Stopping the midfield would probably require the three clown midfielders to actually defend, win and serve playable balls. This has not happened yet and will not happen against MC with these clowns on the pitch and CH's style of kick and rush.Quote:

If you serve 1 in 10 good balls to your wingers (watch the games again and see the service your wingers get), then you get less than 1 in 10 good crosses unless you are playing against cones. Anyone who has played/coached the game can tell you that.
Against MC you might as well play a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-4-1 and bunker in, because with the midfield that you have you are going to get badly buggered in 3 seconds.
And down turn in form has had very little to do with Bruno. He was there for 2 of the 3 games in the winning streak and then disappeared, and before that when he played a bit more BHA was nothing to write home about. If anyone has been there for the losing streaks other than your permanent starters and their lack of ability to string 3 passes together, it has been Bong and to a lesser extent Montoya.

Can you explain why kayal is on the bench? he is the only player that walks & runs without the ball, I don’t like Propper and Stephens.
But still people blame JB every time, it’s not like other players are performing better
Brighton midfield and defense are just too slow
I really hope he gets loaned out or goes to another club to prove everyone wrong
English football doesn’t suite him he should have gone to Germany like weghorst 12 goals already For Wolfsburg! and weghorst was the guy that was super jealous of JB

Preview:
Notional squad strings five across the middle with two wide men for Brighton. It does not usually pan out quite like that.
In recent games against City, Brighton conceded by a quick breakaway after being caught in possession or by misdirecting a pass playing out of defence. The very first goal was conceded after a Brighton corner.
My review of the game is: Brighton need to keep the possession while they are allowed to have it. Even seconds after kick-off Brighton lost the ball instantly to Chelsea. Sure, maybe Brighton can't do much with possession in a attacking sense, but having possession also means the other team will have a harder time to attack.
This could mean to play fewer long balls. Against Chelsea, I found that Andone had trouble reaching/controlling crosses coming from the deep, maybe it is because he is shorter than Murray, but this feels like something you use when Murray plays. Andone seems to like to come in deeper and sometimes even run out to the wings, this means Brighton really need to hammer in more possession based play if they want to use Andone, atleast in this formation.
If you play long balls and Andone can't control/reach it, it also means that the wingers can't get involved. The play just dies instantly and the possession falls to Chelsea again, and Brightons wingers need to run back and defend again, and then Andone once again becomes the only option upfront and the cycle continues.
Overall it feels like Brighton has completely disconnected units. You have the defenders that do well imho, the CM's that sometimes work well with defenders, then the wingers and strikers, that seem to be detached from the rest of the team. It's weird since you'd imagine atleast the CM's and wingers will be connected well, but I just can't see them having a partnership in this team. They don't seem to know how to play with eachother, which once again seems to lead to losing possession. Just a general comment.
This is only my own opinion, I was doing other things while watching the game and I probably didn't catch everything.
ARJ was the only player maintaning Hazard. As soon as ARJ got moved to the left, Hazard took over. I dont know how much more we can expect from him when he is playing RWB or LWB. Brighton wouldve been better off buying Mohammadi for playing those positions.

In this way away from home and against the top six they tend to have possession of less than 50%, averaging out at 44.5% which is 16th, only better than Palace, Newcastle, Burnley and Cardiff, but all bar the top 6 are under 50% on their travels. cf Man City 62.9% and only Chelsea are above 60% away from home.
Passing away from home is at 75%, 15th, cf. Man City 88%, Chelsea 88.2%. This confirms my allegation that Chelsea was a dress rehearsal.
Other points: Locadia was chosen as target striker but got injured late on. Andone is a second striker put into a target role he is not suited to.
Even from open play, Brighton have the highest number of accurate crosses away crosses of 4.9 per game with 10.3 inaccurate. cf. Man City 2.9 accurate and 15.9 inaccurate. Man City have the most accurate away corners at an astonishing 4 per game, inaccurate 4.1. Brighton are sixth with 2.2 accurate, 1.5 inaccurate away from home.
Brighton have a very high proportion of long passes at 19% with about 44% of them accurate. Only Man City have more than 50% long ball passes accurate (57%). It would be better if Brighton did not waste so many long balls, but they are not on their own, most clubs resort to the long pass quite often and more often inaccurate. (I bet these include keeper clearances.)
All in all, the top 6 are on a different level than the rest.
Brighton just sucks as a team and against Chelsea they couldn't even hold the ball for 30 seconds. Their midfield is non existent. Jahanbakhsh chose the wrong team for sure. lets hope he still manages to score some goals, it's about time
Wow if that happens then I take my hat off to you 😀Quote:
