although according to the Watford forums, Brighton were poor, and Watford were just worse.
Why would you give a contract for three quarters of a year?It's all been said really but he was that good today I feel I must add to the praise! So aggressive/tenacious in his closing down and tackling, reads the game so well to step in at the right moments and his passing is so consistent. I remember him giving the ball away once today and that was a slightly ambitious pass to calderon that their left back intercepted (hardly the biggest crime in the world!). His performance today was stunning, new 3/4 year deal please Mr Bloom!
Bridcutt a cut above today, one tackle in the box in the second half was timed to perfection. Could easily have been a pen if he had got it wrong.
In Liam Bridcutt they possessed the game's most complete performer. Small in stature, he sat in front of the visiting back four and cleaned up every loose ball, turning defence into attack with simple passes and wonderful vision.
