[Albion] Bong's performance today.

[dazzer6666]

Don’t get me wrong im a big fan of bong but him standing of defenders by 5 yards will get us into trouble

Eh ? He ‘stands off’ by a yard, and virtually never lets them past.

I bloody love 'billa 'Bong.

First saw him up at Ipswich and just LOVE him.

Where's [MENTION=12734]Mike Small[/MENTION]?

I'm here . Very good performance from Bong today. Still feel he struggles against better teams but of course who doesn't.

 

[Gwylan]

My MoM today.

And mine

Fantastic to see a man who was sometimes moaned on here in the championship, put in some big performances in maybe the best league in the world.

Very very short sighted. Nobody is arguing he's a bad player. But Suttner offers more to the team. That's my opinion, and it's not changing.

Bong was good today, and he's been good all season. He's solid defensively, he puts in his shift and does his best for the team and the club at all times. I will never be unhappy to see him in the shirt, and it's clear from social media posts that he's close with Schelotto and Izquierdo and Hughton has made multiple references to his impact off the pitch. Good luck to him all the time he's at the club.

Have to agree. Bong is a solid defender but offers pretty much nothing going forward. His crossing is very poor and he just seems to not want to pass to Izquierdo!!

I'm just really happy that for the first time in a fair few years (barring last year perhaps with Pocognoli), we have had depth in the LB position - i don't have any fears regarding either Bong or Suttner at LB.

Wayne Bridge.

Steven Ward.

 

[Is it PotG?]

MoM for me. Brilliant.

This is accurate. He is poor with the ball at his feet imo.

Wayne Bridge.

Steven Ward.

Some people just have short memories.

Gaetan Bong:

My player of the season so far, closely folowed by the rest of the squad who are performing wonders.

I love the fact that we appear to have a settled team now, each player has now claimed their spot in the starting line up on merit, not due to another players injury or suchlike.

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

He was a bit poor in the first half as Shaquiri had the better of him, but he was definitely improved in the 2nd half - as our entire performance was.

I'll admit when we signed him i was a tad sceptical as he hadn't pulled out any trees with Wigan, but he's been dependable and managed to form some great partnerships, firstly with Lua Lua and now Izzy. He's a great player.

We played better in the first half against Stoke

 

[Grombleton]

Wayne Bridge.

Steven Ward.

Their back ups being? I said depth. Not necessarily 1st pick.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Probably his best performance for us.

 

[Turkey]

I didn't realise in the Championship just how good he was defensively. Obviously we had a lot more of the ball last season, which highlighted his weakness, and got some people on his back, but he's been excellent as a defender which is his primary job.

I think we'd find it hard to find someone as solid as Bong has been but with very good attacking ability as those players cost mega money. For a side that knows it's going to have to defend a lot, he's ideal really.

I agree Gaeton Bong is my player of the season. Not his fault before that Murphy and to a lesser extent March, Skalak and Knockheart rarely made themselves available for a pass. Jose is the perfect partner as he often tracks back and makes himself visible rather than hiding behind the opposition player. As for passing forward and tackling Stephens managed no tackles and only 2 passes forward the whole of the second half but at least one was a goal.Neil McNab was called sideswipe, thinking of calling Dale back swipe.Would really like to see Gros play alongside Davy and put Locadia up top with Glenn. i also thought Anthony had his best game of the season on Saturday and long may that continue. I think our chairman has been brilliant but sorry cannot agree with his predicted 36 or 37 points will be enough.
I personally think 38 will be enough as long as our goal difference is not worse than 20.

So, as Izquierdo is available, why does he never pass to him?

Let's compare that against the much more forward thinking Davy Propper.
