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

[Motogull]

We'd better get a wriggle on here due to other commitments.

Not sitting in our ST seats so a slightly different match day experience beckons.

They will want revenge and we have to rise above Moise's situation. f*** you, his agent. Right up the arse.

I have a distinct lack of enthusiasm for this game at the moment with all that’s going on. Hopefully that will change once I’m there

THats what I was thinking . . . The game the other week was amazing and I instantly got a ticket for today . . .but its all been a bit depressing this week, starting to feel like the bullies are ripping our guts out.

I'm sure a brisk ride to Falmer on a Blue and white Italian shopping bike will help elevate the enthusiasm.

 

[Official Old Man]

Full house with 4500 away fans making some noise. The whole EPL big boys thing really has put a dampner on my mojo right now. But a rare opportunity to take Granddaughter who really enjoys her day out. Down the front so she will be screaming for us.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

It’s a reversal in terms of injuries/missing key players. In the league they were missing Nunez and Van Dyjk, now we’re missing Colwill, Lallana and Caicedo. It doesn’t bode well.

The drive there and back in an Italian car is currently more appealing than the game to me

Not really. They still have shed loads of injuries, more than us. Plus vvd still out.

Everyone feeling negative but Liverpool are still trash at the moment

 

[Oh_aye]

Hoping the boys rise above the Trossard/Caicedo shenanigans and make a big statement here. I can imagine Dunky, Gross and a few others being really up for this game. Here's hoping.

Same here. I hope they use it as motivation. 8 don't think players trying to enjoy their season focus like being fùcked around either.

 

[rudolf hucker]

Likewise mojo has taken a dive the last few days. Nothing that a win would change. Fingers crossed

I understand the sentiment, but I think it's for everyone attending to come out fighting. I'm expecting half the stadium to be liverpool fans as it is!

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited

This.
It's still completely down to us and what team turns up, we still have enough quality

 

[Gazwag]

Just hope everyone gets behind the team today, home cup matches are usually pretty dreadful for atmosphere. Early goal for us would be nice

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Fun fact

Neil Swarbrick was the VAR in the first ever English domestic football match to have a VAR.

As much as I hate VAR, I do like this as a quiz question as the answer to ‘Who scored the first goal referred to VAR in English football and who was it against?’ Will always be Glenn Murray for Brighton against Crystal Palace.

 

[Guinness Boy]

The pessimist in me says this is Liverpool all day long. They'll have come up with a strategy after last time and we're missing the players who are key to ours.

The optimist says RDZ will take the negative energy of the last few days and use it to turbo charge the 11 starters, whoever they are, finishing with the Italian for "lads, it's Liverpool" before we go out and smash it.

We'll see which bit of me was right at about half three.

 

[Gabbafella]

Feeling distinctly meh about today. Sore throat, snotty nose and a lack of sleep on top of all the Trossard and Caicedo bollocks has my mojo feeling a bit deflated.
Hopefully a few sherbets will lift the spirits and the team put in another stellar performance.

If RDZ is as pissed off as most of us are he could well motivate the players to come out firing on all cylinders, we do need to do our bit as well. A good start and it could be a fantastic day.

Not thinking of the alternative scenario.

 

[dazzer6666]

They created virtually nothing against Wolves. Nothing to fear

 

[portlock seagull]

Same. The whole Caicedo thing has really put a dampener on it for me, and I was really hoping we might have a proper go at the cup this year. Ho hum.

Agree. If players read NSC, this is how you can completely kill the mood by your actions. So thanks a lot MC, a real class act on the pitch. Less so off it. As always, not that you want away, it’s all about how you go about. Not the first, sadly definitely won’t be the last.

Excelling family upbringing, to be congratulated - especially when all the plastic ‘scousers’ break cover in the home stands.

We’re absolutely massive
