Gross scores that. But he is 33 and an experienced goalscoring pro.
Give Ayari a couple of dozen more games and he probably does too. He's dynamic, doesn't stop running and wants to get into the box.
I don't think it's even close to a given that WBG scores that chance either though, mainly because he wouldn't have been there, he'd have been 10 yards back.
Gross missed a SUPERB chance at Arsenal last season, on about 84 minutes, that would have made that game 1-1.

Honestly, he gives me Frank Lampard vibes. His late runs into the box are superb, and something I rarely saw from Gilmore. I don't think he's good enough to be around the first team squad just yet, but he strikes me as a VERY hard worker. I think he has a huge ceiling, and I hope it's with us because he appears hugely likeable.

Well played Yasin.
I don't recognise their back five, but the front six look pretty tasty. I can think of at least two posters who will be able to provide more in-depth feedback.
The goalie is Viktor Johansson, currently playing for Stoke. The rest of the defenders are ok, Hien plays for Atalanta, two plays in Poland, Augustinsson (once rumoured to Brighton) in Belgium. Its a random lot that you're not expected to know about :)

The front six is indeed tasy. Sweden didn't have a good central midfielder for about ten years but now there's a few coming through, Ayari being one of them - and he was certainly among the best yesterday and took a massive step toward being a starter in tougher games.

The four attacking players (and some very decent bench options) are perhaps the most talented front four we've ever had... but they force the rest of the team to play a football they aren't really good enough to master. The Azerbaijanis could have scored three more goals yesterday.

I definitely think he is first team squad ready. Not a nailed on starter, but will always make a contribution. Loving how he is developing.

It's a minor thing but still relevant, that in his handful of games he's looked 10x more likely (and come closer with the marginally disallowed strike and the Arsenal one discussed above) to score than Gilmore did in a far greater period. Overall play matters more than goals but everything is looking positive and like it will continue to improve with more minutes on the pitch.

He has a lot of physical development still to do.

On the ball, he's very tidy. But was dribbled past 6 times vs Azerbaijan, and only won 2/11 ground duels.

He needs to play with a holding midfielder if he's playing in a 4-2-3-1 system.

And two assists and a goal for that Gyökeres geezer. We should keep an eye on him :wink:

Joking ! I'm quite happy with Welbz, João Pedro, Evan, Encisco, Rutter etc

Gyökeres is probably the only major example of Brighton dropping the ball.

Probably didn't expect him to become this good after his double loan at Swansea and Coventry only yielded 4 goals from 31 games.

He never looked especially promising whenever he was given first-team minutes. Nothing like as impressive as Ferguson.
