Yeah um tough place to go though tough little tough little team you know we're beating all right we're beating in this season but I think they've proved already that I'm at the American Express stadium that they are they're not a bad side. They've done a good job here. They've done a very good job there um decent side got a decent side establishing themselves now in the Premier League which is always difficult to do took them a while to get back up they had a couple of near misses but since he's got them up they've done well and you know they give us a even though we play quite well against us and they were still a tough game at times they were in the game so I'm expecting nothing different so what's the bid of the game against Arsenal um yesterday and I thought they were okay I mean the goal he gave away was schoolboy Sunday league defendants the goal he scored was schoolboy the gut yeah but I just thought for them to give Arsenal a delete that early by literally not just putting the ball through the the foot you know putting the foot through the ball even in the box just getting rid of it was ridiculous but um but the um gone in then you know what he couldn't won it and you know what you've just took the words out my mouth they did stay in the game they were one little band they were getting battered the keeper had to make a few good saves and they stayed in and they took the chance when it came and I think that's what this Brighton side tend to do they stay in games and no one ever seems to hammer them or you know really batter them they do stay in games and they're defensively they're a tough unit with Duncan and Duffy when one of them isn't suspended yeah the both back for the other game the heart and those two as well give you a tough time on set pieces as well I mean that's you know Gouldersen we we felt to you know a goal from a set piece which was really poor by us but you know we came out second half and we turned up the class a little bit and and obviously ended up winning the game three one with Charleston with a couple of absolutely brilliant goals in the game um which team was coming sandwiched in between yeah so it was a tough game that day it was a game we needed to win and we did and I suppose you know Saturday is it um feels similar you know just come off the back of a really good result with Bailey but to really make that mean like something we've got to go to Brighton and hopefully you know do not something similar don't expect us to go down there and get you know a victory like that but we have to go down there and show that we can go to you know any club and give them a game and hopefully get three points we've got to be targeting it as tough a game as it can be we've got to be targeting this three points if we want to stay up on the coattails at the top six you know whether that means signing an established seventh we have to win these kind of games Brighton will give us a tough game and it's a winnable game for them it's a home game you know and we haven't got a great record there so it's it'll be tough but again it's it's one you look at and think you know we've we've went to Manchester City and whoa whoa whoa we haven't got it we've played it once and then Brighton away in general um hold on now i think maybe our record's actually alright um it's it's gonna be a tricky game for us but you know we went to city and we missed chances when we lost the game and I'm rightly so um you know but we responded well at Burnie and we stuck fire past them and we'd be Brighton hardly enough two weeks ago one meal so we've just got to take our chances and if we do that and we played away we did against Burnie we can win the game I think every game this season I felt like we've been in it mm-hmm you know even this even this for an hour of the space game we went that's be honest but the first half are we were in it no the away games oh yeah every away game sorry yeah it's Christmas but pay attention I know every game no I said away game every away game we felt I felt everything in it and even the man city and we were in it there's no one is you know every game so we've got to go go to the into this one with that same sign of same kind of batting I'm sure we will I'm sure we'll have a go with them you know it's whatever the breaks are and you just hope that the breaks fall for us there was moments in the Bay in the game where if something had broke the slightly difference you never know how that would go even when we were three in a loop so I think hopefully we go there with the same attitude and you know have a real go have a real right we'll go at them well if we could if we were to go there and get a win you know six points in a few days is massive for the table and it picks everyone up and every one of all the blues going down there it'll be very different than it was walking off the ground off the Tottenham and if you can go down to to Brighton and get a result you know get a win have them be on 30 points on Saturday night you know it's it then you've got less the city at home on New Year's Day you're ready for you know you're ready for that second part of the season yeah because I mean the run now I mean we've come to the halfway stage of the season we've now got a run of games where we play people that well some are around us aren't they so exactly around us or below us and you think well these are the games that we should be winning for for our sake I mean I think we will win them same we should be winning for our sake you know you think it's we play city back in February that's like you know the next they're the next team above us who we face you kind of six above you know that kind of team so we had a nice little run now of games where we think there's there shouldn't be anything we I mean they're not in they're not tough games this will be a tough game less the city of course New Year's Day that'll be a tough game but you know they're all tough games it's about the little percentages and that's what we need Saturday one of those percentages is formed by form for us Saturday the goalkeeper Brighton's goalkeeper Matt Ryan Matt Ryan is not available he's going to the Asia Cup for Australia and he and they could just be that he was he kept them in the game against Arsenal and they went on got the got the go and got the point it could be something as simple as that have not having a absolute top-class goalkeeper which he seems to be made some great saves down there last season as well I remember and he made couple good saves in good as well he is a really top goalkeeper and it might just be that it might be one of those ones where you know instead of the keeper parming something away he palms it back into the path you know a little just little percentages can make the difference in these games definitely you know there's no we're not at the stage where we can sweep team that sounds mad I think just be barely five one but India know we don't we haven't been putting teams to the snow that we've been missing a lot of time so we're not a team like Manchester City where Brighton will be looking at it because they've not been like you said before they've not been whacked he lost their own narrowly to Tottenham he lost their own narrowly to Chelsea last week he just thrown the last you know we beaten three one I think he lost one a little bit of fuel or something like that so every games being that they've lost has been by one two goals maybe so they're not a team that gives a lot of goals up we'll have to watch them going the other way they've got La Cardia who's a threat they've got Glenn Murray who's got eight goals this season he's always a handful you know he's an old-fashioned type of centre forward he backs in buys a lot of free kicks which is dangerous because then they come up and the good and the although the goal of goodness and we can see there was a bad goal from our perspective it was a well yeah you know show up on to Soli Marti threw it in and dunk bullet the other in and it's something we'll have to really pick up on this is the reason why I think he may stick with the three centre backs of the weekend because you know I haven't yet he mean it and then Michael Keane drew with the big units they can cope with Duffy and Dunk you know or he should be able to cope with Duffy and Dunk so it's gonna be a real you know they've got players who can cause problems there's no question knock out the live replay you know they've the attack with you know with Gusto shall we say under Chris Hutan there is very attack inside as well so it's a game we can win but it's also if we're below par it's a game we could lose and it's about momentum I feel now whatever we've had a couple of defeats on the run you know we've lost three games in December you know starting with the ridiculous goal in the derby and it seems to set the tone for the gender really blue couple of home games at Newcastle Muffet so back on track with the barely win can we now do it it'd be interesting to see whether that formation does carry on from barely you know or whether it'll be slight thinking and do you agree with your three I think create the back just open I think against sides that you go and have a go at I think it opens up possibilities I think the fact that it leaves you two in midfield as creative players you can pick the ball up a little bit deeper and start working forward and having those three players centre forwards tighter together I think that'll that'll help the managers mention that Luchman after an ankle injury is trying to be assessed you know he said there's no one else really any problems he was talking very highly of Dominic Avalon in fact he was saying he wants more out of Dominic Avalon because he knows he's got more to give so we obviously looked at each start at the last three as near front so he looks at him and probably thinks you know well at the moment he's the he's the one I want you know he can with Charleston's an option whether it be left right or centre well I like about that formation I mentioned it in the final where it is it's that against teams that you think you can go and have a go at it frees you up a little bit and you've just mentioned some like Glen Murray or set pieces hopefully we've got three centre backs that we can rely on you know to deal with that and and then going forward we've got three forwards you can have a real real go and it might be a case that where Charleston comes in and if Don goes out or Theo walks out or whatever or Theo could even go central and then I could go one side with Charleston go the other and because the manager probably thinking yeah I'll start with Charleston against the last time and that psychology comes into it then personally I'd leave it I'd bring the challenge number half an hour to go again because I think I think don't be bored don't again with another another hour you know Bernard was exceptional don't take him off the team and welcome to this best game so don't mess with it too much look at the challenge and start and against Palliser Roman against Leicester Roman New Year's day fresh kick you know from the off I know what you're saying man is just trying to look and go well he did well against these last time and he did we scored arguably our best goal certainly the breakaway goal you know against from there from Brighton's corner didn't make the season with the Charleston for himself you can understand if he did but I just think me personally the only real if everyone's fit and the levels are okay the only real question man for me will be what you do with the midfield too are they good enough to cope with Brighton's too yeah probably you know the good in possession and then have Ghana you don't want to rush players back to Ghana because Ghana's vital to us so we need to be fully fit and then with Charleston if you can give him a little bit of a blow and reward there is a reward for Dominic Alvalune because I just think Bernard the way he played against Burnley he could tear these apart he's done you know that's the song goes because he really he's got that ability and he's so clever Bernard he buys he is peeing