BTW - reading the Brighton forums, it seems like Izquierdo was poor in his return to the u-23 side and was quite sluggish. He seems to need a few weeks before getting back on form. He was subbed out at half time.

Im convinced that ARJ chose brighton just to help.improve his TM form. This style of play doesnt suit his game but it does match TM style of play under CQ so maybe he took the big risk just to improve for TM.
Brighton play 4-4-1-1 most of the time, which is notionally less defensive than 4-2-3-1 (=4-5-1).Quote:

My point being that in most, if not all the Brighton games so far the team does not really attack unless they are behind or the subs come on. So CH has programmed this team in this specific manner. I remember during one of the games the announcer was criticizing CH because Brighton can actually attack but they decide to only do so when they fall behind!Quote:

It’s not like Brighton are going to win against Man City either way. So at least give Jahanbakhsh the start to prove himself and eventually lessen the deficit. This is getting pretty ridiculous as it is.

With the new younger players in the side, changes are in the offing in the near future. I expect there needs more understanding before it clicks.
It is the job of CH to get the balance of the attack and defence right. If we pressed like Man United against Spurs we would have lost 0-3. The way we played created more big chances than Spurs and we could have won. Three key points in the game went against the Albion:
1) the Dale Stephens injury
2) the disallowed goal
3) the first Knockaert miss
I expect Alireza Jahanbakhsh to start against Man City in place of Solly March. I can only see one reason why not! Only reason is that it will be two inverted wingers.
cf: José Izquierdo did not make his first team PL starting debut until 1st October 2017.
The game was not memorable as the Albion lost 2-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates and it could have been more. Brighton played 4-5-1 with Solly March playing on the right wing, with a shot that hit the bar with Cech beaten all ends up. The rest was very poor and Arsenal won with little trouble and Izzy was subbed.
TV coverage of Man City vs Brighton & HA
For U.S. viewers, the Man City vs. Brighton match will be shown live on NBC Sports Network at 7 AM pacific time (10 AM eastern time).
it seems every week brighton is on prime time tv coverage, but ARJ never starts. By the time he starts im sure that they will no longer be on tv and we will have to resort to finding online links again lol
