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

[macbeth]

take a point every day of the week against liverpool. finally a goal from a set piece and we really should’ve won it with that chance at the end. and would’ve done if we weren’t so self destructive at the back. but then again liverpool really should’ve made it 3-1 with that gravenberch chance. given how shaky we look right now, will happily take a point.

 

[Icy Gull]

Disappointing. Pedro should have scored and we should have had a penalty.

Barn door Billy in open play sadly, not for the first time.

I think decisions were loaded towards Liverpool though, so I’ll take that

March overlooked for MOTM imo

 

[US Seagull]

Nice to see all smiles from both teams at the end.

 

[Bodian]

After going behind I'll settle for that, although we could/should have won.

They 'should' have been 3-1 up though.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Should have won, we chucked the game away in a mad 10 minutes but happy with a draw and some good performances to go with it.

 

[portlock seagull]

Kind of relieved that’s over

Excellent game - end to end but what a wasted opportunity from Pedro.

Same for them though, their young lad as a sub. 2-2 will do me.

 

[Littlemo]

Seeing their pen back, we are lucky Gross didn’t get sent off tbh

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

The spirit was great, again coming back to get a draw.
Annoyed we didn't get 3 points.
Liking Baleba alot. He could be special in time.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Yes to the first. No to the second.

Carragher was saying his hand was in a natural position, but it was perpendicular to his body. The only reason for that can be to instinctively touch the ball away.

 

[Seagull58]

I'll repeat what I said when he came on for his debut, I don't want to get carried away but Baleba is better than Caicedo and Bissouma combined

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Lots of positives - Beleba, Adingra and March was great out of position

 

[Krafty]

Should've won that match in my opinion, but it is still a good point.

 

[BN41Albion]

A bitter sweet result.

Relief that we were able to come back and salvage a point, and survived a late Liverpool onslaught.

But disappointing we gifted them those two goals with woeful defending, and Joao Pedro missing that opportunity to win the game.

Comforting myself that they also missed a proper sitter which would've made it 1-3 and very tricky to come back from

 

[Arthritic Toe]

The 'penalty' was knee deflected on to hand - so not a penalty.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Eurgh, the Joao Pedro miss... Will take it though.

Baleba and Adingra did very well today. Igor wasn't bad either.

 

[Affy]

Decent point and much much better performance. Baleba and Igor both looked good today. Adingra showing promise. Missing a sitter and not getting a penalty but looked much better than in the last few games.

 

[British Bulldog]

Take that as a good well earned point.

I don't think their first was poor defending, they carved through us, playing quick incisive 1 touch passes. Was a good goal.

Second however was an absolute gimme caused by poor decision making, and a poor unnecessary pass by Verbruggen.

 

[Mackenzie]

Good game, good advert for the league.

 

[BN41Albion]

Disappointing. Pedro should have scored and we should have had a penalty.

We shouldn't have going by the rules of the game
