I have seen him play against Iranian teams in the Asian Champions League. Would be very surprised if this is true. He's definitely one of the best if not the best Striker currently playing for an Asian team, but certainly not EPL level. Doesn't have the pace or the intelligence required. Also...

I don't understand how anyone can watch that, and still think Connolly has any business playing in the Premier League. At least with Maupay's misses, half of them can be chalked up to bad luck/great defensive positioning... Connolly is just bad at finding the net.

This is turning out to be an Eddie Howe situation (youngish English coach who the media is obsessed with), and might just end up with the team sleep walking into the Championship. The squad is regressing and Potter is too stubborn to acknowledge that he doesn't have the right players to deploy...

They were okay. The gave Brighton plenty of space to shoot from outside of the box and put in crosses, but the boys failed to capitalize on that. This was definitely more a Brighton playing crap, rather than Newport playing exceptional.

I've watched him a few times against Charleroi and Gent in the past two seasons.

It's obvious that most players don't believe in the system. Potter needs to switch things up.

I've watched him in the Belgian league a couple of times the last two seasons (against different Iranian players), and he isn't going to be the saviour some people think he is. A back up at the EPL level at best.

I wonder how Ali J can be blamed for this mess.

This sucks man. :( As an Iranian who moved to the UK around the same time as Alireza and started following Brighton because of him, I grew to liking the team as a whole (who doesn't like an underdog) and watched almost every match since 2018, even those which Alireza was injured for. I even got...

Not sure what's so funny about those options. Carlos Q managed some of the world's biggest clubs, and did very well with Iran given the limited resources available to him. The football won't be attractive, but he will get results. Pearson has experience at this levelz and started off well with...

Carlos Queiroz Or Nigel Pearson

With Trossard it's laziness. Most matches he looks like he's going for a midday stroll in a park. Same goes for Welbeck to a lesser degree. For Maupay, it's a combination of not being that good to begin with and a lack of confidence.

Bissouma and Webster 7 Maupay, Dunk, Trossard 5 White 4 The rest 6. Maupay's goal doesn't make up for poor performance otherwise. Especially when it's put in the context of his poor form recently.

Funny that the main take away for some from a sloppy match where both sides just booted the ball, where for the seconds game in the row Welbeck missed a great chance, where Brighton failed to get three crucial points against an inferior team, is that Alireza is a waste of money and a shit...

38 this season will definitely be much more difficult than the past two. Fulham and West brom are obviously trash and will go down, but the competition for that 18th spot is pretty tough.

If after matchday 17, Brighton is in the relegation zone. I much prefer Potter's football to Hughton, but considering the quality of the squad compared to Fulham, West Brom, Burnley and dare I say Sheffield, there's really no excuse for Brighton to be in the relegation zone at that point of the...

Interestingly enough in the comment section of this new on reddit, you can see fans from previously teams/league he played for say that his attitude issues aren't new. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/jmtxp0/brighton_striker_neal_maupay_dropped_against/ Not a good sign.
