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

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

Definitely not carried away. He's better than Zidan and is worth $1 Trillion.

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

Dunk misplaced a pass down the middle, which happens, but then when he tried to recover he went the wrong side of his man, and out of position it was easy for Liverpool to waltz through us (IMO).

And giving it too.

And that is how you switch clubs. Class act all round.
Also good of him to have a quiet day today.

And giving it too.

He didn't want to, he was half way down the tunnel but De Zerbi chased after him, put him in a headlock and dragged him around the pitch.


The above may or may not be true

Earlier in the season Dunks came off his back onto his elbow, that was given. Have the rules changed?

That was a mistake and shouldn't have been a pen.

This one was more of a pen than that, but you can see why it's not given (as it did hit his leg first).

If you had offered me 6th place going into the October international break before the season started I would have snapped your hand off!

If I'd known you'd snap my hand off, I wouldn't have offered it.

When you write down the names of the players from both teams we really shouldn't get anywhere near Liverpool home or away,but what we don't have in superstar signings we make up for it with courage skill and executed orders from RDZ,the 2 silly goals we gifted Liverpool are of course annoying but we will get caught out against lesser teams than Liverpool playing the way we do,and currently we're in the top 6 after 8 games,I'd have taken that for sure at the start of the season.

I really enjoyed that and thought Baleba looked very Caciedo like when he first joined,I think we have a baller in Baleba,looking at our starting 11 for the first time my immediate thought was oh kinel, everyone chipped in with a performance so mustn't grumble.

Interesting to see Klopp's 'Heavy metal football' being adjusted. To overstretch the metaphor, the dominance of heavy metal has maybe been shattered by the 'quiet loud - quiet loud' of our Nirvana football*. Liverpool changing their approach are like one of those metal bands that jumped on the Seattle bandwagon: Soundgarden or Pearl Jam.

* - I guess this means that Pep's Barcelona are 'Pixies'.

The law hasn’t changed mid season but it seems to be widely misunderstood and inconsistently applied.

Lewis confirmed it was his mistake in the post match interview. But let's remember he did lots of other good stuff in the match as well including his goal of course

In his interview he mentioned the misplaced pass, but I thought it was what he did afterwards that was the bigger mistake (and yes I know he did other stuff well, I'm not getting on his back or anything)

Good game and a fair result in the end, ref got most of the big calls right (Diaz was lucky not to get a card for persistent fouling), some real positives for us (Adingra, Baleba, March at LB) including a set piece goal ! Good for (some of) the squad to have a couple of weeks now to recharge and get over some niggles and time for RdeZ to ingrain the ‘system’ a bit more. 6th place at this stage is a good with 3 ‘top’ teams played already (and not lost to any of them).

Two mistakes attempting to play out from the back cost us two goals. Need to iron out these silly mistakes. Great that we comeback for the 2nd match in a row

I don't know what is happening to him, maybe trying to cover too much ground?.. trying to be all things to all men.... Igor today, started to look a good find to share that defensive load ... hope his injury isn't too sinister.

Just had a quick look at RAWK. Blimey, every other post saying the ref cost them 3 points. I could understand the odd comment or two, but there were so many.

They always blame the refs, even when the ref does nothing wrong. The phrase “Always cheated, never defeated” was written with them in mind.

If it's that I imagine it's under instruction. I'm sure he'll work it out with Roberto. Can't complain with the number of goals we're scoring, but a clean sheet one day would be nice.

Alright that.
