Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ Brighton & Hove Albion | 2018-2019

If this is what Brighton fans consider a good performance....khak too sare een team

Where is ARJ? CH is sub-happy when ARJ starts, but only uses 2 subs today?

exactly - this should probably already be 1-0 or 2-0 for wolves. this has been awful to watch brighton haven't even tried to go forward

Ryan single handedly saving BHA

Brighton fans after the game:

We dO sO MucH bEtTeR w/O jAhAnbAkHszh

Wolves unlucky to not get 3 points today

I hope Brighton relegates and JB leaves this crap team

Regardless of the aesthetically dull performance, this was a huge point for BHA. They are 3 points clear and have a better GD.

Cardiff City need a minimum of 4 points to overtake Brighton which won't be easy with Cardiff City's remaining schedule (vs Liverpool, @ Fulham, vs Crystal Palce, and @ Man U).

Soooo he went 90 min? Lolol

A completely undeserved and lucky point for Brighton.
If JB had played like Izqueirdo did, the Brighton fans would shit all over him.

Next up ARJ vs Son...assuming CH uses him

I was right today in predicting Izquierdo/March.

If I can keep it up, I guess that they will do Izquierdo/March going forward and sub Ali in if absolutely necessary. Then the last game of the season will be Knockaert again.

they'll get their asses whooped against Tottenham, I am sure it will be a huge confidence boost for JB

Wolves 0 BHA 0

That's how to park the bus. Full backs are important.

Wolves get their first point in the top flight against BHA at their eighth attempt. Nearly got their second goal as well.

ryan saved brighton's ass from relegation. but it's still too early to judge.

It is highly unlikely that Brighton would get a single point from the remaining 4 games, and also unlikely that Jahanbakhsh will get a goal or assist this season :(

Were there any attempts on net ? On or off target by Brighton?

Agree in both. But I think it’s more likely that ARJ score than BHA win

Stephens useless long shot on target, Kayal speculative long shot that skimmed the bar and had beaten the keeper, and another one I heard on the radio when the stream went down, hard opportunity that fell awkwardly for Dunk. Woodwork had a good game for BHA as two Wolves attempts could conceivably have sneaked in. Deserved to be 0-0.

Davy Pröpper contributed absolutely nothing ()

Kayal long range shot off target by inches . Stephens long range on target not risky.

Izquierdo got in some damgerous positions but poor delivery/heavy touches got the ball stolen from him.

If I had to characterize the halves... the first half was basically a snoozefest. The entire second half was basically the first 15 minutes of Iran-Morocco where Iran was getting pinned down heavy

Wow just watched the highlights of the Brighton game and they were super lucky, Wolves could of had about 5 and a decent shout for a penalty. Spurs must be licking their lips at playing that defence.

After Newcastle's performance against t the saints today, I'm skeptical that Brighton can get a single point, let alone a win in their remaining games.

The only chance they have left is that Cardiff doesn't win a single game.

Forgot that BHA could have got an own goal when March got into the Wolves penalty area.

ARJ's style of play isnt particularly suited to mostly very direct, often kickNrush and highly aggressive/physical and in-your-face nature of Championship..!!
In general, He mostly thrives in Mostly attacking systems, especially so with QUALITY supporting cast around him..! he combines well enough with quality players around him and can sense defensive soft spots brilliantly and make very intelligent penetrating runs, has a good nose for goal and possess a tremendous outside shot on him, but only if given time and space to offload it ..!
his biggest problem as a player, especially as a winger is that his technical/dribbling skills are very limited and he lacks the fancy footwork required @ high-level leagues to unsettle his immediate marker and even fast enough of a pace to just speed-move past his man on the wing, in highly contentious leagues..!

in short, he doesnt cope well with aggressive/in your face defenders and either requires more space to operate than he'd likely to be afforded at EPL/Championship or at least require high quality CMs/AM/Sriker who are in-tune with his moves and able to do quick combinations and giveNgo to get him out of the jam and send him on his way forward to cause havoc in the final 3rd and to provide good service to the strikers, which he is more than capable of doing..!

to top it off, he is a bit injury-prone and there are way too many games played at championship with too little rest in between for a adequate recovery..!
high chance of running into many hackers , scrubs and dirty players on the fringe who are desperate to make it big or have their careers bust...!
frequently dreadful playing conditions and miserable weather..!
highly passionate/way too football-consumed English Fan-Base who are extremely impatient and highly critical/negative/ and often downright miserable folks/fans who cant wait for a chance to slate down/boo and get on the back of their players or @ a very least, off-load their pent up frustrations with often sarcastic and smart-ass remarks..!:p

ohm and most importantly from my own perspective Shittt TV coverage of Championship games and Streams availability for us folks living outside of UK..!

---

We played great football in the Championship under Hughton in 15/16 we came 3rd with 89 points and in 16/17 we came second with 93 points. :)

There's still a lot of coverage in the Championship. There's very regular live games on TV and 3pm kick offs live around the world too, which if we're doing well would feature us a lot. There's also an online subscription service thing I'm not fully clued in on and hope I don't need to be that lets you watch games live.

Hahah was as surprised as you! you could clearly tell he wasn't fully fit as he wasn't going into any 50/50 challenges but worked for them!

Lets face it, that was a failure season fo JB, despite the club defensive system. He had enough start, except a very few matches, he looked very nervous in most of it.

BHA fans have been surprisingly tolerant of the uninspiring ARJ from past experiences.

Possibly because there have been multiple problems, the main one being unable to score from open play this season. As Newcastle, Burnley, Leicester all play similar tactics, I put it down to the players. Izquierdo and Pascal Groß have been missing and the new signings have not been so good as replacements.

Home games

0-0 v Watford, played well but did not get the rub of the green
0-1 v Southampton; played against a better side on form
0-5 v Bournemouth, a truly dreadful performance
0-2 v Cardiff, unlucky to get Cardiff on a good day

I think we can expect JB to play today since this game really doesn't "matter" as much since Brighton's chances are so low and Brighton might try to attack a bit more. Probably lot of rotation, and then we will see the same team from Wolves against Newcastle to grind out another boring 0-0 or 1-0 from set piece.

Probable lineup?

The arrival of Almiron has really opened up play for Pérez which has led to them getting goals since he arrived. Plus they have one of the best tacticians in world football. Leicester played similar under Puel, Rodgers only knows one way to play and that is to attack, this has also led to a better run of form. Burnley play to their strengths , set pieces and having two semi decent strikers in Barnes and Wood, bet you wish Barnes still played for you. He bullied that Chelsea defence last night , they couldn’t cope.
The problem has been against those sides , that they have all seemed to want it more than you and I only saw a change in the Wolves game.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see changes, Hughton knows that if he wants to stay up they probably have to beat Newcastle at home on the weekend. Their goal difference is so much better than Cardiff’s that it means Cardiff would have to win two and draw one of their last four games that I don’t see happening.

My dream scenario as a Liverpool fan is that Brighton need to get something last game of the season against Man City and ARJ scores a blinder in injury time to keep Brighton up and win the league for Liverpool 😃 A man can dream hey.

As a United fan that situation is not ideal for me.

But if it means Jahanbakhsh gets some credit and gets revenge on Kyle Walker so be it.

AJ starting on the right wing!!!!

4 3 3 with JB on the right wooo

Will be on direct contact with Son

Onus on Jahanbakhsh to perform and Montoya to concentrate.

I don't think the team is a very good fit to play Spurs? Except we do need speed at the back to cope with Son.
