[Albion] Take a Bow Schelotto

Did you misquote me?

just messing around

That 50/50 he got the corner off Rudiger was probably one of my moments of the season thus far.

 

[Mellotron]

He was great. He’s still a bizarre footballer but he was GREAT today. Man of the match.

Was it the Bournemouth game, he went off injured? He was awesome in that too

Yep

 

[ozzygull]

I have to be honest I thought he was total pants when I watched him away at Spurs. When he was started against Chelsea on Boxing Day I was fearing the worse. But I thought he had a good game that day, and seems to be getting better and better each time I seen him play since. Today I thought he was immense and so happy I was wrong about him. I always want a player we have bought to be good for us and enjoy their time with Brighton.

Here's a view from an ex pro from my FB;

You won't go down Geoff, but if you do I would like West Ham to sign Dunk and your long haired right sided player, he looks good

But NSC knows better.

Good to see the match sponsor was actually watching the game today...rightfully our MOM

 

[ferring seagull]

indeed us, top performance. I always knew he would come good cough cough

no cough cough !

 

[Kauto Star]

A rare poster but absolutely immense today . Great to watch someone marauding forward with intent

 

[ferring seagull]

He was pretty dire in his first game so I suppose he had to, but played very well today but needs to be up for the bread and butter games that are winnable.

Yes but played out of position !

Dictionary definition of ‘ran himself into the ground’ today.

"Jesus, Jeesuus"

I can only say BOC and admire the NSC faithful.

I think today's performance was magnificent and one of the best displays of pace and commitment that I have seen from a Brighton player, not because they have been bad just that this performance was excellent.

Prior to this game I have had mixed feelings as he has been bad, then ok and then reasonable i.e. improving but perhaps not quite there so to me the jury was out. One very good game does not change that BUT it certainly has created a lot of optimism for me.

He clearly benefited from the set up today and I for one would continue with the experiment.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

If we play with wing backs I'm certain it suits him better. Bruno likes to work with a winger and is excellent at that. Very different players.

Now let's find an upgrade at left back

You're bang on today [MENTION=3887]Uncle Spielberg[/MENTION]

I loved watching Schelotto today. He's a cult hero in the making, and if he'd managed to tuck that chance away in the second half I don't care what the score would've been, it would've been worth it.

Its like having a combination of Russell Brand and Captain Jack Sparrow at rightback. He's going to be an Albion legend.

 

[neilbard]

Terrific.

 

[Conelli98]

Showed little respect to Chelsea and went in hard for 50/50s, lifted the crowd and was exactly what was needed to set the tone for everyone else, in my opinion we've needed a player like that for sometime, we're way to nice and respectful!

Great post!
Reminded me when Hans Kray used to go up for a corner at the north stand end and the noise level went up a notch or two! Great effort from him yesterday... nice to see someone showing some kahoonas for the up and coming battles ahead. Bruno has a battle on his hands.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Begs the question: Why didn't he play lady week against WBA?

He has the hair for it.

Schelotto was obviously rated in Italy, I noticed how Conte gave him a minute of chat after the game at Stamford Bridge. Today, he was exceptional.
