There is no logic in saying Brighton wins with him and loses when he is not there, as if he adds a magical touch or force. He is just an average player. Ratings don't lie.Quote:

Point is: his skills & abilities are there. He needs more time. If not, he will definitely flourish somewhere else.
PS: Just because a player performs better than another on a team, doesn't necessarily mean he's better individually. It can mean he's just a better fit in the system of play of the team. So to merely judge ARJ on his EPL performances, can be very superficial indeed.
The semi final will be shown live on the BBC.
Maybe he adds a magical touch in respecting his defensive duties?!?!Quote:

I love Brighton as a city too, it was where me and my wife had our first weekend away together so holds a special place for me. Plus the in laws do the Mod scooter run there every Summer so it’s a tradition to go for my wife’s family.
Saying that I have seen no consistency at all in the Brighton games I have seen. Every player has had periods of poor play and made bad mistakes, there seems to be little understanding between most of the team. Maybe because there is a constant change in midfield , wingers and wing backs and maybe due to injuries. Losing their play maker for a lot of the season hasn’t helped either.
Dan Ashworth coming in soon will be big for Brighton , he is well respected in the game and I expect there will be an overhaul in the players. The jury is still out on ARJ time at Brighton , I think if he doesn’t start well next season that they will probably look at getting back most of what they payed for him. Next season there will be no Asian Cup, he is used to the surroundings and the league. There will be no excuses, his performances have improved lately so hopefully this shows he is on the right trajectory.
The Millwall game was an odd one, a very unique ground to play at with crazy weather and also he seems to have no chemistry at all with Murray.
ARJ has the best winning percentage in this clubs history. Fact!Quote:

it looks to me like he simply wasnt quiet ready for such a contentious dog-fight of a match against a highly motivated opponent in rough atmosphere with shitty playing conditions to boot..!! ffs, i think i saw gusty freezing rain and freaking Hail..? coming down during some portions of it..!! lmao..!!:p
this is partially what i mean when i say Playing English Football, is certainly is the Most Challenging overall footballing environment that any player could ever face ..! if you can star and make it there, you can then make it anywhere ..!
Tense match watching live, but I could not repeat watching it, because the football quality wasn't so good. Millwall burned themselves out and any fresh legs would do. Significant was that Solly March wanted to get around on the outside on his weaker foot (CH could have switched winger positions at HT) and Locadia looked promising with his shooting.Quote:

Besides the tired leg, the game is played differently when it is 0-0 vs 2-0. Not at all fair for people to compare the first 70 minute of the game to the last 20 minutes and extra time. Millwall, correctly stopped pressing and decided to defend deep after going ahead. This made our halfbacks look more composed as they got less pressure when they received the ball. I would think March would have looked very much like Knockeart and ARJ had he played the first 70 minutes...
Happy Nowruz to all my Iranian friends here! (its already 21 Mar here in Singapore) <3
Congratulations to Singapore defeating Malaysia today!Quote:

But he is behind his winger friends in terms of delivery in the last matches. If he has the fear of failing then he should let go of that feeling of hesitation and fear of failure. He knows now how physical and demanding the EPL is. It’s a very physical and high tempo league. He needs to find his rhythm soon.
I used to shit on his coach and I’ll still shit on him IF he instructs Alireza to defend and close gaps. But it seems as though the head coach has allowed Ali to go forward and take chances. Now it’s time to be sharp and mentally strong. The next game is a crucial one for Alireza.
thank you my friend! btw, I think Beiranvand would make a much better goalkeeper then Kasper Schmeichel! :rofl:Quote:

Lets not forget that 90% of ARJ attacks came from the right wing last year. His style is not really built for play on the left wing. His lack of productivity has mostly to do with the lack of productivity from Izquerdo. ARJ and Izquerdo are sadly being outplayed by AK and Solly right now but both ARJ and Izquerdo are the better experienced national players.

What are you hash tagging? You are posting on a forum not instagram. What do you get out of bashing ARJ so much?!Quote:

Ohh wait sorry, that was in 2012, four years before you jumped on the bandwagon. Not surprisingly, it was also the year Knockaert was dumped off the team (perhaps because Leicester didn't think he was cut out for the prem?).
I would take knockaert over baksh in a milisecond for team melli. That isnt even a queestion. Knockaert has incredibly work ethic during the game even more than baksh. It's fair for him to say he would make a better winger than alirezaQuote:

If you don’t take my criticism of him, would you take the criticism of a pundits? Even a pundit was saying last game the best thing he’s done is nothing beside one goal against Oman. Brighton fans, English people, quite frankly don’t rate him, why should I?
Wonderful. We hear you loud and clear. We know where you stand. I think everyone on this forum and a few adjacent forums know where you stand. Feel free not to mention it every 5 minutes.Quote:

I don't get what point you are making. I am saying ARJ is two years younger and in his first season in England, whereas Knockaert is in his 7th season in England. You said you dumped him because he was not good enough, and now surprise surprise three years later he is doing well in the Prem.Quote:

He is only 25 and he has had one or two games where he has looked really good. I am confident he will adjust and improve. Even on the Brighton forum it's constantly said that him and Bissouma stand out in training, and that's coming from their teammates.
THE TEAM NEWSQuote:

SOUTHAMPTON
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Gunn; Vestergaard, Yoshida, Bednarek; Valery, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Bertrand; Redmond, Austin
Unavailable: Obafemi (Injured)
Yadesh bekheir. A variation was Kazemian who was better technically but fit into the physical winger camp like Shaqiri/AK.Quote:

sorry but ali karimi wasted time too. spent 4 years in Dubai before bayern.Quote:

Hopefully he will make it and grow into the league. Even in the case he doesn't and has to move, I still have mad respect for him in the way he has managed his career to this point. This is what we want from the youngsters; to constantly challenge themselves even if it means being in unfashionable teams in small towns in favor of being a starting star in shit teams a la Pouraliganji (biggest waste of talent of this generation in my opinion).
AK spent his best years in Dubai, he does not get any credit for spending only 2.5 seasons in BL in his entire career! That was an absolute crime against himself, he would have been one of the best footballers in the world had he not been so stupid! I plan on telling him when I see him too :)Quote:

Although had a good season at Bayern before getting injured...
