Not defending Fabian, because obviously the right thing to do would've been to acknowledge and apologise in front of the away end, but he rarely makes a presence of himself at away games whether we've won or lost
Unsure whether the bar was literally on the floor from the midfield showing in the first half, but it felt like Diego Gomez had a bit about him. 4 tackles was the second highest tackle-count of anyone on the pitch (second to Neco Williams on 6), having only played 45 minutes
I wouldn't see this as entitlement. It's important to remember that Bloom has poured a LOT of investment into the squad in the last 12 months and Barber has spoken publicly on numerous occasions about how our ambitions as a club are to compete regularly for European football. Of course this is a...
To say he'd do it again is a really poor look and a bit of an insult to fans like myself who travelled today.
Appreciate he was dealt a bad hand this afternoon & that not many midfielders could play 90 minutes but to play so offensively from the off was tactically naive in my opinion.
I'm no...
I don't really rate Jakub as a player anymore, and that is partly due to the unfortunate injuries ruining him as a player, but... I do rate that he stuck around fulfilled his duties for us until the very last minute.
Even though he's had a very limited role, he's been available for Fabian to...
He's a weird player. In spells he plays well beyond his years and looks to be a real asset to the team, I feel like his tenacity is a real strongpoint for him but he's clearly pretty raw at the moment
First half last night I thought he was by far-and-away our worst player out there. His work on...
It does seem to be a fairly Brighton thing to struggle against poor opposition. It was a trait of both Potter and RDZ too. It's not a Hurzeler-exclusive issue but it's a painfully frustrating one that we just can't seem to navigate.
I don't think Fabian is that close to being sacked, nor do I...
"Before Marseille's opening game of the season, Robert De Zerbi used a projector to display a blurred-out contract offer from Manchester United in front of his squad.
He told his players: “This is where I could have been, but I put my passion before money. I came to Marseille for the passion."...
Special mention to Fabian's substitutes today. Not only did Carlos completely turn the game on it's head with a superb display, but also showed real intent making a triple sub just before the 90th minute.
I thought Georginio showed some real signs of quality and looked very sharp in his...
Difficult to see what Potter's game plan is in all this.
He's interviewed for a couple of jobs now and seemingly become very close to dotting I's and crossing T's yet stalled at the very last minute.
If he was holding out for England job as suggested elsewhere surely he wouldn't have even...
Is tribalism in football a new phenomenon to you?
I think it's a bit naive to disregard the emotion of Bruno's move for large swathes of our fanbase who felt a real connection with him. You can justify any football transfer on monetary grounds, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it...
I'd probably say Kaoru is our second-best-suited wide-forward profile (after Pedro of course) & after looking at a few heatmaps for SP it seems as though his left and right forwards still hold a fair bit of width, suggesting Mitoma will fit just fine. I think Mitoma at LWB would be a real waste...
