If it makes you feel any better I will personally accept that Jahanbakhsh has been Brighton’s worst player in that match. (Even though I oscassionaly joke around about Brighton, as I do with all Premier League Clubs) I understand your frustration, especially when you pay 20m+ on him and you don’t see him really impact the game. I’m sorry for the ridiculous comments such as the one that bring politics into it, some people will go out their way and try to connect 2 unrelated things to each other to fit their agenda. Imo Jahanbakhsh is not suited for any team in the Premier League at all, that’s the harsh reality unfortunately. And it isn’t fair to have Knockaert or March benched as both are good players, and have done more than Jahanbakhsh has done this season. Even as an Iranian football fan it’s frustrating seeing Jahanbakhsh not take a corner properly and cause a goal or not able to string a pass correctly and INDIRECTLY cause the 3rd goal. If he does such mistakes with club it terrifies me if he replicates the same for Iran.Originally Posted by Seagull
I'm not really bothered about his performance. Don't get me wrong, I want him and the team to play well, but I always expected us to lose at Everton. I've been consistent in what I've said on here from the moment we signed him, patience. I have seen it so many times. It takes time to adapt to new team mates, new tactics, new match officials and a new country. I never expected him to come straight into the team and be our star player. He's shown he has a good attitude and professionalism, which doesn't come as a surprise, we wouldn't spend that money without assessing his character. Given time he will adapt to his new environment and hopefully become the player we all want him to be.
What annoys me is utter nonsense such as saying it's due to politics, or we can't criticise English players etc.
Welcome to PFDC, it's what we do!
Sounds reassuring coming from Hughton, I trust his word given the fact that he has worked very closely with him in training and scouted him for years
Hopefully he comes back stronger, maybe he needs some more time not playing actively. Sometimes you learn more during the breaks than during the actual grind if that makes sense.
Albion players seem to think that Everton were the second best team we have played this season, apart from Man City. Everton exploited more mistakes though than Liverpool. It does seem that we caught Everton on a good day, and a lesser attack would not have scored the important first goal.
I'm not as optimistic as some of you in terms of his success in the future. Not only does he have to change positions, he is facing players that are better than him and he also has to think about defensive duties now.With Alireza we knew he would need some adjustment time. He came from a club in Holland (AZ Alkmaar) where he played a different type of role. They played mainly 4-3-3 and he played wide on the right, where he is playing for us but in a different formation.
It's unfortunate that our biggest signing in the last ten years will most likely be a failure and it's not because of a lack of effort.
Come to think of it he is not even a starter in Iran national team as CQ mainly has used him as a substitute. Hopefully he can prove us wrong for the benefit of both the National team and his club.
