BHA vs ARS

@ Brighton & Hove Albion FC · Sat, Sep 19, 9:00 AM CDT · likely 3-2-5

High, coordinated, trap the centre-back. Weak side: Blind-side run off their left 8.

1. Brighton press as a unit and trap the centre-back on his first touch.
2. Raya’s first pass cannot be the 6 if they have jumped. Wide, then in.
3. They leave a blind-side lane off the left 8. Gyökeres times that run.

1. Brighton press as a unit and trap the centre-back on his first touch.

3. They leave a blind-side lane off the left 8. Gyökeres times that run.
4. Set pieces both ways are live. They score and concede them.
5. Do not play through the first press with hero balls. Two-pass exits.
6. If we survive 15 minutes of pressure the game opens. Then Saka.
7. Their rest-defense is weaker than their press. Turnovers in the middle third are gold.
8. Amex is a short trip. Full-strength XI if the CL is a week later.
