Pascal Gross is looking after it, you'll have to ask him nicely. Before handing it over he may remind you that he has assisted 14 of Brighton's 24 goals this season.

Help us with this, because i'm trying to think of the assists he has got.

I'm happy to count Webster v Arsenal and Maupay v Spurs, (though many wouldn't). He was involved in a Dacoure OG against Watford.

Trying to think whether there are any others?

Not having a pop you understand.

I just don't think all his creation has come to that much. A lot of it I will guess is terrific dead ball delivery which we (mostly Dunky) haven't done as well with as we should.

Mooy bawled out Bissouma on a couple of occasions last night as he took on the long shot instead of sliding the ball to Mooy, who was in space. That's a bit of a habit Biss has and I'm not sure that will endear him to Potter. Ring rusty but a barnstorming performance, but I think he'll go back to the bench.

Duffers in for Websy...not because Websy isn't doing ok enough, but because Dunkers seems unable to score from a corner...but we can't drop the skip. Duffers. will. score. from. a. corner.

Just a reminder folks:

After Week 17: Most chances created: Premier League 2019/20

1. Kevin De Bruyne: 62 chances created (1316 minutes)
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold: 52 chances created (1483 minutes)
3. James Maddison: 43 chances created (1414 minutes)
4. Pascal Gross: 42 chances created (1109 minutes)

Do we know who/which committee decides that a moment in the game was 'a chance'. Genuine question. I mean, something may be a chance for a Salah, or an Aguero, that clearly would not be a chance for another player.

Webster has scored twice from a corner this season...

Think Stephens will be back as feel he will be more suited to the Sheffield utd physical game which I think will be their way of stopping us playing. They will be looking to keep their run going and certainly won't be afraid of us just like they showed against liverpool

Have you actually watched Sheff Utd play this year?

Warnock doesn't manage them any more, they are the furthest thing from a physical team. They play free flowing, attractive football.

It should be one the games of the season.

Those stats come from the Premier League's website, so whilst subjective they're as near to the truth as it gets. Of the 42 chances created he gets relatively few goal assists because our strikers aren't Mane, Salah or Kane. If he was doing the same thing in one of the top sides he'd have assists in double figures and be lauded.

It is brilliant to see him bouncing back under Potter and - for me - the midfield quartet of Mooy, Gross, Propper and Stephens picks itself. If fit and available I'd start those four every time.

Hopefully they will miss the suspended John Fleck in midfield.

Jesus wept I was expecting some down right idiotic replies, but running this up the flag pole 2 posts in sets a seriously high benchmark.


Someone's going to have to pick 2 full backs to beat that.

the shotgun is loaded and both barrels are pointing at us, we need to run it up the flagpole and see who salutes;






potter will be manager

From my understanding potter had a tactic last year v Sheffield Utd which appeared to work ref the over loading CBs. No idea what it was mind.
So I’ll go with in a 4-2-2-1-1 formation
