Our own record v West Ham must be as bad as that! Hopefully that can change this season but Alvarez and JWP are very decent signings to replace the Rice void. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want Brighton going crazy and winning their first 5-6 games and getting 10 + point lead on us. As we saw last season we couldn't quite claw everyone back who had that three month head start on us and they'll have Thursday-Sunday just like us from next month. Brighton got 1.53 ppg under De Zerbi last season. We got 1.96 ppg with Unai. They have a way to go yet to match our consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just read Julio Enciso done his ACL. That's a massive blow for Brighton as he's been brilliant for them in last few months. Not involved today so De Zerbi will be asked about it post match you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also capable of sticking 6s and 4s past Wolves, we aren't quite so good at that yet. They always beat West Ham so not beating them today is good and they then have Newcastle and Man. United so they'll be dropping of points from someone in top 6. Edited August 26, 2023 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange as we always seem to match up well against Brighton and have often beat them since our promotion season but always struggle against West Ham who themselves struggle against Brighton! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 15 and lost 6 under Emery. Brighton play good football and can score plenty, but they aren't the unstoppable force that the media make them out to be.

Villatillidie95 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Hammers fans chanting champions of Europe you’ll never sing that one plus side for us is we don’t actually have to win the ECL to sing that even though I think we have a great shot at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Fantastic ball by benrahma, right into the path of Bowen. And what a run that was from him. You won’t see many better counterattacks than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Great result for us for the months ahead. West Ham will also dip a bit when Europa starts but they'll certainly be nowhere near relegation zone like last season. Top 10 is certainly realistic for them.
