There's no way they are holding him back with a potential Jan transfer in mind? Avoiding being cup tied, like?
I think cup-tied resets after the groups anyway
So Haaland played for Red Bull Salzburg in the 2019/20 groups but for Dortmund in the knockouts that year
Lots of reasons, but mostly because it's fun to think about Evan Ferguson and the positive attention he is getting, even in the form of conspiracy theories... Have you heard the one that he isn't even real and is just a hologram developed by NASA as part of the fake moon landing project?!
Starts away to Villa in a few minutes.
Withdrawn at half-time, away to Villa.
He's starting again Liverpool but he has not got into the game at all. Hopefully he doesn't get subbed again at half time. Pedro hasn't done much either. They are relying on Mitoma and Adingra on the breaks.
Brighton badly need Caoimhin Kelleher if they persist with their style of play from the back, both current keepers not up to the ground game
Subbed off just now around 60 minutes, showed a bit more in second half, almost a nice assist too but winger didn’t convert
Yeah. How I saw it too. It was very strange to see him as the furthest back of 4 attacking players multiple times in the first half.
His pass in the second half that Tommy mentions was lovely but that’s about all he did. Anonymous other than that. I think Ferguson would excel as the main man week in week out but I’m not sure De Zerbi really knows what approach he wants for his strikers as he has so many and they’re all fairly different; he changes starters often from game to game and very early in-game. Mitoma has had an off few weeks too and when he’s quiet, so are Brighton.
Personal opinion is Pedro hasn't been a great signing for them. Thought him and Ferguson didn't gel well at all and often Pedro holds onto ball too long which is unusual for a Brighton player. Mitoma not getting the ball from Pedro either.
Fully agree on Pedro, not sure if it’s selfishness on Pedro’s part but tends to hog the ball, makes poor decisions….could have played Ferguson in once or twice in the first half, must be a frustrating player to play with
He's back baby!
Good goal - he had few touches in the game up til then, but once he got a decent chance he knew what to do.
It was actually a lovely finish. Just stroked the ball home with his left from outside the box. You’d see plenty of those chances botched but he showed great calmness and composure to pass it into the bottom corner. Quality.
signs a new contract at Brighton until June 2029

Who is that moron?
"What's the reason that you're so committed to Ireland?"... It honestly would take an Englishman to ask that question.
Who cares? Some hack trying to be funny. We can be over-sensitive or we can just ignore it. I prefer the latter
I think the way the question was phrased is rightly being called out for being idiotic. If he had asked if there was ever a possiblity of him declaring for England and left it at that it would have been legitimate, "why are you so committed to Ireland" comes across very poorly, even if it was tongue in cheek. You could hear from Fergusons response he was quite annoyed by it, despite the smile.
That interview has buried the lead a bit though. A contract extension until 2029 is a very long extension. Works well for both parties, protects Ferguson in the event of injury and protects his value for the club for when they sell him.
The tone of the question just comes across so condescending and smarmy. A little bit of journalistic integrity is a lot to ask for these days it seems. "You've had a great start to your career, early days there was questions floating around that you might choose to play for England, was that ever a possiblity?" If he had put it that way, none of us would even blink
Yep, that's spot on
Ferguson handled the irritating troll well. Bear in mind Evan is probably half the troll's age, but showed more maturity.
Not even on the bench today?
Does that rule him out for us?
He's a "major doubt" per the Indo anyway.
Let's me honest these are the games we don't need our stars
I hope he promotes someone though.
