[Albion] Diego Gomez

[1066familyman]

And Hinsh did well.

If we can keep some players fit, we all of a sudden have options

Tbh, I'd temporarily forgotten about Hinsh in this context, as he's just so good as a utility player. Quality, wherever he plays

 

[BrightonLoyal]

Thought he looked great when he came on, exciting one to watch for the rest of the season

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

He did do well.

I thought we had four very good, very, very young centre midfielders on the pitch tonight. Really promising for the future.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

21, really?

 

[Gabbiano]

With them all fit and on form, our midfield could be fantastic.

Baleba, Gomez, Hinsh and then Ayari, O'Riley and Wieffer clearly have something although inconsistent.

Young players are inconsistent, and injuries have hit this area hard. But there's so much potential there.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Got really stuck in and won a few loose balls in the time he was on. Very comfortable. Looked skillful too

 

[maidstoneseagull]

Impressive today, very assured

 

[Seasider78]

Really impressive performance

And Milner

 

[Oh_aye]

Bit nervous about him.coming on but he really changed the game when we looked vulnerable. Big, quick, kept winning the ball back and supporting attacks. Very nice.

 

[GrossTurn]

Looked very much a PL league player in terms of his physicality, and just being up with the pace of the game.

These are normally the big question marks we have over central midfielders stepping up from inferior leagues. Don’t think we have anything to be worried about on that front. Looks MORE than equipped for the rigours of the PL.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

He had a couple of touches tonight that were just sumptuous.

 

[Greenbag50]

Nonsense.

I thought he was incredible tonight. Got to everything, nice passing, attacking movement, strong defensively. A beast!

Looks like a fantastic signing!

Yup, agree….. looked good when he came on….
Humble pie and all that

I think what we need is two players to have a run of games together and form a really good partnership. Baleba and one other.

Until we get that, we are really going to struggle for consistency.

Hürzeler started with Milner whom I thought had a really good run of games before he got crocked. But in terms of the other 5, it’s a really tough decision and a headache for the manager with Gomez making a very credible claim to start on Friday.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Just said in the MOTM thread that I thought he was very impressive when he came on. Had the better of Cole Palmer every time they challenged each other. Also got himself into a couple of good positions defensively which was great to see. Very excited to see more of him.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Promising start at Forest, great tonight…..

 

[dazzer6666]

These are a good player

 

[trueblue]

Made it look so easy at a key time in the game. Our midfield options will be terrific if we can keep Baleba beyond the summer too.

Exactly Fab’s major problem. Has had no chance to have a settled starting midfield due to injuries.

Looked the part
