He had a poor first year at both NEC & AZ, so a slow start is nothing new. Add to that the fact he's adjusting to a new country, a new league and a pretty serious jump in quality and it makes sense he's had a bad first season. I reckon he'll be put on a strength programme in pre-season and he'll come back next year bulkier/stronger, you need either strength or pace to really shine in the Prem. Next year is when to judge him, once he's had a full pre-season and time to settle. Or maybe we go down and he tears the Championship a new arse.

He could score today or get the winner at Wembley next week and then all of a sudden he'll be brilliant again and everyone on here will be telling us he's our best player again. We'll see.

I'm glad there are reasonable Brighton supporters like you who don't judge potential based off a few games. Ignore everyone else; Jahanbakhsh is very talented and will shine very soon...

They show EPL matches at times since they're part of NBC Universal that holds the exclusive EPL rights in the U.S. (similar to their sister station, NBC Sports).

I don't understand why Iranians are bashing JB so much, not just his performances (which admittedly, weren't as good as we would have wanted) but his talent.

He wouldn't have got to where he is, as a young boy from Gilan, without outstanding application and great skill. He doesn't have the super agencies that eg Koreans have and yet is the record signing for a premier league club, whilst hailing from one of the world's most isolated pariah states.

Brighton have been working on his physical traits and bulking then cutting him so he is still a work in progress because he probably hasn't quite got used to his recent muscle bulk.

I have no doubt that he will succeed in the long run even if he has a few more knocks in the short run. I understand criticising him but some of the comments in this thread are just going overboard and silly about one of our best legionnaires.

One of the most sensible posts I have ever read on this forum, fair play.
