[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool *** Official Match Thread ***

[maffew]

How is Klopp arrogant? He is a passionate manager who wears his heart on his sleeve. I'd rather have him at my club than some journeyman manager. He thought carefully before taking that job. I haven't seen much arrogance from him.

Outside of Chris, I'd rate him as one of the best guys to have in the position. Yes, you might expect better results, but for focus and fairness he is up there with CH.

Have to agree, except for Chris he is my favourite prem manager, always respectful. In fact he reminds me of Chris bit in how he conducts himself

Rubbish.

Mourinho, Allerdyce, Pardew, Wenger - all lack humility, are awful losers, arrogant winners (with Pardew, that's a rare occasion), one-eyed, struggle to praise opponents and Mourinho bitches.

Jose praised us last week, other than that spot on, apart from the omission of Eddie Howe, although he might be more smug than arrogant, either way he’s a prick.

COme on you super SEEEEEEEAAGULLLLLLLLSS

Like Fergie, Mourinho (with all three points in the bag), often doesn't slag off non-threat clubs. Unless the opponents have angered him during the game.

Wenger wins on the arrogance stakes, on that facet, I reckon.

Someone has eaten all the pies apparently

Were they reheated or did they finish cooking them at the Amex?

We could see one of the back 4 sent off today, speed of Mane / Salah sees a through ball over the top / through a gap and they get pulled down. Can’t even sit deep as all that will do is give Coutinho space

We just said the same. Dunk pulling back Salah clean away.

Bloody hope not. W, D or L, no bans. Not worth taking a red for the team in this one game.

Has anyone had anything stolen yet?

Not actually stolen, but for a little while I thought somebody might have lost their hatred of all things scouse, but I see that I was mistaken.

 

[Weststander]

Matip out.

Erratic Lovren in = a big plus for Murray.

That's .... unexpected.

I suspect a certain thread will be receiving a bounce this evening one way or another.

 

[clarkey]

That's a Liverpool team set up with a 'we're going to score more than you' philosophy. Back 4 looks weak - real chance to get at them

 

[clarkey]

Matip out.

Erratic Lovren in = a big plus for Murray.

And a central midfielder playing alongside him. Robertson hasn't played a huge amount this year and Alexander-Arnold is talented but inexperienced. Let's sling some crosses into the box.

 

[martin tyler]

Looks like Can and Lovren CB for pool. Got to get quality in there for Murray to attack

 

[Perfidious Albion]

So, both wingers start on the bench and Brown comes in. A more cautious approach. .....

Bit of a surprise, that. Straight replacement for March/Izquierdo, or are we going to see a change of formation/tactics?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

As well as we've done so far, this could be our first walloping. I really fear what Liverpool could do to us, Salah, Coutinho and Mane are flying and the rest of the team are no fluffs. So, we win 2-1.

Controversial

Maybe soak it up first half and go kamikaze second and have Solly tear them one. Odd decision

I doubt it too much, squad rotation, resting players for Wednesday
