Liam Bridcutt

although according to the Watford forums, Brighton were poor, and Watford were just worse.

 

[Sloe Joe]

His second half tackle was immense - the best I've ever seen.
MoM definately

glad someone noticed my humour

Spot on Empire. He was MOM today.

Really pleased to see him come back today with a masterclass in defence midfielding. He wasn't at his best against Bournemouth but has come back with that performance. Brilliant. Well done Bridcutt. Can we offer him a contract, please Gus and Tony?

 

[driller]

It's all been said really but he was that good today I feel I must add to the praise! So aggressive/tenacious in his closing down and tackling, reads the game so well to step in at the right moments and his passing is so consistent. I remember him giving the ball away once today and that was a slightly ambitious pass to calderon that their left back intercepted (hardly the biggest crime in the world!). His performance today was stunning, new 3/4 year deal please Mr Bloom!

Why would you give a contract for three quarters of a year?

I would think he deserves Atleast a three year deal

 

[seagullwedgee]

he was outstanding at bournemouth (in a weak team performance) so he is clearly in a very rich vein of form. We'll need to stay in form for the trip to ManUre on Feb 20th..........

Bridcutt a cut above today, one tackle in the box in the second half was timed to perfection. Could easily have been a pen if he had got it wrong.

There was another down near the corner flag down their end that was Premiership quality. Liam had a stormer today. Best I've ever seen Barnes play and Dicker shone too; the radio could have been raving about him because his performance today was so much better than recently.

 

[BensGrandad]

Bridcutt was immense to day and showed that he is well capable of holding his own in The Championship next season.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Brilliant performance. An extended contract beckons.

 

[ryans father]

Definitely MOM for me. he is getting better all the tima and is only 22!

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Today was the best i've seen of him in an Albion shirt, very good.

 

[Rowdey]

Ditto to all the above. With Navarro, we have someone who could naturally step into Kishishev's shoes whenever he decides to call it a day.

Talking of Kish, he was on the FA Cup Opta stat's top 10 for passing in the 3rd Round.

He was quality today.

PREVIEW: BRIDCUTT ON HIS RETURN TO THE VIC
Fri 28 Jan 2011
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION midfielder Liam Bridcutt admits he is relishing the prospect of returning to Vicarage Road ahead of the FA Cup Fourth Round clash on Saturday.

The 21-year-old spent two months with the Hornets on-loan from Chelsea during the 2008/09 season, making nine appearances in a spell at the club.

He said: "It's always good to play against a club that you have played for and it will be good to see a few of the boys, so I'm looking forward to it.

"All the loan spells I've had have been really good and Watford was one of the best loan spells that I've had and I really enjoyed it.

"I think they've been really good this season and from the games I've seen they are one of the strongest sides in the Championship at the moment.

Bridcutt, who joined the Seagulls on a permanent basis last summer, says the time spent with the League One table-toppers has been the most enjoyable of his career.

"It's a brilliant atmosphere here, all the boys are great.

"It's the happiest I've been in my career. I get on well with everyone, we play really good football, the manager is brilliant and I'm really happy to be here.

"Gus Poyet is a brilliant manager. All you've got to do is look at our results to see that.

"The style of football he wants us to play, he understands that we all want to play football and gives us the opportunity to go out and do that each week.

"We like to get the ball down and play, there's not one individual player, and we are a strong unit.

"Promotion is top of the list at the moment. Every game for us is a big game - we're hoping to get a result."

Not often I agree with The Holy Grail but

In Liam Bridcutt they possessed the game's most complete performer. Small in stature, he sat in front of the visiting back four and cleaned up every loose ball, turning defence into attack with simple passes and wonderful vision.

[BUTTERBALL]

We have got to learn to stop procrastinating when it comes to important players contracts. We can see he is quality. Bridcutt's deal needs to be sorted out a.s.a.p. otherwise we risk him being snapped up at the end of the season by someone else.

 

[philsussex]

Outstanding yesterday. Would love to see him signed up on a nice long contract.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Really hope he gets a long term contract. He was fantastic yesterday and definitely man of the match, although they were all great. Ironically, he only came to us because of Navarro's injury which seemed a disaster at the time. Again you have to give Gus credit for finding such a good replacement for Navarro so quickly.
