I am more concerned about Welbeck than looking for Fergsuon to shoot the lights out tbh. I really have never rated him. I just want "big 6" tears with Brighton in CL
Ohh f*** me what a goal ffs

If Talksport want to be taken seriously they need to ditch Goldstein. Apart from looking like some desperate Loaded magazine z lister (it is radio after all), he genuinely seems to know absolutely nothing about football. It's not even trolling, he's just clueless. Not sure he even likes the game.

Best thing - turn off and don’t listen. “Hatedom” is a big thing. If you want people to go away, don’t listen until they’re gone.
100% this. Crucial to manage physical load and even more so at his age, otherwise he’s likely to have a shortened career. Club/R DeZ doing exactly the right thing IMO.
I have said the same multiple times. Brighton have managed it well but I would still have wanted Evan to start the next 2-3
It probably shows why Brighton are falling short this year too. Wellbeck is a lower bottom half player in a top half team
Fact is a team good enough to beat Spurs was on the pitch and Brighton got robbed anyway.
Managing someones load involves stressing someone out at times too.
The problem starts when you play every single minute of every game at club level , in Europe and Internationally like Owen.
I don’t mind Evan not playing all the time even when fit enough play. The lad is 18 years old, we don’t want him to be burnt out by his late 20s, like Rooney, Owen and Walcott. Yes, we could do with a better striker than Welbeck, but he was very unlucky to have his goal ruled out yesterday and he generally always put in a good shift.
Disagree. Not sure how much you’ve watched Welbeck but you’re under rating him. Whilst Ferguson has greater potential, Welbeck is currently a better overall player and offers more to the team overall. Read RDZ’s comments after the Brentford game.
Both players are being managed perfectly at the moment, I wouldn’t have started Ferguson yesterday and I wouldn’t on Saturday against Chelsea either.

25 year old Evan Ferguson tucks away another PL goal. Shit, he’s only 18.
A special player.
A special player.

He's got all the skillz, and built like a brick shithouse @ 18. If we can hang onto him a few years we could have a new Leg end
Hope we do better in Europe than that!

A natural finisher at the highest level, a rarity.

At 18, it's ridiculous.
At 21, it would be ridiculous.
But 18, it's really ridiculous.
For perspective, Harry Kane was 20 in his first full season, scoring 3 in 10.
Ferguson could easily become one of the best strikers in the world.

Ward, Nelson (one season?), Zamora, Murray, Ferguson.
They don’t come along very often.

Alan Shearer scored 10 in a season when he was 18. (Okay, 5 in his first full season but still).
Just saying...

He's been one of the best things about this season.
At its outset I'd barely heard of him but now we have a young, effective, strong goalscorer who's cost us didly, and looks so comfortable at his age.
His development will save us a fortune. Fergie with Pedro, with Undav, Welbeck, as back ups, with the wing scoring threats of Mitoma, Solly, Ensico, and Adingra should provide a decent supply of goals for next season.
We have currently scored nearly 30 more goals than last season! Drink it in, and well played all.

7 points would be a respectable result from the group IMHO
