tbh I dont know how gross will get into our 11 as it seems like potter likes to play with a lot of pace up top, also very impressed with Dan burn

I too thought Burn was great. He seemed to get better in the second half or perhaps it just seemed that way as he had more of the ball.

Encouraging display.

Trossard looking good again, loving him and March on the left.
Good turn and finish from Locadia.
Burn did well, Duffy and Dunk adapting well to a 3.
Midfield a concern, Propper very clumsy and some awful touches. Alzate seemed nervous and played like it.

 

[Easy 10]

a lot of free kicks went astray, did we hit the first man at all?

We scored from two of them.

 

[Megazone]

No just a thousand times no.

Can you give me one positive from his 2nd half performance?

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

It's only Valencia we are playing

I see what you did there

 

[Marxo]

Sounds promising, can't wait to see a game.

 

[Dutch]

Well that was good. Enjoyable to watch. Attacking intent. Moving the ball well. Wing backs were more prominent 2nd half. A good understanding of the formation. We were really rather flexible 2nd half. The 3 central defenders looked solid against good opposition. Trossard was instrumental and looks a great signing. March played well. It's the first time I've seen Alzate, looked tidy. Roll on Valencia.

Brighton Head of Recruitment apparently watching our friendly vs Atalanta.

probably forgotten he's at Brighton now !

 

[Napper]

burn very good .

Can easy see him CB or comfortable at LB . Better on ball than had remembered . Positive

 

[Sorrel]

That seems ok; now for a step up in quality next week.

 

[burnee54]

Dunk is really putting himself about

Yeah he keeps swapping shirts with Duffy according to the commentator.

He retained the ball well......do you want to put it to a VOTE? Just ask others.....he did nothing wrong.........NOTHING

 

[Megazone]

Alzate seemed nervous and played like it.

agreed, but he did show some physical promise battling with bigger players for loose balls. He does look promising.

 

[SollysLeftFoot]

Going forward we looked good, not so sure on our midfield but Trossard and Locadia stood out for me. I was particularly impressed with Locadia’s work rate.

He's trolling, considering his pick of the bunch is Propper, who was our worst player on the pitch throughout.

Is he PALACE?

I cannot understand the view that Burn had a good game. I thought that against a very poor championship side he was adequate but slow and clumsy and was fortunate to get plenty of space on the left to get forward which he wont get in The Premier. Very impressed with Locadia and Trossard but disappointed with Alzate after all the hype he didnt get into the game.

 

[Easy 10]

As did Andone and Solly. We were also introduced to "Lucas Dunk".

Dreadful commentator.

 

[Peter Grummit]

First pre-season action I've watched and I'm encouraged.

Massive health warning that I'm not getting carried away and Brum looked very ordinary. They gave us lots of space to play and in that sense it was nothing like a PL game.

However, I was impressed by the understandings that Potter has already built up between players, with a nice fluidity in interchanging positions and playing the ball into the channels and around the corner at a much quicker tempo than we have been used to. Locadia, Trossard, March and Montoya all looked to be relishing the freedom that Potter has given them. Liked the way we pressed and looked fitter than Brum, despite them needing to be a week ahead of us pre-season. Whether we can realistically play with that freedom in the PL remains to be seen. There will be more goals and more entertainment than last year. Low bar, mind.

The commentator was a clueless dick who hadn’t done his homework on the Albion
