One point no one has made. majority of Brightons goals have been set pieces.

He isn't allowed to take any set pieces or be in the box. He's sent far away...another reason 0 goals and 0 assists.

brighton fans ( for the most part of what i see from the forum posts snippets seem to be racist idiots. CH is the reason for all the stress and his tactics. if you play counter attacking football, and you sit so deep you need to figure a way to keep the ball upon getting the ball off of your opposite team, and all we saw yesterday was that there was litterally no option and only choice was to shoot the ball back to tottenhams field while noone was there. CH is shit.. brighton fan mentality is shit, the team is shit for not putting CH on his spot and telling him he;s using wrong tactics.

That is the issue..it is not JB..it is the coach that doesn't know how to use him...pretty much brighton coach is horrible...you have a guy that plays on the right side and it is an attacking midfielder...but this retard is asking JB to not only come back and help the defense but also play a very defensive roll.....another fact is that JB's teammates sure as hell don't get him the ball as much as he would like...plenty of times JB gives a nice short pass expecting an 1-2 and then the guy is just ignoring JB's run....

overall this is not the team for JB....I hope he moves on... EPL has ruined a lot of players and i sure don't want that to happen with JB.....JB belongs to spain, italy and netherlands...this is not it.

He's not a midfielder. He never has been and never will be. Jahanbakhsh is an old school outside forward. Period. He's not even a winger. He plays best when he can cut inside from an outside position as a goal scoring threat and supporting forward. He's not a midfielder and he's not a guy that is gonna throw dime crosses into the box on a regular basis.

When you watch brighton play you quickly realise how hopeless they are. ARJ is NOT! Edin Hazard. He will not be able to take on 3-4 defenders at once. Thats not ARJ game. Didnt these people watch what he did in Holland?? Their is a reason why he is worth 17million and Hazrad is over a 100. You get what you paid for. This team has to play 4-2-3-1 DM and go for long balls and try to play first option off of the second balls.

As such i'd imagine that the fan base is emotional and looking for someone to vent their frustrations on and the most obvious answer for them is Alireza since they had high hopes for him. At the moment none of them care if he is a top quality player, in their eyes the team is in a trench and its because they can't build anything going forward.

Looking at the team itself, beyond just tactics, i think that the players are FAR too harsh on mistakes they make. I'll give you a good example. Today, the spurs team was trying to break down Brighton's defense and in doing so, every single one of their players--Son, Rose, Alli, Eriksson, Lucas--all of them gave the ball away many times and were dispossessed from either errant passes, dribbles, etc. In NONE of those cases would you see their teammates immediately give them heat for it or try to withhold the ball from them afterwards.

But you watch Brighton, if Alireza attempts a dribble on his fullback you IMMEDIATELY see anger from either Stephens, Propper, Murray, Knockheart, doesn't matter but the team mentality is brutal and negative and it is clear as daylight that the culture needs to change. It most certainly is contributing to the abysmal chemistry in this team and is pushing it towards an 'individualistic' mentality where when players get frustrated they just try to do everything on their own.

Great post

Would probably do a better job of setting up the team and getting the best out of their players

I agree that he's not a mid. But he was second in assists in Holland last season.
