[Albion] Yankuba Minteh SINGS on 5 year contract

[Guinness Boy]

Absolute quality tonight. From the tactical view paradise that is the WSU it was clear he had two roles. In possession - score or assist. Tick x 2. Out of possession though he was playing right back allowing Veltman to tuck in and one of our centre backs to press their pivot.

Covered a huge amount of ground, scored twice and his tackling is better than his final ball as often as not.

Basically has all the attributes of a world class wingback. Will be fascinating to see how we develop him.

 

[A1X]

Easily his best Albion performance for me, worth saying immense at the back when needed as well as going forward

 

[brighton_tom]

Something seems to have really clicked with him recently in knowing what his role in the team is, and also staying composed in front of goal. Improving game by game.

 

[Gabbiano]

So glad to see him deliver more consistently. Much like Baleba, the talent is undeniable, he just needs time to iron out the kinks in his game.

There are few wing pairings in world football which are more threatening than an in-form Mintoma.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Fantastic effort. Massive threat going forward and kept calm to bury his chances, but worked so hard dealing with Neto then Sancho. Very exciting looking at how much better he can still get

Was Sanchez playing as we kept him so quiet. The England manager must have left scratching his head watching the Chelski flops whilst marking down Hinshelwood as a player

 

[Soton Seagull]

It was great that he did Side show Bob for both his goals, made it even sweeter.

Starting to turn that raw potential in to end product.

I would have also marked down Webster for the squad. He’s superb in his best position.

Does Veltman’s running for him doesn’t he?

Much like Gomez did for Messi and Suárez at Inter Miami.

 

[Oh_aye]

Brilliant from him. Amazing defensive work as well. I'd like to see his running stats from that game.

 

[pigmanovich]

In another world he scored his first PL hat trick tonight - class player.

This.
Getting better and better, I didn’t think offensively he was as good last week, as a lot on here, but last night that was a far more complete performance.
Would still like him to go outside now and again, but that was excellent.

Great shift, and his tracking and defensive work is fast becoming the best in the team.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Would still like him to go outside now and again, but that was excellent.

Yes. The cutting inside is completely predictable .... yet they still can't stop him

 

[ROSM]

Probably our best full back at the moment too

Good points! It was fascinating seeing Webster pressing upfield quite a bit - reminded me of how we played in De Zerbi’s first year (before things fell apart).

Tactical mastery from Fab…. no wonder Maresca doesn’t like him!!

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Can we also add set piece delivery to Minteh's agreed skillset.

They look more dangerous than anything else we've put in for a good while

Newcastle made a bigger mistake than Minteh by selling "throwback" star

Newcastle already sold "throwback" star who's an even bigger mistake than Minteh

Bee-ware of the obvious mistake

I wonder if the hive mind of NSC will pick up on it.

That's an absolute honey of a typo.
