He never had any pace and never gets injured. He is the perfect older aged, role model player. Let's get him tied down on a new 4 year contract, sign Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester and move Lallana into a coaching position.

Toothache was early February. End of March was the narrow loss away to Liverpool, after which De Zerbi said "I have another two years of contract and to work on next season in Brighton. I don't need to extend another year or another two years on the contract. I can stay, I can work in Brighton...

Let me start by saying Pascal Gross is my favourite player. But we need someone else on corners. Gross' deadballs have led to 2 Premier League goals all season, he's taken 243 deadballs, 92 of those were corners. (Dead balls include free kicks, corner kicks, kick offs, throw-ins and goal...

No need for new time wasting routines, not when refs allow substituted players to go on a farewell tour, hugging and shaking hands with all thier teammates, before departing the pitch. As John Brooks did yesterday. What happened to departing the field at the nearest point?

So was Ansu Fati.

I think De Zerbi's dream midfield pairing next season would be Davide Frattesi and Manuel Locatelli. Locatelli would also make a perfect partner for Baleba, giving him licence to break the lines.

now I get it, this is a WUM fishing account to stir up extra activity on NSC.

Rumour is that Real Madrid spoke with him this week. With Ancelotti recently extending his contact until 2026, it may be that Real have promised Alonso that he is next in line. If I were him I'd like to continue what I'd started, knowing that I've got the Madrid gig in the bag in a couple of...

Interesting piece by ex England keeper Karen Bradsley on our keepers. Her take is that we perhaps rotate keepers to protect Bart, ease him in gently. Brighton set a new Premier League record - but can rotating goalkeepers really work? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68657908

96% pass completion and an assist (denied by VAR). But people will only remember his 1 mistake.

Its hard to argue with. Technically he is good enough, I just think he has an inferiority complex. Lukaku's reputation has done him twice this season.

Gareth Southgate has never made the first tactical substitution in a match involving England, Ever.

Get McGuire and Chilwell off, they're the Axis of Feeble

I understand why he says he rotates, I just don't think he's correct. Steele's passing is not better, his range of passing is worse. Bart's overall passing accuracy is 92.1%, Steele 83.6%.

Then he's wrong, because in Bart's 13 Premier League starts we've scored 26 goals. That's 2 goals per game. In Jason's 15 league starts we've scored 24 goals. That's 1.6 goals per game. We scored more and conceded fewer with Verbruggen in goal, yet De Zerbi insists on playing Steele more...
