Potter is getting so much out of Brighton . So well coached. Looking at the squad full of steady players bar odd stand outs(Lamptey) it reminds me of our time under Poch . We had Kane who was the X factor.

I do wonder how he’d do with a team of egos . Seen him linked with United. Don’t think it would work as well.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Would be interesting to see how they'd do if they had one or two decent forwards.

And GET INNN!! Great header, although poor defending from Chelsea

Potter is just a top manager

 

[djp82]

11 points behind chelsea with 5 games in hand if this stays the same

I’d be shocked if we get anything at Brighton think they’ll run us ragged. Leicester and Burnley maybe. Rather have points on the board than games in hand.

Don't think Pogba or Ronaldo would buy into it, although they probably won't be there next season

We'd need to get a draw against Chelsea too

Exactly that or sulky Bruno.

The full backs stand out high energy .Ours are a far cry from the days of Rose and Walker flying up the line. Hope Sess comes good

I don’t think you can ever describe the squad Poch had in our peak as steady players + Kane could you?!


Hugo, Rose, Walker, Davies, Trippier, Toby, Jan, Dembele, Dier, Wanyama, Dele, Eriksen, Kane and Son.

that’s 14 absolutely top drawer players there. Beyond that the drop off was huge, but that immediate core of players, my GHod!

Have we won there in the league?

No I suppose not . But likes of Dier,Rose, Dele have not looked the same as under Poch. Was more he gets a lot out of his players. The collective over individual talent

 

[djp82]

Think so . Did Bale not net a winner there last season ? And at home ? Or is my memory bad.

One I won’t ever forget is that game there that was nail in coffin of Poch.

 

[MKSpur]

Just came here to say how much I like watching Brighton play and how Potter should get manager of the year just for keeping them up with wellbeck or maupay up top! Left back and Macallister showed some great touches tonight.

Bale didn’t score away from him or even turn up until his last game
We did win there though when they had Hughton in charge

Bravo Brighton

 

[Rorschach]

Brighton have a young striker on the bench named Evan Ferguson. My brother-in-law coached him and I've come up against him a few times. A talented young man with a bright future ahead of him. I could see him getting PL minutes next season.

Now that I think about it, he played against Chelsea already in preseason a few years back at 14 years old and amazingly didn't look out of place.

 

[AdamB]

Clearly but Chelsea's squad is so much deeper/better than ours than to even be able to think we could catch them with our games in hand is remarkable

Even if we lost to Chelsea, and drew a couple other games, we'd be 3 points behind them after 23 games

 

[Lilbaz]

Just keep our eyes on the leicester game.

 

[AdamB]

Tuchel surely must be coming under pressure. Might be lucky to be there next season

Not even good enough for Everton if you believe their fans.

 

[DubSpur]

Brighton were excellent, great coaching from Potter but they've also bought really well.
He wasn't playing tonight but Bissouma was a great buy, he'd immediately improve our midfield.

Everton would be a step down for him at this stage.
