Not counting his starts, his average play time is less than 15 minutes.

So you took out the 191 minutes in FA cup and 90 minutes in EFL cup? Yeah lets foget those games because why?

José Izquierdo - 569 minutes, 2 assists and only 9 games played

Jahanbakhsh seems to lack both quality and mentality to do good in England, which some of us already predicted due to his playing style.

Then why sign him? If he was not EPL quality, shouldn't CH have recognized that watching him in Eredivisie? Why waste everyone's time then? Either play the man, or release him to a team that will.

He's been given way less chances. Give him a few starts and see what happens. He could have had several assists as well by now if the Brighton players could finish.

Less chances because he was injured or out in AFC cup. Furthermore why do you all ignore the times he has had to show something in FA cup or EFL?

2 games in FA Cup, 1 in EFL Cup and 1 on Premier League 2. He sucked against inferior opposition in all those competitions.

Stop whining. In the end, you are nothing more than a fanboy with a ethnic bias to see him playing and do good. There are people at Brighton who work with him everyday and know what they are talking about.

He gives the other Dutch kids way more chances. Locadia (who has complained publicly about lack of playing time) and Proper. They play horribly (Propper scored his first goal today) yet they are given more chances.
Its bullshit. This babying him into the league style Hughton has doesn't' work.

There is one thing certain, he definitely lacks confidence at this time

Silver lining: BHA plays again this Saturday, so MAYBE CH was saving him for that game. Still not happy with him not playing at all, but let's see what Saturday's lineup looks like.

He's actually done well in those games, that's why I didn't say anything.

They are probably wondering the same now as well. Sometimes clubs wrongly judge a player, and assume that because he has impressed in another competition, he would do good in England as well. The same with Tottenham and Janssen, who came from AZ as well. The Dutch competition is, as a result of these mis-transfers, already been looked at with huge skepticism nowadays.
