tom27111 Posted 5 January 2023 Share Posted 5 January 2023 Just now, Aus Fox said: Since, I can’t think of anyone other that Haaland who I’ve even been nervous about. Didn’t Vardy himself get 9 around the time we beat Southampton 9-0 or did I make that up? I think you're right, isn't Vardy like 3rd or 4th on the streak too? 9 rings a bell What a man. He's on the top 5 twice. But most importantly, leading it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Potter was never ready to step up just yet. Can't manage big personalities yet clearly. A complete idealist as well Chelsea look worse than us, if it weren't for individual talent they'd be near us! They really, really don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 5 January 2023 Author Share Posted 5 January 2023 3 minutes ago, TK95 said: Vardy has hit at least 8 twice, only Van Nistelrooy has matched I just went back and had a look at that second 8, his run finished at home to Norwich where our goal was his header that went down as a Kruel OG if that had been credited to him that would have been 9 and he scored again the next game against Man City. I think he then had a long injury lay off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of that record. The PL record being so difficult to beat at 10, although I still disagree that different seasons should count, was amazing by Vardy but to then do another 10 is phenomenal. A much used word when it comes to Messi though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 48 minutes ago, purpleronnie said: Man city are winning the league again aren't they. Still 5 points behind, but have a better bench than Arsenal. We'll see, as Arsenal have been playing well even without Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always felt Arsenal might become a bit more vulnerable later in the season, especially if they get far in Thursday night football. But they have impressed me so far, and felt they have looked better since the WC break and there aren't many teams where you can say that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 9 injuries at Chelsea since Potter came in. Remember a while back I mentioned Potter had sacked off strength and conditioning training at the Cobham and told players to do it on their own time if they wanted to....

I wouldn't want to use that as an excuse though, they're scouting South America and parts of europe that never really interested us (which is a shame as they should have!) There's been no reason why we shouldn't have been looking at France like we always have been the last two years, the only plausable explanation is BR and friends..... just look at the four links since Glover has come in! Two in France, one in Holland and one Skandi.... that's us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 4 hours ago, davieG said: Brighton have spent years building a top scouting network -- and credibility among clubs and agents -- in South America. They went where value could be found (i.e. outside of Brazil and Argentina). Now they have a tremendous pipeline. Our advantages in data-driven scouting were quickly adopted by others (Brighton also foremost among them) and became standard practice. Brighton’s work will be harder to duplicate.

If you arent a massive club we are all aspiring to be a Dortmund and Atletico, two of the best 'selling' clubs in world football who just replace very well.

Sampson Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 5 hours ago, davieG said: You can’t keep that up forever though. Southampton used to do it brilliantly, then we did, now Brighton do. Eventually you sign 2 or 3 duds or players run down their contracts and the whole thing unravels. I’d be very surprised if Brighton aren’t really struggling like Southampton and ourselves in 2 or 3 seasons time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
