[Albion] Solly March Tonight

[Farehamseagull]

I thought last night was probably his best performance for a couple of years. It was probably about as good as he can be and he was half the player Lamptey is. I thought the ability of our 13 year old right back would really highlight the difference between them and highlight why we need a better player at left back but it's clearly not our number 1 priority.

I still believe Bernardo is better at every aspect of the game than March is, but Potter's made his bed. March was clearly a 7/10 last night and if that becomes his standard level of performance over the course of the season then it'll be a big improvement on the previous 3 Premier League seasons.

I’ve watched every single game Bernardo has played for us either at the game or on TV and he has never played as well as March did last night and as for better at every aspect of the game?! That’s just not even slightly true.

Bernardo might be a better defender than March (at the moment) but March is better at passing, crossing, shooting and also better positionally. There are reasons why Potter has consistently picked 2 players who have spent most of their career playing in other positions in Burn and March ahead of Bernardo.

According to The Other 14 no player outside the Big6 carried the ball for more progressive yards than Solly March on matchday 1.

It's all lies, I don't believe it, Solly is RUBBISH and we should GET RID.




I see Webster's in the mix too - also RUBBISH and we should GET RID TOO.

I think you are talking to a wall here, this is a guy that gave Potter a 1 out of 10 rating after the win against Arsenal... I dont think he cares about what Potter prefers. In this guys mind, Brighton should be a top 4 team and the best players are Bernardo, Ali J and Andone.

It's great.
Although we've all been here before, I'd love to see similar numbers Sunday evening.

I'll still not be getting on the bus, but as usual, I will stay in the queue ready to jump on.



My biggest take away from those numbers is:-

What the feck is the point of palace?

Had to double check to see if I'd missed them somehow.

Wilf aside they genuinely never feature high up in the 'Other 14's' output.

Making the usual end of season table all the more frustrating.

Was frustrating last season as we scored 8 more goals than them during the season but they finished higher!

Who have thought it, Solly March is better than wunderkid Tariq Lamptey

And so is Adam Webster, which sort of puts the raw stat into perspective.

So March and Webster were better than Lamptey on Monday? This stat shows nothing
