Thought Cover was very unlucky to be took off at half time as I felt he outplayed Hamza, that being said Ricky P really changed the game. Perfect example of “a game of 2 halves”.

Why the **** is Hamza Choudhury still on the pitch? Cover was twice the player he was in the first half for ****s sake.

£40 million is fair value for him, if we are as screwed financially as feared, then £30 million has to be done but it’s a win for Brighton in my eyes.

One thing that should be said is that training in Italy is stupidly intense. They are used to a culture of absolutely running players into the ground. If a team lost and the owner wasn’t happy about it they would force them into training the next day for running drills as punishment for example. It’s only fairly recent that sport science has started to really be respected and embraced there. Sensi is a hell of a player and as long as we look after him we should reap the benefits of his signing.

On the topic of Italy, Paulo Dybala is available for €12 million. I fancy it, big time.

With Ndidi gone Enzo could play KDH and Yunus together but there is the risk that it’s a bit lightweight and you’d be taking KDH away from what he is doing now as he would need to play the slightly deeper 8 role so Yunus could be higher up the pitch. That’s why I think initially Enzo is gonna play Casadei with KDH as he’s a bigger body and more robust. Like Yunus though, said initially when he signed he reminded me of Bernardo Silva and definitely think in English football at least he would be better playing centrally.

If he follows up today’s performance with another strong showing I don’t think there will be any looking back for Tommy Cannon. Both goals today were impressive and he made some very intelligent movements for a striker in this tactical system. He knew when to drop into pockets and when to stretch the opposition defence. The striker in this team and the way it is set up to play, needs to be hard working and sharp in front of goal, it is ironic that David Nugent would have scored stupid numbers if we could slot him in his prime, him and Cannon do have strong similarities.

Just being honest, for me, if you aren’t falling in love with Enzo as our manager now, then there’s something wrong. We’ve got some great footballers in the side and some young ones waiting in the wings, playing for a manager who demands high standards and wants there to be passion within the club. With our position in the league, the results we’ve had and the style of football he wants to play, the job he’s done here is immense.

Daka’s been quality tonight on the whole his link up play has been good and he’s obviously put a lot of work into improving that side of his game.

What an assist from Abdul. Tenacious.

Enzo should learn from this, clear mistake to bring both Casadei and Iheanacho on. Should have brought Cannon on who relentlessly presses the opposition and still gives you the threat in behind and he should have brought Hamza on for Ndidi to keep the high energy in midfield. A point isn’t bad by any means but considering what it could have been it leaves falling asleep on a slightly bitter note.
