    [Albion] Mercurial, majestic, magnificent Mitoma [20/10/23: New deal signed]

    Japan vs. Peru Mitoma's goal ... and assist. Lovely way to finish his 22/23 season 👏

    [Albion] "It’s like the old Billy Gilmour we’ve got back."

    I think BG is better a passer than Macca. His decision making is faster and more creative, and produces nice attacking threat. Ball carrying and press resistance are what he might lack compared with Macca. Anyway he's still 22 and has enough time ahead of him to develop. Can't wait to see what...

    [Albion] De Zerbi interview on Bobo TV: "no team can change my mind"

    Thank you very much for the great work! "play without worries and have the possibility to make mistakes, knowing that the coach is an ally of his. Then you make a mistake and you'll make another but slowly you'll learn; ... you have to be that same kid from Rosario, not a guy who stops to...

    [Albion] Player of the Season - male and female

    I suspect that votes from Japan and other asian countries will be weighted low as there would be "too much" Mitoma votes. Anyways mine goes for Pascal.

    [Albion] Albion > PSG, Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Ajax (plus Chelsea and Palace, obvs)

    That's fantastic and good to see. Well I know the index is systematically computed by some statistical methods but I am not confident that Albion can have more wins than losses against many of those teans below in, say, 100 head-to-head meetings. Are there league premiums or something? Maybe I...

    [Albion] Buzz's Boot Room Quiz: Barbs v Bloom

    Quality content but poor performance from both sides tbh :ROFLMAO:

    [Albion] BHAFC Player of the Season 2022/23 – the NSC vote

    Gross for me. Without his consistency and versatility, without a proper right full-back we couldn't have achieved EL. There were occations he played like three positions in a single game which is just unbelievable. Really underrepresented hero.

    [Football] Ref’s performance today

    Japanese fans these days are saying like "Mitoma should learn how to go down correctly from Mac Allister or Enciso!" :rolleyes: I believe that most of the time it is his speed and resulting inertia that make him fall down easily, and this is exploited by opponents. Also DFs have learned he is...

    [Albion] Levi Colwill

    Thank you for the explanation! I now better understand why there are that much emotional reactions. Hope the clubs can find a solution that benefits all parties.

    [Albion] Levi Colwill

    Chelsea supporters seem to be really really upset by Colwill's interview and his tweet. As a Japanese I don't get all those "you can't do this to your parent club" thing. Is a player from your academy that special? Also he's just celebrating our EL qualification not their loss. And he's just a...

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    Actually he used to play a bit more centrally in Argentina (top fig) than at Brighton (bottom fig). And he seemed to play more inside than previous games today. Maybe he prefers faster, transitional attacking style inside the pitch to slower build up where he stays put wide?

    [Albion] Will Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra be in the first 11 next season?

    I expect Adingra (and sometimes Pedro) will provide very good rotating options for Mitoma and March. I believe Mitoma's poor finishing these days are not unrelated to the fact that he's been playing 90 minutes every three or four days. Also think March's injury was due to overwork.

    [Albion] Inside the changing room yesterday

    Well where's Mitoma who has to be sitting next to Caicedo? :rolleyes: Maybe went to the bathroom at the wrong time? lol

    [Albion] Can we talk about Sanchez ?

    I'm very sad. His Brighton career should not have ended this way. Possibly, RDZ could have done better managing Sanchez's expectations, as RDZ is much older? But as everyone says as a professional footballer Sanchez's behavior is unacceptable. More so when we think of Steele who kept warming...

    [Albion] Did RDZ just secretly confirm Mitoma not going anywhere in the summer?

    Considering Mitoma's age, his price may go down if he stays another full season. Is this summer the best time to sell him businesswise? But I don't know if we can cope without all Mitoma, Caicedo, and MacAllister. It would not be the "right time" in this regard.

    [Albion] 3 massive home games

    It is reported that Lallana will not be able to play for another two weeks at least. https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2023/04/26/premier-league/1145011-why-roberto-de-zerbi-has-presented-facundo-buonanotte-an-opportunity.html

    [Albion] New contract for Evan Ferguson - signed until 2028

    The way he chose Brighton over Liverpool etc says a lot. Also, even if he stays until 2028 (which he obviously won't), he'll still be 23, so there's no rush.
