villa4europe Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 They badly need a goalscorer, someone who can get goals that can snatch wins, a top team can't have welbeck up top and I'm not sure Ferguson has pushed on this season, proper pacey winger would help too As it is to me the passing looks too much, they're not setting traps let alone trying to spring them they're just passing and passing and passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Just now, Keyblade said: What, after 6 games? Yeah, they were flying high and looking good. Good enough for Chelsea to nab their manager. De zerbi comes in and carries it on, largely the same players and style. Or am I wrong and De Zerbi transformed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, they've gone from being a good team to being a good team The argument would be that they've lost some of their better players and continued to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've looked good in multiple periods under Potter, but they'd always lacked cutting edge and ultimately finished bottom half. I didn't expect that season to go any different. Lest we forget our famous Cazoo Derby where we were once joint top with Everton after a similar number of games. De Zerbi had them scoring for fun (not just topping the xG charts) and finished 6th + got them to an FA Cup semi. I'd say he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 What happened to Fati? Can remember the fuss over him last summer and how he was a big signing (with jealous eyes on him) and I've not heard of him since They signed the dortmund guy last summer too who was a misstep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Dahoud would be a good signing given their experience but they shipped him out to the Stuttgart on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Brighton's results since February are bottom of the league worthy. 1 win in 7 league games (soon to be 1 in 8.) 3 wins in 14 league games in 2024.

He has to give something more because it's not enough what he's doing." De Zerbi about Fati, 3 weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Just scanning through results elsewhere and happened across the Roma bench… and what a bench it would have to be to house all 16(!) substitutes That can’t be right, surely? Tammy in amongst it and a certain Keinan on the Udinese bench too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Not a fat lot in that, Gvardiol is the wrong side, his hand is on his back but it's not that much of a push, he's going down before the legs contact But again...

djdabush Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 He was absolutely looking for that, that's the sort of thing that people rightly criticise the likes of Kane for doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Amazing that Foden can kick a defender and win a freekick that leads to a goal but Brighton couldn't buy a penalty off the officials tonight even when the games dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 50 minutes ago, stewiek2 said: They'll wank over Foden at half time but has he been that good? Given a free kick when he slipped and was never a free kick. The free kick took a deflection and his second was Brighton fannying about at the back. I hate the bloke, but for as long as he keeps scoring, it's difficult to call the ratty little chav out. He's slowly becoming his own type of player, a natural finisher, out wide, not particularly tricky, but when he's on form he's a nightmare to play against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted April 25 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25 Tiny thing I know but shirt pull by Beleta kid is a yellow card with no hesitation. Earlier same shirt pull from Ake, and becos ref waved played on he was never booked. Small advantages but it adds up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
