Brighton 3-1 Newcastle United: Your take on Saturday’s game

29 minutes ago

We asked your opinion on Saturday’s game between Brighton and Newcastle.

Here are some of your comments:

Dean: Great football with fantastic fluency that put Newcastle to shame. Ferguson’s performance was great – the hat-trick has likely added another £30m to his value.

David: The new players signed late in the transfer window must be absolutely delighted to have signed for the Seagulls. All round brilliant performance.

George: When will Billy Gilmour get the honor of being one of the best young playmakers in British football? But Brighton are now the new Borussia Dortmund when it comes to nurturing great young talent and may have one of the most progressive and best managers in Europe.

Mick: A very physical side from Newcastle got exactly what they deserved. For the first time this season, BHA achieved the agility that has been their trademark since the arrival of De Zerbi. So many players have stepped up after last week’s setback. Ferguson’s hat-trick capped a wonderful performance from the entire team.

Ward: It’s a worrying trend as Eddie got his tactics and substitutions wrong for the third game in a row. Newcastle play with pride, passion and high speed, but it just hasn’t been shown enough. We also need the big players to show up soon – Bruno, Joelinton, Isak to name just three.

Christopher: It’s disheartening to see a Newcastle team overworked, under-played and underplayed. A few settings need adjusting, and soon. Kudos to the Newcastle fans who traveled south and stood by their side after the final whistle.

Benny: Bad all over the pitch. The only positive was Isak, who played well despite having to retreat into midfield to get the ball. We missed Botman. Burn and Targett looked uncomfortable and I dread to imagine how they will fare against Champions League opponents. There’s a lot to do at the break and I would consider leaving out players who aren’t performing.

Stephen: Eddie Howe was the man who fixed the team and he’s done very well – we’ve entered a new phase and he’s not the man for that phase – he has to go now.
