Wasn't it good to see Cresswell and Joseph trying to swap shirts at the end of the match yesterday!
A big thumbs up to Cresswell for a very resilient display, that sort of performance has always been I his locker. The year in France has improved his comfort on the ball but, before the usual suspects chip in, I don't see him as an improvement on Rondon so I don't believe he would have progressed as far at Thorp Arch.
And the £3.8m we earnt was well spent on Tanaka
Win Win.

Agree Axe! That he was a very capable player has never been in doubt. The question was always, for previous managers and Farke, was around the style of his play. Best of luck to him, but I still agree with Class that we have kept the better of the brothers.

Agree with Wigan whites that he's good defending the high balls and as a presence in the opponents box but not quick and don't think his distribution and comfort in tight situations is particularly good. One who did impress last night and looked comfortable on the ball was Beadle. Only 20 but very calm and at 6'7" he's a big unit. Off to Brum for another season on loan. Think he'll end up as Brighton's number 1.Also liked Stanfield last night. Not the greatest striker but he makes up for some of his shortcomings by just being a bloody nuisance. I like frontmen who when they haven't got the ball work their socks off for the team and don't make life easy for defenders (and midfielders) .

I'll put my hands up guys - in like Cresswell.
His threat in the box is something we have lacked (admittedly less so since the arrival of Rodon) but for me the kid was never given a chance.
Thankfully though, I don't pick the team:) ) )
Glad to hear that others agree that his younger brother is even better - fingers crossed:)
