Interesting read,......quite frank in places . Thanks for posting it up

I’ve always thought Ali has a huge amount of talent just needs to be a little more consistent.

Very frank, I admire his honesty.

He is consistent in training. The key is getting more match time to achieve the consistency on a matchday.

Much of that reads like I ghost wrote it :lolol:

He alluded to what I think has held him back.

When we were finally allowed to talk about what he brings as a footballer I blindly stumbled into the thought process that's he's just too one dimensional.
Worst still is his one dimension really doesn't fit in with Potterball.

Not only does GPott not want wingers.
He also doesn't want his wide men getting the ball on the touchline and heading straight for the penalty spot.

I just don't think Ali is 'total football' enough to be starting XI week in week out.

If you are right, then we may miss a big opportunity with him. I think he is class.

TBH I doubt I am right, much like everyone else I have no actual knowledge.
As said it's a thought process I stumbled into at the start of the year, but this one, amazingly for me, still has legs 4 months later!

So do I. Always have.

Harry Wilson's tackle · Apr 11, 2020

"But I do like the idea of being able to speak Spanish since there are so many Spanish speaking people wherever you go and also because some of my closest friends in the team like Martin Montoya, Bernardo, and Florin Andone speak it."

So it isn't true that everyone hates Flozza, then

Can I have some of yours? My stash is empty and the guy on the corner says its a drought right now.

You may have found you were responding to a "joke". No one really ever knows.

The late chance he laid on for Maupay and his cross for the equaliser against Watford were good examples. No messing, no taking too many touches, just good direct wing play. It may be one dimension but it's a very useful one.

Change at Barnham · Apr 11, 2020

Interesting that he said he was led to expect to be starting against Arsenal.
Also that Tony Bloom had made the effort to go to Holland to speak to him when trying to sign him.
And that Brighton have told him that they don't want to make him available for transfer.

He comes across as an intelligent person with good self-awareness. I do hope he succeeds.

Refreshing to read an interview from a footballer that isn't full of cliches.

Will be interesting to see how much he plays once football restarts.

Low crosses, at pace, sign of quality wing play, the guy is class, and he can shoot.

He also sounds like a model professional. He has made a mug of so many of the NSC “ not even a footballer” posts. We just needed to play to his strengths as an attacking player.

Wow, a great interview. Ali seems intelligent, fair minded, honest and hard working. I hope he gets more chances at Albion. If he leaves I predict he'll be great at a new club. Very good, direct questions from the interviewer, and very frank answers. I wish British soccer interviews could be more like this. Thanks for posting !!

Just as advertised - they don’t make many like him personality wise. He has so much left in the tank to provide Brighton and hopefully when corona is over we will all see it

GloryDays · Apr 11, 2020

Really hope (if we ever play another game) he does well and gets the fruits of his labour and positivity.

Excellent footballer and seemingly nice guy. Seems some small pieces need to fall in to place.
