[Brighton] Is AK good enough for the prem or just a liability?

[symyjym]

Brilliant skillful player, but when you are that good the opposition just put 3 or 4 players on you. The only ways round this is to have 3 Knockeart type players, or get him to pass the ball earlier. Mazy runs from the halfway line are not as effective as mazy runs in and around the box where he should be winning freekicks and penalties. If he can get rid of the ball when he takes the 3 or 4 players out of the game they are less likely to hunt him in packs and it will free him more space. Matt Ritchie is a great player but he keeps it simple most of the time.

With the ball at his feet and running at pace at a retreating defence he is still a force to be reckoned with, unfortunately that happens less int the Premier League.

When things don't go his way and things don't come off then he sulks like a baby!

I think CH is becoming impatient with him - the die was cast with regards AKs questionable attitude when he offered out the lino in the first half of Barnet cup game - AK didn't reappear for second half as I imagine CH had given him a might rollicking.
