balogun, Burn
4-2-1-2-1
Button (or Steele)
Bruno (or Montoya) Duffy Dunk Bong
Stephens Pröpper
Groß
Knockaert March
Murray
subs: Andone, Locadia, Bissouma, Kayal

This is what I expect CH to play, not the team I'd play.
