[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Solid at the back]

March is the worst of the three for me. He is the most frustrating player I have ever seen play for the Albion. He had a lot of potential but has never come even close to reaching it and never does anything of note, slows down every attack.

Is also very predictable and never looks up when he crosses

Anyone know if there's radio commentary? 5 live doing the Palace game.

Stephens is a decent PL midfielder. People would like him if he came from some exotic nation and did stepovers but he wouldnt be any better. Good ball winner and the team generally got more possession with him on the pitch.

Bit of a hyperbole but in terms of what he could've been compared to what he has ended up being, he's not far off.

Not so concerned about Solly. Still hoping he will come good. More worried about the Stephens/Propper combination. That hasn’t been so good in recent times. Really hope I’m proved wrong.

Not sure who I would vote for as most frustrating ever, but subsequent to that Derby game, Abdul Razak would be right up there. So much potential.

Would agree he's up there, I was convinced he was gonna be a world beater after his debut.

I predicted 8 of those correctly

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I wanted Yves to play.

Nice use of the word EVER.

It’s as though Peter Smith never existed

Yeah, but Stephens AND Propper in the middle of the park together. That's what many are questioning.

 

[Reddleman]

Is it 3-5-2? The only really surprise for me is no Bissouma, it must be fitness related as he’s been a starter since the restart.

Mooy looked exhausted last time out so no surprise.

Delighted to see Murray!

I'd be happy with a 0-0 and last on MOTD tonight.

Boss far better. Hopefully Stephens will be moved on at the end of this season.

Does anyone else think that sometimes, Potter picks the team he wants to finish the match with first working out his ideal formation for sometime in the second half with some fresh legs?

Southampton finished very well against Man Utd so would we really want our Stephens & Murrays on the pitch at the end?

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

so i guess looking at the player lottery on the pitch tonight nobody got that line-up?

 

[Icy Gull]

Surprised to see Propper start. Not so much Stephens as he did OK when he came on against City. Bissouma was all over the place imo.

I am no March fan but let’s see how he goes tonight

I used to love Smith - that carefree attitude. That hair!!

 

[sparkie]

Time to roll our sleaves up and get the job finished.

 

[saafend_seagull]

It’s our best team, except bissouma for propper and izquierdo for March (obviously he won’t be playing again for us though)

Until he turned up at Gillingham one day with it in a plastic bag! Great lad Smithy.
