Player ratings vs Newcastle

[goldstone]

Wow!!

Brez 8. Couple of great stops. Distribution needs to improve, but we now do not need another goalie.

Calderon 7. Made me nervous on a couple of occasions, but otherwise solid.

Greer 8. Rock solid

Dunk 9. Cool and calm. Passing sublime at times.

ElAbd 8. Surprised what a really good game he had. I though full back was not his position.

Buckley 9. What a player. His speed is amazing. Couple of misplaced passes, but a great goal.

Bridcutt 9. Superb game.

Sparrow 8. Great game. Presume he was subbed because of the booking?

JFC 7. Sometimes the other players failed to read his passes. And knocked off the ball a little too easily.

Barnes 8. Worked hard. Defended well. Improving again.

CMS 7. Needs to work on controlling the ball better. Too many times his first/second touch let him down. But great running as always.

Sub:
Navarro 8. Did nothing wrong and in well.

Harley 6. Needs to tackle more ferociously and stop pussy-footing around.


Crowd 10!!!

Harley 5 not the typical ginger footballer.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Agreed with Harley ratings. What annoyed me tonight was, he half pulled out of a challenge when he was favourite to get the ball by a yard or two. Lack of confidence? Lack of talent? Lack of commitment to the Gus bus? Who knows?
Buckley was awesome. Deffo Premiership quality

How can you give CMS lower than the others?

 

[JBizzle]

Brez 8 - Looking like no. 1 for me. Really looks the part now.
Calde 7 - Their winger had him tied up in the 1st half but improved greatly in the 2nd
Greer 7 - Solid and uncompromising. Great moment when he played a poor ball to Calderon straight out of play then ROASTED him for not getting to it!
Dunk 8 - Just superb.
El-Abd 8 - Far better at left back than right. Solid as hell.
JFC 7 - Not his best but still a vast improvement on Harley.
Bridcutt 8 - £1m? He's worth at least twice that!
Sparrow 9 - Thought he bossed it until he came off. Cracking game and really becoming undroppable now.
Buckley 9.5 - HUMILIATED their defence regularly. We mugged Watford for him.
Barnes 8.5 - Superb and really put in a shift. Tracks back so well and covered so much ground. Great attitude today.
CMS 8 - Had the defence on edge all game and is only a goal short of the complete player.

Subs:
Navarro 7.5 - Very solid and settled
Harley 5 - So slow and languid. I really hope he gets there because he SHOULD be perfect for our style
Hoskins 7 - Not on for long but looked hungry to prove a point.

Brighton fans 10 - We were immense today
Toon "Army" 2 - Laughably quiet for the "best fans in England". Got 2 for the sheer numbers brought.

Gus 9.5 - Got it spot on.

 

[Seagulls1984]

Apart from the defence and Buckley I thought we were very average today, but it was a great result.

Buckley 8
Bridcutt 8
Sparrow 7
JFC 6 - He looked good at times but was often muscled out.
Barnes 8
CMS 7 - He gave his all as usual. Did well to get the ball against bigger players but needed more support.

Navarro 7
Harley 7 - He held the ball up well. I can't what people are moaning about.

[Weststander]

Don't know why the surprise on El Abd.

In the Gus era, a player transformed, a greater stopper, and man marked world class Ben Arfa to perfection. 9/10 with Dunk.

 

[clapham_gull]

Buckley is the best player we have signed in many many years. I'll stick my neck out and say more than Zamora.

We will struggle to keep hold of him.

I thought today was phenomenal, we matched one of the in form teams in the country man for man. Immensely proud, I'll remember this afternoon for years to come.
