Their build up play is lovely to watch but when you’ve got the likes of Maupay up front you know you’re gonna struggle for goals
Big IF!!
I thought Lukaku was going to be the cherry on top for Chelsea, but I'm starting to think they've made a mistake in buying him.
Certainly a mistake for £100m. Might do a decent job though in certain matches.
The thing that shocked the bollocks off me was the stat that appeared earlier in the season about how little pressing he does.
Table says otherwise. This Brighton love fest is a joke.
He's not playing in a truly average league any longer.
Behave. They play football we can only dream of currently. They don't always get the results they deserve, but the football they play every week considering their net spend every season is superb.
Don't know how he hasn't got an England cap yet. He's head and shoulders above Maguire. Like Ward-Prowse, who he plays for clearly goes against him. Him and Stones would be a classy combination.
They're arguably the smallest club in the league. Only five other clubs have a smaller wage budget. They've spent a bit of money to try and change their squad from championship to PL level, but nothing major at all.
We're not their comparison point, just like you can't really compare us to where City are in the table due to the gap in resources. Brighton play entertaining, very well coached football and are doing well in terms of results compared to those with similar budgets.
Ward Prowse is a fucking ordinary footballer, no better than Winks. Great at set pieces though.
Comparing them to clubs like Burnley, Southampton or at a push Leeds is far more fair. As you say, they play better football than us because they're a better unit, we just have better individuals across most of the pitch, and superior depth. Hence why even some of our squad players will be better paid than our stars.
Potter is a fantastic coach. Never know whether that translates to a top coach at an 'elite' side, but at the levels he's managed at he has stamped an identity on every side and it's one the fans love.
They went toe to toe with Chelsea and probably should have won the match
We were utterly pathetic in both games and will very likely do the exact same thing this weekend
Igula
doesn't watch football. At best he plays FIFA.
Wrong on both parts/.
Do you think he should go straight in after Southgate? Bit of an old cliche but I'd like for him to go and win a few things before the England job ( inb4 what has Gareth won haha).
Did he (Potter) really turn us down and say he is holding out for a bigger job? I suspect that was media bullshit