our ass in terms of way way buys time for himself and other players and then and he works so hard and then and wall cuts you know what this probably is best game for a while really against Burnley in terms of being a threat for a prolonged period of time so I'd be tempted not to mess with it too much but obviously Dominic's well he has to take into consideration the fitness and the well-being and stuff like that so with the with the less the game ahead as well and then after that obviously we've got to we can make a couple of changes I'm not I'm not taking that one so lightly the way they're playing at the moment but yeah it's it's a tough game it's you know but these are the ones we should be targeting for three points some stats last time ever money the last game of the calendar year when do you think it was well it wasn't last year and it wasn't the year before so I'm going to go for 2009 2013 we beat Southampton their own Le Carr Coon, James Scott, Dutch Creamer we won our last game the one we've I was thinking Tim Kaley we've lost one of our last five away against Brighton drawing the other two and one two Brighton won one of the last 11 games against Everton. Everton are without a win in each of their last seven Premier League games against South Coast teams. Drone three lost four that's time we won on the South Coast we beat Southampton 3-0 2015 August since the 2-0 home defeat against Leicester in March Brighton have scored at least once in their last 12 Premier League home games so there you go they are a threat they were out of clean sheet in the last nine Premier League games though there you go Everton are looking to win consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since September 2016 it's Coon's first season wasn't it because we were on the Sunday we won the first three didn't we and then that was it didn't we're gonna get all the first two and then didn't win again so one palace and that was it Everton scored five goals in their last Premier League away game but they scored in their previous six combined on the road. Everton won the final game which I've said that one after netting seven goals and I'm not going to say that one Guilty Shakers didn't score in his last two Premier League appearances one more goal will draw him level with Ida Gudjonsson 55 it'd be as the Icelandic top Premier League goals for the show we've got we've got players that can damage Brighton there's no question about it we really have and and they've got them I just want to see just want to see that level of concentration that we've seen on against Burnley that level of like you know when we need to look at longer than look at long when we need to play in the same way we're playing the same way everyone focused up you know and goalie focused everyone just having their heads on it and going you know what this period is about just getting through mind over matter seeing a game out because I just think that's it's mad because I think that's the kind of thing that those top sides have that other teams don't have that sometimes you don't can always put your finger on what it is and we've said this before and I don't listen we'll only know this out when many games are played but seeing space and getting beat by space so heavily could that be the catalyst for it to go do you know what load reviews need to just start and get in your head like Pickford's the number one I've been I've said it loads of times I said it after the city game that that being a ratic and and they're almost laughing it off or saying oh you know I'm so mentally strong well are you are you mentally strong are you too mentally strong that actually it doesn't bother you when you do these stupid things and make a balls up of things and I think at times players have to reassess and go you know what it's great that I'm doing this and this and this but what does it do in the game scheme of things if I just do this start getting me a dance you know what I mean it's I see it's like little things all the time when and I always say this it's like the amount of times I've got a son that I see players trying to keep the ball in play and it ends up giving the ball to them and then they did was one against Bailey Seamus Coleman that nearly led to them scoring and then did lead to them scoring and it's like you don't need to do get your head on the game and just put it down the line research and restart and it's like that I'm saying there's you need that all the time and that's what the top clubs have and who win things they have we saw a perfect example of that on Sunday with space I couldn't stay waiting afraid to just all the viral yeah most of the time they'll play but they're not afraid to just let it it's again get the reset get shape again and go I come again we saw a perfect mix from them they go short they go long the amount of times they went long from back to front and we're in behind just proves that it's great to do all that you know lovely passion football but the best teams mix it up Liverpool are perfect at it Liverpool are more direct than most teams you watch at times because you've got the patience the power to get in space you're doing it city and direct enough at times it's not just the best team no but the best team no when to go if you can exploit look at Brighton and Godderson they're two centre-ups and quick Duncan and Duffy they're not they're good at everything else they're good at winning headers they throw themselves in the way but if you can get beyond them they can't catch you so it's all some proof back with the third goal so then you've got to run out on the pace so run out on getting in but I think with the space one as well what I'd say about the space thing is you mentioned going long they've seen a weakness in our team and just went to keep doing that and these go practically nearly every goal of just going over the top and there's I've seen them doing that a few times they love that ball over the top the runners but when they would get it down so just focus on the game and just cut out the silly things and