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

[BBassic]

Clean sheets? Who needs 'em?

We do. Desperately

 

[BrickTamland]

Is it soft? He pretty clearly pulls him right back. I’d be mad if we didn’t get it down the other end.

Think so. It was a pen, but we wouldn’t have got it we’re the roles reversed

 

[METALMICKY]

RDZ will be absolutely fuming and rightly so. So dominant and looking great till 5 mins before half time. Shambles end to the half

But just maybe he's drilling it too much into them to constantly play the risky stuff instead of some safe game management?

Totally in control for 40 mins, they never had a sniff. 5 mins later 2-1 down and 1 was a gimme with game management suicide.

 

[Brok]

HT 1-2

 

[BHA Fan93]

If that was steele in goal there would be hell on in this thread.

 

[Djmiles]

Cringeworthy defending. I understand wanting to play a certain way, but sometimes you have to use a bit of common sense.

 

[Si Gull]

Naive. Needed to play sensibly and see the game out to HT after conceding the first. Basic stuff.

We don't seem to be capable of doing basic stuff at the moment. Really poor game management.

Liverpool two shots on target, two goals.

 

[Swegulls]

Brilliant first 39 mins … then some cock-up. But we can still win this.

 

[BrickTamland]

Baleba looks promising on the ball, positioning could be improved though

 

[The Fits]

last season we see that out till 1-0 at half time. two incredibly soft goals. shocking defence letting us down again

Spot on. Game management and ability to defend this season is night and day from last. Nailed on we'd go in at 1-0 last season.
What the hell has happened to Dunk?

 

[Indy]

In view of the var controversy I have every confidence that Liverpool will be given a dodgy penalty today.

 

[Mancgull]

Think we are lucky to have 11 players on the pitch after the Gross pull back.
Towards the end of the half when we’ve created the tempo for 35 mins we should have slowed it down a bit and run the half down whilst 1-0 up.
We largely bossed it.
We arent out of it yet though.

 

[Washie]

Nothing dodgy about that penalty

 

[BN41Albion]

That wasn't a dodgy pen - I'd have been fuming if it wasn't given down our end

 

[The Fits]

Think so. It was a pen, but we wouldn’t have got it we’re the roles reversed

It was two pens and both would have been given by VAR no matter who they were against.

What the hell has happened to Dunk?

Spent a week being coached by Southgate.

 

[doogie004]

Yet again tippy tappy Bollox on edge of box has cost us utter shambles

 

[WhingForPresident]

Ref has been superb for Liverpool. Every 50/50 their way, 3 or 4 obvious bookinge not given and has given them a pen. Great job.

 

[Mackenzie]

Disappointing to be behind after playing so well for so long.

Still in it though and we have a good set of subs.
