Mats Wieffer

It's about having this flexibility of having many goalscorers, of having lots of players who have the desire to score." And I mean, that-- at the moment, that's, that's, that's proven now, isn't it? I mean, we've got 10 different goalscorers this season so far.

Uh, De Koijper, Hinchelwood, Kostulas, Wieffer, Boscalex, uh, Yalcuye, Gross, Vuskovic, Ayari, and probably the pick of the bunch on Sunday, Lewis Dunk.

Uh, I'm not sure how many of them he'll score this season, but 10 different goalscorers and we are scoring goals.

Charlie, w- w- what's happening here? 'Cause this is, this is, [chuckles] this is quite unique, I think, in some respects.

And I, I, I just think that fullbacks was, was an area where they obviously thought that they needed perhaps to give a little depth to the squad, particularly, particularly in the, in the right back position.

Um, they'd been looking at João Costinha for some time.

Um, if you look at obviously Max Wieffer is a, is a converted right back from being a sort of a defensive midfielder, so they needed a bit of competition down, down that right-hand side.

Uh, obviously you've got Pascal Groß, Jack Hinshelwood, they've played there before, but obviously that's not their preferred roles.

They've got quite a big in- injury list.

They've got Svedberg out, Hinchalwood out, Evan Ferguson out, uh, Mitoma, Wieffer, Minteh, Aziz, and Ruta all missing.

I mean, the manager's just, just outstanding, isn't he? We can talk about scouting and getting players in, but the, the manager's gotta get his message across.

De Kuiper, I just think he's...

Yeah.

I think we were trying to work out how they were gonna solve the Wieffer problem, and the likeliest option was Vlasic, Dunk, and Boscagli all starting, Boscagli left back, Adrogue right back, which they went for.

Mm-hmm.

Um, Vlasic started the last couple up front.

but yes, they do, they do have a few defenders who've been missing.

They've got Pascal Struijk still to come in.

Obviously Wieffer's out at the minute, which moves things around a little bit.

Um, and they've got Europe to contend with too, so obviously-

He goes, I think, now in his third season.

We have a Mats Wieffer, we have a Ferdi Kadıoğlu, we have a Pascal Struijk from Leeds, we have a Süle Zboda who's, who's also 27.

They all were captains and leaders in, in, in their teams, and they are on a good football age.

So what I demand from them now is to step up.

They've made some mistakes.

I, I think I spoke to some Brighton fans who are a bit sick of seeing Mats Wieffer at right back.

Really?

They don't really understand why Fabian Hertzler is persisting with that.
