[Albion] Billy Gilmour SINGED on a four-year contract

[Stumpy Tim]

MoTM for me too. Gross had a mare in the first half, so BG was practically alone. 99% pass completion rate today apparently

 

[Silverhatch]

He was outstanding today but he’s not yet a Caciedo replacement but could he grow into the role?

He is not and won’t ever be a Caicedo replacement. Moises great skill was to win those 30/70s and very, very few can do that.

 

[BrightonLoyal]

Outstanding today as he generally is when he’s been given the chance. Would love to see him have a run in the team now

 

[Rookie]

So so good. MoM by a distance in what was a great performance from everyone

 

[Pevenseagull]

At some point he'll score and I will need medical assistance.

I thought Pascal was below average today. It’s not often I say that..

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Gilmour was outstanding.

O/T I know, but how good were Dahoud and Lallana when they came on?
Silky.

 

[The Fits]

He would be absolutely outstanding with a destroyer next to him. He needs to be given the opportunity to focus on his passing and playmaking.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Growing in confidence game by game, looks totally happy on the ball.

Magnificent display.

A bit below par is not a ‘mare’.

 

[dstanman]

He is always wanting the ball and telling others where to play it

 

[slimes]

65% caciedo, 35% alexis... happy

 

[ManOfSussex]

Wee Billy Gilmour is looking even better now than he did in his MOTM performance at Wembley when Scotland beat England in their famous 0-0 victory a couple of years ago.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Cracking footballer


If he was a cricketer he'd be Mark Wood.

 

[durrington gull]

Let’s hope he gets a decent run in the team and not dropped

 

[GT49er]

He is not and won’t ever be a Caicedo replacement. Moises great skill was to win those 30/70s and very, very few can do that.

Yes. When will people actually start to realise that there isn't going to be a like-for-like Caicedo replacement? We will just have to learn to play slightly differently.

 

[warmleyseagull]

He was outstanding today but he’s not yet a Caciedo replacement but could he grow into the role?

No, he isn't tall enough to have MC like telescopic legs. MC is a one-off, and we should stop talking about replacing exactly L for L. A DM will be signed, but will have different attributes.

 

[raymondo]

Yes. When will people actually start to realise that there isn't going to be a like-for-like Caicedo replacement? We will just have to learn to play slightly differently.

Yes, and RDZ said as much in his presser... that we'd have to take fewer risks in passing as we're now at greater risk of counter attack if we lose the ball

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Let’s hope he gets a decent run in the team and not dropped

I think we all need to recognise that there is no longer a first XI - it’s a squad and horses for courses and rotation to ensure everyone gets a break and can seamlessly drop into the starting XI, ensuring that players aren’t playing with injury.
Having said that, he’s a tremendous asset. I hope Chelsea are choking on his success with us.

 

[The Wizard]

Gilmour alongside a destroyer type like Caicedo/Biss has great potential, every slight weakness a destroyer type has Billy has got nailed and vice versa.

The coaching involved is quite remarkable, every player seems to have that distinct belief when they play under RDZ, so many players have transformed mentality wise since he took over.
