    ****ing hell this is tough as ****.....

    For me,

    Joelinton or (Willock) - they've been the most consistent and most improved throughout the season.
    Almiron - That purple patch he had and his work rate has been a highlight
    Isak - If he'd played more he would probably have been first pick
    Wilson - class start to the season, massive **** blip then superb end. Wish he'd ****ing stay upfront when defending corners he's a ****ing liability
    Bruno - Great early season and mid season till his injury.
    Botman - Immense earlier in the campaign - don't think he's been as good lately.
    Trippier - Consistent all year but his deliveries have been doing my tits in.
    Pope - Class early season till he ****ed up prior to cup final, in my view has never recovered and his positioning sometimes is baffling.
    Schar - Been alright, not been great not been bad. his passing choices let him down a fair bit.

    For me i'd give it to Willock I reckon.

    I think he has been tbh, there have been plenty of games where I've seen Schar and Botman **** up and Dan is doing insanely good.

    He has no pace yet has dealt with some of the best wingers very well.

    He's just such a good servant. Has played most of the season outside of his natural position

    Trippier has been good overall and his leadership skills i feel are vital but he has had a few crap games aswell.

    Like Munse said, they've all done really well throughout the campaign.

    I agree with ToonBoy about Burn, he's done well, he's tried his best and he's been consistent like Tash says. However he gets roasted alive, and I mean ****ing roasted as soon as a team have someone that can pass a ball over the top to a speedy right forward with decent ball control.

    Likewise, agree with him about Tripps too. Love the gut but has been at fault for leaving his marker on a number of occasions.

    I personally don't think Schar has been great, I know some do. He's done really well in some games but not that many.

    and fwiw Tash, left back is Dan Burns natural position. its where he's played his entire Brighton career. Bit like DLP is Bruno's natural position and not more advanced like people keep harping on about.

    I think teams have sussed Botman out. When teams play it over the top and we're using the high press we get caught out as he has no pace. Its what this teams first signing should be in the summer. A speedy right sided centre back.

    Burn has looked more vulnerable more often imo.

    Also he can't cross for **** and he cant head a ball in the right spot for **** either last night being the 1 time in 100 it actually happened. same can be said for Botman. For the 2 of them being units they are ****ing **** at attacking corners

    What has that got to do with your argument of Botman and Schar over Longstaff?
    Me thinks you’ve lost your argument

    Quite frankly i don't have to give you a reason why i put them in that order.

    You can win the argument if it makes you feel better, i don't care.
