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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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...

Caicedo, Estupinan, and Mitoma make it to his TOTS! 🍺 The others are 3 from Man City, 3 from Newcastle, 1 each from Liverpool and Arsenal.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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...
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.
It is reported that Lallana will not be able to play for another two weeks at least.

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.
