I’d take a 1-1 right now, or a 2-2
All model predictions are a 2-1 home win.
We do need a result and a performance.
But they’ve good players.
Time for the new team and manager to stand up and be counted.
My prediction 2-2 Enciso (ex Brighton boy) [Post edited 12 Sep 10:15]

I'd take a draw too. Agree we need to start strong and quieten the crowd. If we perform like we did for the first half against Man U then I think we'll be fine. Just need a sustained performance for both halfs and no mistakes in defence. |  | | |

We really settled quickly at Old Trafford, got into a good shape and managed the spaces around the pitch, the space between the lines, were calm but with excellent press.
Agree if we can get into that state we’ll do well. But they’re a different formation, have Wharton.
Palacios, Lukic, OShea and Enciso key players today. | |

We also looked a real threat in the first half at Old Trafford. Palacios man on man with Wharton perhaps? Agree on your players but I'd add Leif and the goalie to that. | | | |

A win, a solid performance and Scherpen looking fully settled.
It would be a dream day TrimandBlue

I'm hopeful for today. We have some good players ourselves
and should feel confident. I want to see us being much more organised off the ball and being hard to play against. If I see that, I'll be happy. | | | |

Yeah I’m with you Adams on seeing organisation and structure. That structure and solidity at old Trafford before the slip was so heartening. We know we have it in us. And it comes when partnerships and training have really stuck. We’ve had a number of weeks on the training pitch now as a group.
I know someone got brickbats for calling today a MASSIVE game for GON. But I really do think these next two games before the international break could be season defining - I know I know, no such thing as a must win, it’s too early. But a draw or win today with that solid performance we’re both seeking - it’s a huge boost for the players, manager and project.
As you say our squad quality is so much higher than the start of the last Prem campaign. Albeit we did have confidence from the promotion season. We’ve left £50m of fees out of the matchday squad today which is insane.
If we were to lose the next two, that Fulham game becomes critical, a lot of pressure, and with Fulham having a chance to regroup.

There have been so many positives that if we can sort the organisation and structure, which has at times been very bad, I'll be very confident of staying up. We have players who can cause any team's problems going forward, and our midfield has the potential to be good. We just need to make sure teams have to work harder to score against us | | | |

People don’t like to hear it, but the first 5 games are basically season defining for promoted teams based on historic stats. So hoping for a very competitive game today and for us to sneak a win COYB |  | | |
