[Albion] Shoutout to Adam Webster

[Napper]

Done well since returning . Do wonder on his positioning for the goal last night and its been a while we've seen a 2nd tocuh as a tackle which used to happen alot. Happy to have in the squad

Hope we go all out to sort the defence though .

NEW CB
NEW RB
NEW LB

He has been immense when playing but he did have one shocking moment when a misplaced pass very nearly resulted in a Liverpool goal last night. Long time since I’ve seen him make such an error.

I really hope we give him a contract extension as these errors are few and far between these days, and all defenders make them now and again.

I, too, would choose him over Dunk this season.

I would keep him as back up but I worry about his lack of pace. He was all over the place for their first goal last night and unfortunately that isn’t entirely fair typical. He is vulnerable when Estupinan is out of position (which sadly has been often this season)

Has been outstanding recently but last night was not one of his better games. Apart from some poor passing missed several tackles further up field which put Liverpool away

First one?

He was badly exposed by Estupinan and Adingra, doing nothing and jogging back slowly.

Sign a RB to share the games load with the brilliant Velts.

Wieffer and Baleba as our first choice two CM pivots.

Yeh, not Webster's finest hour with the heavy touch followed by the most obvious booking in football history. One or two other shaky moments, but I think his 90 minutes performance was decent again.

Bossed Chiesa then Nunez, with a little help from JPVH, for 98 minutes.

Outstanding display as a pair?

Can't agree with bossed. We let in 2 goals and could easily have let in more.

In a crazy harum scarum game like that, defences will be exposed, last ditch challenges will be needed. Our defensive pair were decent, but we rode our luck at the back at times.

Better to judge them in a more normal game.

I thought the weaknesses were (again) left side and Verbruggen.

Not a game for defensive purists and Arteta/Mourinho/Conte, end to end, acres of space.

Said the same, started very poorly, but as the game went on he got stronger

Completely useless and irrelevant stats from Scott McCarthy on BBC website

"Unsung hero: Adam Webster. Written off by many, his return from four months out in February coincided with six victories in a row. Injured again and Brighton won one in six. Returned for the final three games of the season and it was another three wins. There does not seem to be any logic behind it, but the Albion just look much better with Webster alongside Jan Paul van Hecke."

Need to offer him a new 3 year contract

Back on these shores and back to football, Adam enjoyed some of his best form in an Albion shirt during the 2024/25 season. He says it’s the most consistent he’s been since 2022, and he’s relished giving something back to those who have stuck with him. “Recently I have felt like I have needed to prove myself a bit because, I’m just going to say it… I felt written off by some people on the outside. It’s been nice to get back into the team after injury and show I can still be an asset to the squad.
“Everyone within the club has been great with me – the manager, my teammates, staff, everyone. They have stuck with me through my tough moments, so it’s been nice to repay them. The vast majority of fans have been great with me too. I have maybe let the negativity affect me a bit too much at times, especially earlier on this season, but it’s been nice to get back to where I felt I was a couple of years ago. I just want to keep working hard and help my teammates as much as I can.”
Adam’s relationship with his teammates is as strong as ever. He is part of Fabian Hurzeler’s leadership group, has captained the club in Lewis Dunk’s absence and, behind-the-scenes, is one of the most popular people at the club.
“Last summer, we lost some experienced players and got a new manager. I’ve always been a big talker and have taken leadership in my stride,” said Adam. “We have a lot of young players, and I am always happy chatting to them. I want to be there for them, giving them some advice or helping in any way. That’s something I love. It’s part of my role I really enjoy, to help the boys and the club.”
That role as a leader has developed since Adam joined the club in 2019 – a length of time at the Albion the defender “‘would have snapped your hand off for six years ago! I remember joining like it was yesterday. It was a stressful time, but I was so happy to get the move done and I now love the fact I’ve been here so long.”
Adam’s grateful to Tony Bloom and the board for helping that happen. “Everything is run so smoothly; it helps us massively on the pitch” – but he’s not sure he ever imagined being here for over half a decade. “I don’t think you ever think that far ahead in football. I’m just so grateful that I have been able to make it happen. I have appreciated that a lot this year, definitely. There have been ups and downs, but I love playing for this club.”
It’s a very different club to the one Adam joined on that day in August six years ago, one that was entering a new era – ‘Webby’ was the third signing of Graham Potter’s tenure – but relegation battles and European campaigns are all part of the journey. “When I came in, we’d just avoided the drop – but since then, we have kicked on again and again. I’ve played my part in that and that’s something I’m proud of. Those experiences have got us to where we are currently."

He's definitely a great guy with a positive attitude at the club. As well as being a top defender and stand in captain when needed as well. These sort of players are so important to have in the team

Such a good bloke, I hope he has a fantastic season.
