Please let's nip this 'bottlers' tripe in the bud. We're all gutted about this and Wolves, but these things happen in football matches. We held on against Newcastle, we did the same at Arsenal, we won late against United and came from two down to beat Spurs. It works both ways for every team. The label is an absolute f'ng nonsense.
I have to agree but I love watching him. It’s a joy.

100%. Lots of people on that board lacking any sense of perspective.
Aren`t referees supposed to give every foul ??
I’ve been everywhere looking for a scapegoat since the end of the game. Can’t find any but I’m still looking hard.

Unfortunately a game is for 90 mins plus injury time. Same thing last time out collapsed in the second half against Wolves. When the opposition manager makes a formation change second half FH can’t or won’t adapt to it.

We are not bottlers just not quite there yet. I think O'Riley will make a difference and March and Pedro and Gomez and Dunk...
The inexperience showed in the 2nd half. Brighton needed to show some of the composure that came at 2-1 down when Liverpool equalised. It was a fortunate goal by Gakpo, but then Estupiñán made a terrible mistake when he allowed Salah to cut inside onto his left foot.
Rutter is raw. He needs to learn when to release it quicker. He's very talented though. He can dribble past players and shield the ball well. He just need to mature a bit. Pick his battles. He could be transformed a year from now.
Ayari was brilliant. Hinshelwood was solid.
Mitoma could genuinely be a top LW if he had an extra yard or two in terms of pace. He isn't slow, he caused them a lot of problems. TAA was able to recover at times. That extra speed would take him all the way. Still a good player regardless.

Spot on. We needed some fresh legs on before they scored but it was too late by the time we did.

Yep, we deserved something from the game, but any momentum we were building in the second half was disrupted by favouring Liverpool. Great example was Mitoma being manhandled to the ground by "Trent" in the penalty box. Would have been a soft penalty, but Pervis was following up to cross and the ref blows for a foul to Liverpool.... Fine margins.

Disagree - Lamptey could have come on in the higher position on the right that he did in the last two games , Kadioglu could have joined the defence in a CDM role and Enciso and Adingra could have given us speed and potential chances up the pitch in place of Ayari and a tired looking Georginio and Hinshelwood .

...
Aspinall said that.
He was fine in the first half, very inconsistent in the second when the atmosphere ramped up.
I’m not putting the loss on him at all, but I’ve seen a couple of people on Twitter argue that FH should’ve made subs earlier to defend the lead. I just think it was an incredibly difficult task for the Albion to withstand that storm and get control of the game when every 50/50 went to Liverpool. Obviously, nothing huge that turned the game, but it stopped us from getting a grip on a frantic game.
