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

[BevBHA]

The general all round game was decent, but it's easy for people to focus on the negatives, as you are doing. Given the shit chucked at him this week, he has done well to get out there. Give the lad a chance to settle, some will take longer to adapt than others, particularly where 'fans' get on his back.

You can’t be largely at fault for 2 goals and offer nothing at all offensively and be deemed to have a good all round game. No sympathy for him for ‘just getting out there’ it’s his job. As a fan I’m allowed to expect players to work their bollocks off for the shirt and call it out when they dont

 

[peterward]

He was our best player

Are you a Liverpool fan..if so I agree.

I thought Wieffer was appalling. He had other players save his skin several times, and the referee did too.

3-2 down, chasing the game, ball at his feet in the centre circle with a few minutes left. He chips a cross-field ball to Adingra to challenge an aerial 50/50.

I’m very concerned about him in the same way I was Dahoud. He is miles off the ability of his teammates.

why when Salah came on and even before at 1-0 didnt we bring Welbeck on instead we made more like for like changes and Welbeck came on too late if you dont take the game seriously like our opponents thats what uou get knocked out. I fee the fans were short changed tonight

Weiffer just has to go down as an expensive mistake.

We have had some luck this season, not tonight. You cannot knock the spirit of this team. Disappointing but we are not a team that can beat a team like Liverpool without some luck imo

Really hope a witch hunt meltdown isn’t incoming tonight. We got beaten by a club that have better players than us.

No fault in first or third, but his positioning for second goal wasn't great.. easily beat at near post.

I don't think many keepers save that tbh, it was a great hit. I'm pleased Bart is number 1, but Steele has done ok tonight.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Liverpool were there for the taking in the first hqlf.
Our intensity is a problem

 

[portslade seagull]

Doubt there’s a howler so bad it could turn me into a sexist

Get off your high horse twat !!!

It’s an excellent shot, however. Low, driven shot at the near post. Not many keepers can save that one from Gakpo.

We didn’t look like beating them when it wasn’t their first team (salah, Virgil, Ali mac etc)

More skill on the ball than some of the outfield players. Bart is the better keeper but he is a good back up imo. I am not blaming him for Lamptey setting Liverpool up twice.

Got done at the near post a couple more times

Slightly below ok

 

[Whoislloydy]

Didn't take our chances, and defending cost us today. Defending for the third goal was a shambles.

 

[mile oak]

Lots of "Scousers" in the North stand tonight

any thrown out? generally i have found them a friendly bunch

 

[veuve]

Lamptey and Jason not good enough.glad Matt's put in a good performance.

I don’t think anyone beats Liverpool without a bit of luck

I think you're very quick to vent frustration on the board, without showing positivity I can be the same, but try and be a little balanced with positivity too.

Point taken I’m a very reactionary guy. But see my post a few pages ago I am complimentary tonight of Gruda, Ferguson, Welbeck, Mitoma, Igor… I think it could be a positive also that Fab may now know who’s not up to the level required

Last part has to be sarcasm?
