Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ Brighton & Hove Albion 2020/21

[Roozbeh-G2006]

I used to wear this patriotic tinted glass and didn't see the weaknesses in our players. I used to get gheyrati if someone dissed or rated lowly our players. Since taken the tinted glass off I can see clearly where the weaknesses are. Unless us fans demand higher level and brilliance and competence at world level - at the level we see at top leagues - from our players we will always fear others and we will be beaten by teams that are physically, mentally, and historically weaker than us. I demand much better all round competent football from hassan o hossein and taghi o naghi if they want to play for TM. Simple as!

Well, he outplayed Trossard, the Belgian international, today. I guess Belgians has very low standards like us Iranians.

Potter ball at its best again. Just cause he got lucky last week he thinks he’s a half-time subbing genius.

[The Realist]

Final nail in the coffin.

I hope we never have to watch Brighton play again!

[nisfejahan]

But rest assured, Leeds is not a direct threat to BHA, as BHA will fight relegation, and Leeds in all probability will finish mid table, well above the relegation zone where BHA permanently occupies.

Check the date of the post and Just call me Nostradamus....

And I did not need any xG model😂😂

LOL. Brighton finish in 16th. Such great progress for this team since sacking CH for the brilliant tactician Potter.

[Medzdidz]

Brighton to do a Leicester next season, get Ranieri in and some players from lower teams in France.

what steps? Certainly not any along the EPL table!

Record last season: 9-14-15. Points 41
Record this season: 9-14-15. Points 41

Record in 2017-18 season under Houghton. 9-13-15. Points 39

So it too 2 season to get 2 more points. Average of one point per Season!!! At this rate he will win the title in about 40 years or so. An unparalleled improvement indeed.

What a bust he has been....give him another 5 year contract.

[Prowess]

It’s tempting to think ARJ’s substitution at halftime was predetermined since it was the last game of the season.

But Potter always yanks ARJ early—even when he’s playing well.

His fotmob rating was 6.5—no worse than any of the midfielders today. I hope these short appearances are enough to show scouts he’s healthy, and can still play.

I really hope this was his last game as a Brighton player 🙏

New 5 year contract for Potter should be coming any time now.

[Ghermez Agha]

LOL 61-62 expected points?!

That’s total garbage whoever put that expectation on them to finish in the top 7-8. With maximizing their rosters potential they are no stronger than 13-14 which they nearly finished in and if we’re fair could have if their forwards could finish their chances.

13 points clear off relegation, playing stylish football with little spend and 5th on xPTS. Incredible job by one of the great managerial talents in the modern game.

The expectation is not someone who has randomly assigned them the target, it's the scientific measure of how many points their performances deserved under an unbiased model.

The manager's job at its most basic is literally to maximise chances created and minimise chances conceded which is why xPTS is such a good reflection of his success. The fact his strikers have continued to underperform on finishing is down to them individually, or, at a push, down to the coach responsible for working on their finishing.

Obviously there is much more to the job also such as motivating the squad and fans and dealing with the media but he seems to be excelling in those areas too which is why he is rated so highly in the sport and why his next job will likely be a high profile one.
