[Skaville]

Also, Andone was mom.

He was brilliant, but Bisouma will single handedly double sales of tequila in Brighton this Christmas

 

[FatSuperman]

Duffy - 5 - marked up a point for needless head butting a Palace player

Love that

 

[dazzer6666]

All 10s except Duffy (3), Bissouma (11 - extra point for the new dance in front of the West as he left the pitch) and Andone (11).....we’ve got another star striker, and one that works his absolute nuts off.

 

[The Tactician]

Ryan 7 Didn't have a save to make, distribution good.
Montoya 6.5 Little shaky late in the second half. Decent overall though.
Duffy 3 Almost rating N/A, idiotic decision, but he gets +3 for headbutting a Palace player.
Dunk 8.5 Strong, great leadership.
Bernardo 8 Another good showing.
March 9 Brilliant in defence, effective and smart in attack. ANOTHER great delivery for the goal.
Propper 7.5 Good
Bissouma 8 Very good
Izquierdo 7 Threatened early, injury hampered him.
Gross 6 Tidy, but evening cut short.
Murray 7 Good pen, looked sharp. Same as Gross.

Subs:
Balogun 8 Did everything right apart from the pen, wasn't lying when he said he liked to be aggressive and go for the ball.
Knockaert 7.5 Good skill, worked well defensively.
Andone 9.5 Oh my, he looks a player. Fantastic, impeccable, magnificent.

From the BBC website

Brighton produced one of the best Premier League performances of the season to sweep aside Crystal Palace despite playing for 62 minutes with only 10 men.

Moments after the Seagulls went 1-0 up through Glenn Murray's spot-kick, defender Shane Duffy was sent off for thrusting his head at Patrick van Aanholt after referee Kevin Friend had turned down a second penalty appeal.

Playmaker Pascal Gross was immediately replaced by the more defensive-minded Leon Balogun, and the substitute's first touch was a stunning strike to double the home side's lead.

The best was yet to come for the hosts, as Florin Andone ran 40 yards down the left to fire in the third goal in first-half stoppage time. The Romanian forward had only been on the pitch for 14 minutes, having replaced the injured Murray.

Home goalkeeper Mat Ryan had little to do until the 81st minute, when he was beaten by Luka Milivojevic's penalty.

Chris Hughton's side managed to subdue Palace's attack in the remaining minutes to record a memorable win.

 

[blue-shifted]

Ryan 7 - Fell on the ball nicely from time to time
Montoya 8 - Not faultless in defence, but solid in possession
Bernardo 8 - Clearly a good footballer and indisputably first choice left back
Dunk 9 - MOM- Ignored the foul jibes from the Palace supporting pigs. Headed everything, cleared everything, then deserved his moment of celebration at the end
Duffy 4 - Sorry. That was bloody ridiculous. Nowhere near the nose which Van Asshole held as he went down. Shane has used up some of the (large amount of) credit he has with us
Propper 8 - Classy, languid, stylish .. and that's just his beard.
Bissouma 9 - Embodies this new thrusting, dynamic, counter attacking Brighton team who are evolving. Battled and danced brilliantly
March 7 - Didn't stand out as much as some, but very solid performance. A manager's performance you might say
Izquierdo 5 - No, he's not quite right this season. Hope he's back soon though, as we're short of wing options without him
Gross 6 - Hope Shane apologised to him. Didn't influence that much whilst on the pitch
Murray 6 - Did alright. He's racking up the goals. He will be aware that this was a changing of the guard performance and when he is back from injury, the team style of play may well have moved on

Balogun 5 - Actually did alright, but an utterly preposterous decision to dive in to Zaha, so i'm docking him 3 marks. If it were a better team, he's have let them back in the game
Knocky 8 - Brilliant, what a player to come off the bench. Worked and worked and showed his skills. Knocky gets it
Andone 8 - One of the best goals i've seen us score at the Amex. Ran and ran

 

[the right footed denilson]

Propper 7.5 Good

I thought Propper was fantastic. He's so assured.

Nope, penalty was debatable if you watch it from all the angles, and that finish- no other CB at the club could do that.

Really? Thought it was pretty stonewall to me.

 

[aolstudios]

I thought Propper was fantastic. He's so assured.

We underrate Davy because he makes it look so easy.
Absolute class, always

 

[aolstudios]

Beer may've been taken but here goes...
Andone - 12
Duffy - 11 - for making it interesting & creating the mood.
Everyone else - 10
Sorted

Ryan 10 A Masterclass in time wasting
Montoya 10 Solid

Dunk 10 Strong, calm a real captains performance

March 10 Finally growing into a PL quality player
Propper 10 Impressive
Bissouma 10 and for the dance A-MAZ-ING
