The penalty miss was unfortunate. But regarding Evan's form for the Albion, the whole team has been struggling against shitty sides that employ a low block. The main providers from the wing (Solly, Mitoma) have been largely missing, and the rare opportunities that Evan gets for a proper run-out...

Probably more due to the fact that he tends to get chucked on as an impact sub/striker more often than not nowadays

Tempting to say he needs more game time, but at the same time he's not really making the most of his limited opportunities. Tho tends to get chucked on by RDZ more in hope than expectation

My worry is we only get to see a few tantalising glimpses of the lad before he inevitably gets cashed in and shipped out

Dammit! Might be reduced to starting with a Brazilian signing and a loan player from Barcelona up front. PBOBE OUT! :angry:

Couldn't source a decent kebab?

It sort of makes sense. The player was a slower, lardier version of Maupay

The knee?

Pretty sure you're absolutely wrong on that score. But what do either of us know eh? :shrug:

Evan's dad will dictate when Evan leaves. Hopefully the dad is the son's agent, or has majority control over them

Luckily his career seems to be largely guided by his dad. Who is doing a grand job of keeping his boy properly grounded. That 18 year old boy is already the ROI Messiah. He'll need every bit of grounding he can get

Best of all, he's chosen the Albion over more lucrative opportunities and plays with a great big smile on his face. He clearly loves it here!

Mitoma did ever so well there, showed great strength and determination to create the chance for Evan to slot home

Two beautifully-taken goals. He's the real deal and no mistake :clap2: And an amusing moment when the Southampton defender realised that Evan had been helping himself to a bottle of water out of the Saints physio's bag while he was treating their player. He really wasn't happy! :lolol:

Hopefully EF's dad is also his agent

Evan's dad Barry, former professional footballer and current development officer with the FAI, will doubtless have steered his son in completely the right direction. Boy's got all the time in the world to make his next move. It's only going to get better for the lad. It's barely even started...

Tho its up to the Albion (and the ROI) to manage Evan's game time, his family appear to have already done a grand job of keeping him grounded. Hard to envisage that changing anytime soon

From this morning's BBC Gossip column: 'Striker Evan Ferguson, 18, will turn down a move to Manchester United because the Republic of Ireland international thinks staying at Brighton will be better for his development. (Sun)'

He's 18

Loving this quote from Evan on this morning's BBC website: "It doesn't really bother me. It's just a game of football. It's all talk with people getting excited," he said. Boy's properly grounded :clap2: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65047236
