Fantastic interview with Pascal in The Athletic yesterday. "My game in my words", an interview with Liam Tharme, one of the Athletic's tactical writers.
Lots of tactical diagrams and videos to demonstrate the key points. Its not really about Brighton, more about Pascal's brilliant tactical mind.
I assume for copywrite reasons, I can't copy and paste a link to here, but well worth seaching for the article, if you have access to the Athletic.
Apparently over 4000 playes have played in the Prem since it started and only 59 have set up more goals than our Pascal!
Agreed. I meant to come on here and say the same. Brilliant piece.

I really like Liam Tharme too and not just because he's an Albion fan! His articles and contributions to podcasts are superb.

Was it just me or did he not have quite an off day today?

Scheiße passiert.

He is allowed the odd one after the effort he puts in is he not?
Yes. Yes he is.

And there's the rub. I think we have decent players. We have some superstars missing. And the knock on effect could be (hypothesis) that the effectiveness drops across the piece. You can't spray passes if the receivers are not quite where they should be.

It is what it is :thumbsup:

Interesting buddy - I thought he kept things ticking in tough circumstances and his cameo in the corner at the end was lovely…

We clearly missed Gilmour / Caicedo / Mac big time today. Although Baleba and Moder played well, we clearly lacked that ball winner and there was too much space.

My perception of reality is not always aligned with the actualité. ??? :wink:

I think he could do with a rest, he’s been tremendous for so long but today looked a bit like he could have done with the day off.

That’s what I thought…….kind of controlled things without any flair, but without any major errors either. Took a lot of simple options which was probably the right decision. How he managed yet another full 90 is incredible, he’s a machine.

Agreed, he was a bit off it today but what a season overall. Clearly PotS
Under absolutely no circumstances do I want Groß to be PotS as it will mean he will be sold in the summer. Last winners were Caicedo, Cucurella, Bissouma. Dunk is the last one to win it who hasn’t left!

we need tactical voting for the PotS this year and the obvious choice is Fati

Ah, but he's immune to that sort of nonsense: Pascal has been PotS for us before and, delightfully, he's still with us :thumbsup:
