Like Tadic did.
Also worth remembering that Locadia and AJ tore up the dutch league.

Please bear in mind that I was in the front row with the sun in my eyes so my view was far from perfect (especially of what was happening over on the far side) so:
Ryan 8
Bruno 7
Duffy 7
Dunk 6
Bong 7
March 7
Stephens 7
Propper n/a
Groß 5
Izquierdo 6
Murray 5
Subs:
Kayal 9 (our MotM)
Bernado 6
Hughton 9/10 Got what he came for, cant argue with that even though it is tough to watch

Wouldn't be surprised if he's played some 90 minutes without touching it too.
Didn’t go, but listened on 5Live. They were absolutely scathing of our inability to keep the ball, but grudgingly positive about the defensive performance. I’m assuming it will broadly be the same team v Spurs, with perhaps Locadia instead of Murray to play the lone striker who virtually never touches the ball. Tough times ��

Semi Finalists in the Champion’s League. Who’d have thought they’d want a player not good enough for Brighton (according to many fans)
The only conclusion is that he’s not a battler, sad that we have to stuff our team with players like that to stay up and cannot adjust to having skilful players. If that’s what the future holds I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather be watching us in a division in which we can entertain the fans. Watching other teams great players at the Amex is not really my ambition as a Brighton fan if we can’t go toe to toe with them every week.
Did you deduct the one point for CH for not starting Kayal?
I would have deducted more than that. We all know barring injury our MotM would have stayed on the bench all game.

Veron was one of the classiest players I have ever seen. Man U dumped him because he didn't fit the english game.
The CL is a weird one, we'd probably give 4th seeds and some 3rd seeds a competitive game even in our current state.
Have you watched Dutch football? It's no surprise if Davy wants to go there and be paid similarly, he would barely need to break stride most weeks and be a hell of alot more effective than he is with us.

We would not give a game to any of the knockout stage Champion”s League teams imo. We might defend in depth and lose 1-0 but we would not beat any of them. We currently struggle against Championship sides. Yes we could probably match some of the “make up the numbers “ sides in the knockout phase. Ajax are currently not one of those.
I guess I’m just pissed that we are not set up to consider flair players as shoo ins for our first team

Ideally a skilful battler but if choices have to be made (and for our ‘levels’) give me a battler any day.
True. But then Brighton made it to the FA Cup semi and England to the WC semis. I think it’s fair to say both had luck on their side with opponents and results. Not sure I’d use a one-off appearance in a semi final to gauge greatness. Repeated appearances maybe.

If we had flair players maybe they would be. Propper imho does not fit that description.
He has had enough games but has contributed little. If he was a flair player he would have had more than 1 assist.
Not sure what he does to be honest - can't run with the ball, doesn't assist goals, can't tackle.
Jose is far more a flair player for me and (when fit) contributes far more.
DP flatters to deceive.
You should never trust any stats without questioning them first. Reason being, "86% of statistics are completely made up". Because while the numbers never lie, the statistics almost always do.
'There are 3 types of lies, lies. damned lies and statistics'
What the stats don’t show are commitment.......Kayal was busting his balls for the team.
In the context of a player’s match statistics, what exactly do you mean by this?
Watched it on a stream.
5 is average
Ryan 7 Made a couple of crucial saves
Bruno 7 Was very solid as usual
Duffy 7 Good game what we come to expect of Duffy
Dunk 7 Good game what we come to expect of Dunk
Bong 7 Came in a did a decent job
March 7.5 Good game
Stephens 5 Better than the last couple of games but still gave the ball away too cheaply
Propper n/a
Isquierdo 5 Not one of his best games but is not fully fit (not sure he should have played)
Gross 6 Did an ok job
Murray 4 He did his best with no service. He should be replaced by Andone until the end of the season
Kayal 8 MOM
Bernardo 6 Did well coming on for Bruno
Team as a whole 8

Oh ffs how these change from against Cardiff, only 4 days ago. Has no one got the balls to say we are still shit? What do you not understand about football?
Stats can be easily manipulated to bolster an argument, as anyone who has studied statistics would confirm.
It is all in context though, compared to others we may be shit but for where we are the boys dug deep and got a very valuable point against a side that have performed much better than we have.
But not great football I agree!
