Binos Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Caciedo bid at £60m currently from arsenal Brighton probably saw coming so looking for above Swedish replacement At least would give Billy better chance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It is very worrying that Brighton have opted to change formation, rather than start Gilmour. A Spanish/Italian loan move please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He looked rusty and not looking as lean as he did a year ago. Also, the number of times he would receive a pass and then return it was maddening. A lot of those times he had space to turn and play a progressive pass. I don't know what his next move is, but he looked, dare I say it, out of his depth today. A shite performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He did go back a bit but he took the ball under pressure and rarely lost it. Looked ok I thought, can see his technical quality but seem unsure when defending. Also thought he could've made himself available more to take passes but didn't, not sure if that's a confidence issue. He was okay I thought overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binos Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Well I'm afraid that confirms Billy's place at the club Gross prefered, not even same style of play, a more attacking dm prefered in the defensive dm position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross often plays there, even before Gilmour joined the club. Anyway, I thought Gilmour did alright when he came on. Maybe a bit rusty but he did some good stuff as well. Brighton certainly played better for going back into their usual formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It is worth taking into account how Brighton's double pivot works. They'll stay narrow, one usually drops to receive off the CBs (who wait unusually long before releasing) while the other will tend to position himself to receive a potential pass from a full-back or if the other midfielder pops it back. It can look like they're ponderous or negative, but it's almost always with the intention of drawing on an opposition press. That doesn't excuse some of Gilmour's negativity, though, especially his reluctance to turn on the ball. I could be wrong, but he did seem to grow a bit more confident as the half went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
