[Albion] Analysis: Why Joao Pedro is a perfect fit for Brighton's attack

[Bozza]

Two interesting stats:

1. Adept at nipping in front of defenders at the last moment, Joao Pedro is actually the most fouled regular striker in the Premier League (42).

2. And since the start of last season no one in English football has earned more penalties than the 23-year-old.

It would also be interesting to know how many of those fouls given were actually fouls

And how many fouls committed on JP were not called because refs thought it happened quite often.

The boy who cried wolf eh!

 

[Mellotron]

Feels like a paradox, because to my eyes he is ALSO capable of being really shit at diving at times/goes down incredibly easily...

So does he come straight back into the starting eleven for Liverpool ?

Erm the guy who scores about 6 non pen goals a season.......

 

[WATFORD zero]

I have to say, when everyone is fit and on form, It's Danny and Georginio for me this season

I can't believe that I am saying Brazil's no 9 doesn't make the Albion's starting 11, but that's right, it's completely f***ing ridiculous

Spot on.
Not a bad option to bring on for one of them after 70 minutes though

No. Don't need him.

 

[OzMike]

He doesn't want to play anymore, would give him the rest of fhe season off and cash in on the thransfer.

Fair point.

We just look a bit stronger having another body slotting into midfield out of possession.

 

[Bodian]

No. Don't need him.

Don't even need him for penalties now Danny has sorted that for us.

Yes - he’s an excellent player who did a brain dead thing at Brentford but he has plenty credit in the bank. We have to assume Liverpool will play a strong team and if they do, they will be on another level compared to what we faced today

 

[saafend_seagull]

Welbeck needs a rest so much needed having him back. Maybe Rutter on the bench too?

Agree that Danny looks tired. Not his fault, and has done well to stay injury free when we really needed him.

He’s got nine days to rest until the Liverpool game though. He’ll be fine.