you know you can go back to the Manchester game with Mina Mina just lashing it into the centre of the park you don't need to do that content that is just purely losing focus on what you've got to do and I think just that will always come with young players or players that you know don't maybe enough fully in tune but there's nothing wrong with just the one about kicking it out really bugs me I see it all it's so are really unusually keep it in kind of keep it in instead of just going it's gone just it's gone just keep going well it was the last year I think picked for I can't think off the top of me but I don't really remember them being a rat show or a ratic or cost on us goals as such or put them taking too many chances last year but since you come back from the Wailco this year I'm not blaming the Wailco but I'm just saying whether it's a lack of focus or whether it's arrogant or whether it's cockiness whatever it is you know west of me now it's past the ball out it ended up not it's a bit of everything it's Liverpool there's been orders it's it's that idea that it's that idea that I'm better than other people that's fine and I've got no problem with that a professional football needs to feel probably needs to feel like that for his ego to to charge the confidence to push it out there that's great being mentally strong but it's it's just knowing when to do some things and when not to do things and and it's you know that's where it's like get your focus and those things will come automatically you know and well he did I think you're right against barely he did kind of seem to go just do your jobs because we've got some very very good footballers in our team so if they do the basic stuff everything else will take off right this is where training is so important because I noticed in barely as well the amount of times that you could see stuff and it was straight off the training pitch and it's just that muscle memory of just going bang bang third man running and people are doing and you know and then when people you evolve on that of course you do and that's where you see more technical side of things but the best teams will just it's it's just what we practice it every single day and then we it comes out on the pitch but that that takes focus that takes focus and dedication and and I think we've got to start seeing more I seen that in the Bay in the game and even though they're not a good side you know you to run away with the game away from home by that kind of score it needs that level of concentration that level of being on things and the level of you know we scored from that indirectly indirectly from three set pieces for our first league goals and that comes from just doing things right that's why I think on corners you know you just there's no you know we're so poor on corners because it's like well we'll just throw this one in and it's like no get your head on it get your head think about what you do that's why people like Brighton are so dangerous because they they're teams that spend the week thinking I'll come we score they were playing the difficult side this week I'll come we score right we'll knock her up to you know the front you're backing you win as a freak or a corner you'll work all day to do that and then let's be bought on the set pieces because that's something we can work on that's something that we can we can control repetition repetition repetition and if you do that you get a corner you have your nose what you do the signal the long the short people know what they're doing and balling and and there's moving we see that with the goal we can see that against Brighton and Goulderson there's a well way corner that they've worked off the 3 in grand because we're doing zone on mark and I'm getting very good at that stage they played it sure through we've changed the angle through with in and that's the goal that's where concentration comes in because you remember that goal feel woke up to not switched on doesn't go and charge the ball down which gives the lad time to put the perfect ball into a good header and that's what's saying to that concentration of saying in these games like I'm switched on at all times to make sure that if you place that shirt and there I don't let him put an easy ball in he has to beat me if he wants to put that ball then everyone gets a chance in the box to set themselves so and if you remember that game at that stage at 1-0 we've missed about four good chances to make it 2-0 you know and so it just felt like a kick and a punch in the gut because you were like we should have really took control of this game and that's what we'll have to be wary of hopefully three points um we'll see what happens you know whatever he picks whatever every side he feels is is capable of getting out there then then you know but I think this would be a good game and it'll be a good test for us and hopefully you know if we can get three points that'd be a real catalyst going forward then because you know it's been a bit of a dodgy month and you know one good one good win isn't really enough in December and it's also away wins isn't it yeah of course it's a bit confidence you know it's that was our second away win can we get our third away win because we play a lot of games away from home in the second half of the season that you'd look at and go we could win here if we could get up to eight away and they're the teams they're the games that get you to six or whatever I mean exactly it's like it's become slightly different now with the sixth position because of what's happened that you man United but we've got a we can only affect that by winning our games so it doesn't matter what they do does it no I know it's a bounce for us they've got the the social bounce at the moment but they've had favourable games when they have a couple of trick he wants them we'll see but all's we can do is win as many we've got to we've got to go with the R7 place trophy and make sure that we're solid for that and we only do that by winning the likes of this game let us know your thoughts in
