Watched the game and thought you played really well. Gross should have earned you a point with that header.

Liverpool aren’t the brilliant free scoring team the media proclaimed after their first game, that was just an utterly dreadful West Ham performance which made them look brilliant. Both Brighton and Palace could feel they deserved more than they got in their respective games against Liverpool.

They may sit top of the league but I doubt very much they’ll stay there.

This week, the Albion have truly arrived in the PL. CH’s doing - no longer do we sit back, we press, we have pace from all angles supporting the striker and he even makes positive substitutions earlier.

Bissouma was quality and will be a star.

 

[BensGrandad]

A generally good performance but punished for 1 sloppy bit of control by Bissouma but he will learn.

Impressive performance, in a way more so than the Man U game.

Don’t blame you for feeling bitter about Liverpool. Their last 5 games at Selhurst LLLLL and the brilliant ref on Monday night rightly punished the multiple foul by Sakho (as verified by all ex refs and pundits).

Our tried and tested home side don't perform away from the Amex.
Really think the new players should be given more chances like today.
Their pace gave us an out ball which meant we got behind the Liverpool lines.
Murray should have been on the bench and Locadia up front.
Apart from Bissouma being taken off the team that finished the game is the one we should have started with.

I thought Murray was the best player on the pitch! Never seen him run so much. He has been superb imo. It can't last.

I was wondering that earlier and came to conclusion that might be the case, but not something I can agree to without hindsight.

If from now the squad do what they couldn't last season, and go on to get xx points on the road with some decent wins, then definitely today's performance will better the one v Utd.

Bitter?

I’ve just complemented your teams performance and all you just want to do is talk about Palace.

Weird.

Sorry I must disagree as you couldnt be more wrong if you tried.

The reason we lost was because we didnt press them far enough up the pitch and allowed them too much time and space and had it not been for our back 4 and GK we would have lost by more. We didnt attempt to tackle them until they virtually reached our box.

We have pace when certain players are on but not with our starting XI


The first substitution was at 75 mins hardly early.

I agree about but Bissouma but it is ironical that one piece of sloppy control from him cost us the game. It was an encouraging performance and will enable us to beat many teams this season.

Everyone knows ManC will win the PL. The bookies make them massive favourites. The best squad of players on the planet.

Found your obvious bitterness about Liverpool (read your post) weird. Could only emanate from anger that they’d done you yet again and you’d taken bitter Roy’s propaganda hook, line & sinker. CP were 10 athletic bruisers harrying them, but were beaten by a football team. Brighton today played football.

At least we gave them a scare which many thought we wouldn't seeing as most believed we were in for a drubbing

I was there and got a total view of the match, unlike BT cameras which follow the ball.

The Albion’s new tactics and performance were as I described. As the game wore on, our support got louder and louder as it payed dividends with openings. Bissouma was class in so many ways, bringing a new dimension to our CM, missing for a long time. The proof is in the pudding - just a goal conceded, after last season’s 9.

It's what I'd call a damning with faint praise.

The congratulations in the first paragraph are magnanimous and thanks for that. Then you go on to basically slate Liverpool. Based around the fact that you lost 2-0 at home and we only lost 1-0 away I guess you had to. But we both lost. Liverpool won both games playing poorly and only good sides do that. They have every chance of winning the league and they've confirmed the pair of us as likely mid-table triers.

balogun shouldn't have passed it to him. they'll both learn

 

[saafend_seagull]

Playing bissouma made a massive difference, hopefully plays all away games.
