Was quite entertaining - and loud - first half when the two sets of fans took turns trying to out-sing each other with AL-BI-ON and LI-VER-POOL

Game of opinions - as always. Thought Ferguson looked sharper than he has for a calendar year. Equal game amongst two changed sides. Liverpool clinical, Albion not so.

Thought we played well, and were slightly unlucky to lose yesterday. A good all round performance.
Lots of positives, Gruda, Igor, both excellent, Ferguson getting minutes on the pitch and looking a little sharper.
Lamptey was excellent going forward, but not strong enough defensively, I love his character, but my abiding memory of him defensively was getting robbed. Itās frustrating because heās a talented player and I really want him to do well. I do fear for Steele a little, he is still playing ultra high-risk De Zerbi ball, when nobody else is. I like him, but prefer Bart as our No 1.
No shame at all in that performance, and a useful trial run for the league match at Anfield.

Great first half, two wonderful goals and a great save kept the Reds in control. Really interesting at 2-1, but at 3-1 didnāt think the result was in doubt even when Brighton got a fluky second to make it 3-2.
Not impressed by Wieffer so far but some players need more time, good example is Gakpo who has been outstanding.
Looking forward to Saturday, Brighton need to pressure Robbo as he has been nowhere near his best and press high as usual!
Gruda looks like another fantastic buy if heās allowed to develop.
All in all a decent game with the right result, also have to say the āAlbion/Liverpoolā chant had me in tears for many reasons and my dear departed da would have loved that moment.
First time I've been disappointed to hear the 'we support our local club' chant afterwards. Everyone was getting on so nicely!Was quite entertaining - and loud - first half when the two sets of fans took turns trying to out-sing each other with AL-BI-ON and LI-VER-POOL

Same thoughts here, the huge Lamptey deflection was followed by no Albion threat. I thought Curtis Jones and Gakpo had outstanding games, Jones ran CM, so creative and probing. Robertson now past the tipping point, heās lost a couple of yards. Even with his largely second string, you could already see an evolution with Slotās coaching, more solid.
That chanting was so strange, the last time I can remember teaming up with opposition fans, was the Amex crowd joining with Wolves fans to attack their p1ss taking relegation team with Jamie OāHara!
A few years back when we played Lincoln City in the FA Cup both sets of fans were singing "we're top of the league" together, which was fun.
Then we gave up a 0-1 lead to lose 3-1 with the goalie getting injured while giving away a penalty and somebody scoring an own goal. Which was less fun.
ā¦ā¦ā¦..so much so Iāve seen multiple posts from someone on FB I know who is a āscouserā (spoiler - from Haywards Heath) with pics of himself in the North with his (Albion) mate smugly grinning.
That said, if itās ok for Lewis then

He needs to play in a back 5 where there is a bit more cover but allows him to get forward , going forward he was very good.I love Lamptey. He has excellent work ethic. However, Iām not sure if he is good enough to play for Brighton anymore. Even since his injury, he hasnāt been the same

well there were coach loads of them going back north...... people shouldn't conflate hangers on with the genuine Liverpool supporters.

In many ways we already have this with the 1901 section but what if the club introduced a 'neutral' section for any fans and you can mix home and away fans? Its not like everyone wants to pick a fight and clearly when you have guest tickets some fans bring a mate form the opposition and they are not all loud mouthed kn0bs? Would that work? If not sure it would but if we had one small section that might keep the away fans out of the home sections and yet still sell the tickets especially for games like the league cup that never sell out? might need a general code of conduct especially for this section, not sure if this has ever been done elsewhere at top levels?
I'm viscerally opposed to anything that makes us more like Fulham or Swiss foreign policy.

He needs to not play at the back.

Yes, I agree. RWB would probably be the perfect position for Lamptey in a five back formation.
