duke313 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 People really believed Brighton could just keep selling their first team players 3very season and replace them with unknowns from the Peruvian 3rd division and they would still be as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems similar to Southampton a number of years back when they recruited brilliantly for a few seasons and sold players on for big profits but the supply line dried up eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been there Eventually the conveyor belt of talent winds up with nzogbia... I like Brighton, doing things the right way but in a wrong league Will be interesting to see what the sense of disappointment is, currently in 9th, that can't result in negativity, they're not there yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he lifts his foot back to start his shot, the Palace player clipped his foot. So when he starts his swing it isn't starting from where he thought it was, hence the air shot. It wasn't deliberate contact by the palace player but it 100% happened and causes the air shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 At this frame from the first front on angle.... If you play it back a couple of frames before, you see the foot shake as Ayew's shin clips the Brighton players leg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) He has, but nothing he could have done about the header. Doesn't look like Brighton are a threat this season. Edited December 21, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 9 hours ago, oishiiniku_uk said: Brighton averaging 1.5 points per game which is the same as it was under De Zerbi last season. We're it not for the great start under Potter I guess they wouldn't have qualified for Europe. 1.5 points per game is a pretty good achievement with all the players they sold in Summer and with Thursday night football on top. He seems like a pretty good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Zerbi is way superior to Potter. 46% win record compared to the overrated Potter 31% and is only 12 wins away from Potter total wins in less than half the games 2 of Potter 5 wins last season were against relegated teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird one isn't it, I've asked on another forum before and it's a mixture of war children being moved out of south London to their stomping ground and then made a bit fiesty by one of the managers doing something in the 70s But I stand by if the police let you play the game on a weeknight or later kick off then it's a soft Derby, you can't claim to be a big raucous fiery Derby if it's dark when you're kicking off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
