He needs to get rid of Stephens and find a defensive midfielder with more pace and stamina that is less hurried on the ball, someone like Fred for United or Ebrahimi for us. I also don't think Montoya is a good signing, its really confusing what contribution he even brings to the defensive system. Propper is a good player, Bissouma is a good player, but both tend to be very short sighted when bringing the ball up and aren't good at finding outlets. Bissouma is a mess defensively. If the right adjustments were made, the wingers could finally be given some freedom and start to create goals and you would see Bissouma being able to push forward more so that the striker doesn't look so isolated all the time.
Hope that Brighton don't get relegated and that they make a couple good signings in the central midfield. The transition Hughton is attempting is a positive one for being a more established premier league side.
CH needs to play either Stephens or Proper (the latter preferably), having two slow D-mids with no or bad vision is not good when you play a 4-3-3 formation that is dependent on a strong active midfield.
Let's not beat around the bush with Bissouma, with the chances he has been given he has been kind of disappointing. 80% of the time he gets the ball dribbles around because he has no awareness of the field, eventually looks up and then makes a safe pass or loses the ball, meanwhile destroying any chance of quick counter. At least two of these boneheaded episodes have led to goals in games where BHA has lost 1-0.

Premier League
Saturday 13 April 2019 15:00 BST
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Bournemouth
Amex Stadium
BHA are too slow in defence to handle breakaways. I knew this before which why I wanted Bruno (instead of Montoya) and Bong (instead of Bernardo); at least they know they are slow and don't get caught out of position.
Knockeart sending off was deserved, but Bournemouth did an equally identical bad foul on Bissouma earlier that did not get a yellow card.
Other teams have come unstuck by Bournemouth, the leading counter attack team in the Premier League. CH played it all wrong.

We've seen this with his form for TM too, the evidence is piling up. He needs to address it soon because you can only live off Eredivisie exploits for so long before you're thrown into the same bin as Afonso Alves and Vincent Janssen.

The doublethink for the BHA fans in their forum is surreal.
Obviously everyone is angry with Knockaert for his sending off, but there are quite a few comments saying "the game was already over by then".
Yes, it was over because at 1-0, Knockaert gave the ball away cheaply and Bournemouth scored on the break! Were it not for his mistake, the game would have not been over.
If that were JB they would have absolutely crucified him for that, but it's just been ignored.
The guy is the worst player I'd ever want to have, all he does is moan and throw his arms up at his teammates. The fans need to get past his form in the Championship.
EDIT: At least one fan on their forums gets it:
"He will never learn.
He has been allowed to make critical mistake after critical mistake at this level but has been indulged by manager and fans. He is a walking liability. He refuses to adjust his style to PL demands, continually overplays and regularly loses the ball.
Championship player at best. Lets get rid now and find a more solid, more consistent replacement. Leicester were right. They said he wasn't good enough at this level and they were right. Two or three cameos a season is simply not enough and is more than offset by the string of critical mistakes he makes."

At the beginning of the season, I thought our best signing would be a left sided quickish midfielder instead of another winger. I think it was proved to be so, although, I'm not sure BHA could afford one of proven calibre, even if available.
I'm not sure CH actually played a proper 4-3-3 until today, usually more like a 4-5-1. Team (before the game started) looked OK, except I expected Locadia as the target man and Andone as the second striker with one winger.
I agree that 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1 is the best bet. Much better players are needed for 4-3-3.
i have doubts if the current squad can even beat Cardiff at home.
The greatest failure this season is the failure to create and score chances from open play. It was much better last season with the slow Pascal Groß.

Opinions have always been divided over Knockaert. I am not an enthusiast fan. But it is unfair to blame him for losing the ball in the opposing half when players of both sides (except Duffy and all of the Bmouth defence and Adam Smith) were losing the ball all over the shop.
At least, Knockaert won't need to be dropped!

CH leaving = a fresh air for brighton as knocky the headless chicken will get trashed by any other coach who knows football. but brighton is too biased.. if those mistakes that knockaert makes were Jahanbakhsh's fault he would already been crucified 10 weeks ago.
There is quite a lot for the defensive mindset for keeping a new club in the top division. Also, the percentage football may be unattractive at times but is stats-based and works against teams outside the top six. If only players would follow the plan!?
To my mind, Montoya and Bernardo have not tuned into the need to defend when we are attacking. They do not read the games as well as Bruno and Bong.

CH was ready to take Knockaert off just Minutes before his red card (I thunk I saw JB warming up at the side line),
Very unfortunate.
Knockaert...what can I say, he somehow reminds me of a budget Ribery, sometimes the stuff he does is good but most of the times he is acting and playing as if he is some brilliant footballer but its obvious its all show
I think this Brighton team as a whole is not functioning.
Just compare that to the great unit & family AZ Alkmaar was for JB and you will easily understand JB’s lack of confidence.
I have my fingers crossed for CH and JB for tuesday’s match against Cardiff.
CH has made a lot of wrong decisions regarding tactics and line-up but it is obvious that he is the only one who believes in JB at this club right now.
