[Albion] Jakub Moder

[dwayne]

Moder did alright.

He’s got a problem, that I don’t think he’ll ever really score goals or get many assists, he’ll never make barnstorming runs or crunching tackles. He’ll never cross like Gross, nor show incredible touch like Lallana. He’ll never hit booming diagonals, he’ll never intimidate an opponent

His game his based around quick short passing. Around first time little pokes and prod to get him out a tight spot and get us up the pitch. He finds space between the lines impressively.

The question is. Is this enough?

Great summary.

This is partly why I think it’s worth pursuing with him as a defensive midfielder in a double pivot. He’s the most physically imposing midfielder we have, can cover lot of ground and looks like he’ll win the majority of his tackles/duels. With some work on his positional play and ability to read/intercept passes, he could be a great option there.

 

[JBizzle]

Sounds like a De Zerbi CM.

I thought it sounded like Gilmour

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

He's clearly class and seems to be recovering well. Could be a new Dale Stephens for us.

I’m out.

I like him and I believe he is an EPL top 10 player but I can’t understand where he fits into Brighton 24/25?

Strange timing after today?

Thought he did really well and one of the few performances to get the crowd going. And we have no idea how Brighton 24/25 will look or who will be in charge even.

Likewise I thought he had a good game today

This. That foul side, thought he did some excellent work.

 

[Home and Away]

He has some of that physical presence that we've lacked all season.

 

[Weststander]

We were recently told on nsc that Moder will always be rubbish.

I get that. But what position is he meant to be playing? I don’t think he is top level at the advanced midfielder playmaker or good enough for that deep lying role either. But he essentially got us the win today.

He did a lot right today but we only had 10 shots on goal. He didn’t play the sort of through balls we need in that position or get any good shots off. It’s not that he is not good enough, it’s that in an RDZ formation, I just can’t see where he’ll thrive?

In a game we won by playing in a completely ‘non-RDZ’ way.

He was a whisker away from scoring today?
I thought he was a real positive, covered lots of ground, very controlled and happy to mix it up physically.

So you don’t think we tried to maintain possession and play out from the back?

Were Caicedo and Bissouma great in those facets?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Sexier version of Davy P, despite having worse hair..

 

[Stat Brother]

Just confirmation bias - nothing more.

Nobody knows how Moder will pan out.
But the need to be first right and never wrong in front of a faceless internet community is strong.

 

[el punal]

We were recently told on nsc that Moder will always be rubbish.

By the same people that said the same thing about Pascal Gross and Solly March?

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

I'm in. Might even buy a skoda.
