Brighton report
Yes its only pre season but here is the card
-Gusto is the new beast
If Reece gets injured this season. There will be less worry. Gusto looks made for epl battles
_Sterling Troubles
The man has plenty of work to do with his technical skills. If this play reflects how he will be in the new season, then we should perhaps start sweet talking some Saudi guys this early.
-The pressing
Has greatly improved. A 100% better than last season but way off the required standards especially our second moves anticipation is still poor. We are also Still struggling with confidence and technique playing from the back.
-Maatsen
May be good with pressing from front but going forward his technique looks rugged.
-Jackson
The man is not Havertz. He can hold, he presses and he bangs goals. Our fast paced forwards will have a field day with his holding and ball relaying abilities.
-Gallagher
As have always pointed out, Gallagher's position is the hole. Anticipate tackles well, was aggressive but still issues with his control and movement skills. This area needs strengthening without doubt. We just can't afford to depend on him there as the first option this season.
-Silva and Colwill
The partnership worked well and composed. Something tells me this is will be the pair for next season.
-The Kids
Humphrey needs to go on loan. Still struggles with positioning. Casadei would struggle without a real defensive midfielder besides him. His pace and aggresion had issues. He can however be played as Enzos substitute. Andre was also average and made some encouraging tackles. Hall looked like the master he already is.
Mudryk
The man looks like the Mudryk we wanted.
The team struggled with Brighton's field stretching techniques around our box. Plenty of the times we failed to track their shadow attackers. But this was miles way better than the shitty team we had last season considering that brighton played most of their core attacking players. The new season looks promising.
