There was a nudge on Rutter by vanDijk as he went to shoot but the ball ended up in Kelleher's arms.

I can't forgive him for what he did in 1983 to lose us the FA cup!!!

Don't get the criticism of Hurzeler's lack of subs today. Liverpool could bring on quality attackers after an hour. Ideally, our response would have been to bring on defenders (we had only Lamptey), or someone to regain midfield control (Baleba obviously not fit enough to be risked). Had we had the wise old heads on the bench that he didn't use, you could blame him, but he didn't. Defensively, his options were fairly thin.

Thought we were magnificent, draw would have been a fair result, but.. Mo Salah, always scores against us. Great game. We destroyed them first half. Velts swan dives have been rumbled by refs (shame) McA, was lucky not to get a second yellow, Big Bart was immense. Well played lads.

Come on lads.
I’m Brighton through and through and I thought the ref was fine today. He generally let the play flow, wasn’t card happy, and got wise to some of our trying to win freekicks, particularly Veltman’s forward flop.
He had no bearing on the result today, and that’s my measure of a referee when we lose. We’d have lost the match just the same if it were Collina in the middle.
We squandered our chances in the first half, they came back with the crowd behind them and a chance to go/stay top, turned on the quality for the second goal, and punished us.
Like I said, good performance, ran their bollocks off, just not quite enough against a very good team. If we’d played that well against say, Ipswich, that would’ve made up for the three points difference.
Nothing due on the Europe tracker for this or the next one, relax. That was very solid today and promising for next week to get bonus points.

I just hate losing.
Any club that beats us, is a shit club; all their fans are really ****; all their players cheating, useless, overpriced twats - all except us. Werebrilliant. All the refs when we lose are shit. All their decisions are really shit. Cheating, useless, thick twats.
F*** them all.

Enough with the Wiefer hate - he did alright. (I know it wasn’t you DD)

Agree, that's the problem!
Just seen an angle from a fan's camera on X... Estupinan, I think, was a few yards deeper than the CBs when Gakpo launched his fluke, so Nunez was definitely onside. At least it puts that to bed.
If that's the case what's the point of taking him to Anfield ?
It is not a popular opinion as it is nonsense. FH has made an excellent start and we played very well today with Pedro, Baleba and Dunk not fit enough to start. We were unlucky not to get a point.

Amazing you call me a “Bindipper” when you have Grimsby in your name, even their football club is in Cleethorpes! Try pulling yourself out of the bad side of the 80’s and enjoy Brightons best ever football

Ten a penny in every game, never given.
Albion-loving Aspinall said the ref excuse by a fans texting in was just that, the ref allowed a load of Albion challenges which LFC players called for fouls.
With Arsenal some of us have become the most moany fanbase about officials, 7 years of it, including on Wednesday evening in a fair contest. Thank god for the ignore threads option when the booing starts after a non win.

Pretty much how I saw it, thought we were great.
I thought the ref was fine btw, especially when we were winning.
Agreed. Seemed sensible to save our final roll of the dice until the last 5 or 10 minutes. We'd played so well. Opening up soon after Salah scored would probably have just added another goal or two to Liverpool's tally.
