Weirdly he seemed to be playing deeper than Bissouma and Mwepu in the first half, Naylor commented on it too. Then again, the first half formation/line up might have actually been a weird fever dream.

This is a weird thread. If the title had been 'do you prefer chocolate or vanilla?' the posts would have made more sense.

I was there and thought he did well. Credit to Potter he made good substitutions who came on and made a difference too, particularly Lallana who seemed to lift the whole team. We missed Veltman in defence.

I think Potter got the formation wrong first half, but credit to him for changing it second half.
First half, looked like 4-1-4-1 to me, with Alzate DCM, Biss and Mwepu ahead of him, Solly wide right, Tross wide left.
Second half, we went to a back three with Gross RWB and Solly LWB, and Lallana pulling the strings.

From the club website:
“Graham Potter said, "Dan Burn is not definitely out, he's made really good progress, there's an outside chance of him being involved.
"Danny Welbeck and Steven Alzate are also doing well, but won't be involved in the game against Newcastle."

Yup. The way God said it though, it sounded like Welbeck is closer to comeback than Alzate.

Link? Adds fuel to the Gilmour story
Interview with the Standard director of football in Sudinfo. Behind paywall but accessable here:
"No recall has been requested for Philip (Zinckernagel) and Filippo (Melegoni). Brighton have come back for Steven Alzate because they are counting on him but we are confident that he will stay at Standard, where he is very happy."
The Argus have finally picked up on the story Swanny dug up 10 days ago.

Makes sense with Mwepu retired, Moder out until at least Easter and Lallana’s injury record.

I don’t believe so .
Nope, seems not. Might not have a recall clause or maybe he was allowed to decide for himself.
Agree. Think if it wasn't for his seemingly endless injury/sickness problems, he'd be a key player by now.
He's certainly been unlucky with injuries, and I'd like to have seen him play more for us - but I think our midfield is pretty hard to break into these days, which probably means tough luck for Alzate.
When is his contract up?
