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

I think we have to be realistic about it. I'd have liked the top brass to spend a bit more and up the wage bill in order to keep progressing.

But we didn't. I think top 10 with this squad and the relative wage bill is a decent achievement. We can't be blinded by last season, because it's not the same.

Agree with this.

We won't go out throwing money around, sustainability important.

Will be the reason RDZ goes, and I'm relaxed with that.

Bizarrely with FFP I suspect we'll make some decent signings in the summer with established players being cheaper than previously.

 

[GoingUp]

Still feel like there's something in this for us.

Adam L close.

Not sure i'd call it bizarre. Bubble was always going to burst at some point, the prices couldn't keep rising.

 

[Bodian]

Why not Barco? We need a bit of pace - and someone to whip some balls in to the frontmen.

 

[Washie]

Could have been if the subs happened earlier

This Ansu Fati loan has not been great. We're paying like £10m wages for him to never start anymore

Starting against Brentford

Bizzare in that we could sign a couple of established players for less, not the whole ridiculous financial circus

After a good first half, the second has been disappointing in the extreme. We've been total passengers in the second.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Great save from Bart!

 

[GoingUp]

What a save from Bart!

 

[Littlemo]

Wonderful save

 

[Washie]

I have switched it off. It's clear RDZ wants Liverpool to win the league so he can take over the champions

 

[BBassic]

Steele would (not) have saved that

 

[GoingUp]

6mins.

 

[Zeberdi]

Great save Verbruggen- he’s done very well today.

 

[Solid at the back]

Would have taken this score pre game. Didn't get hammered, but we weren't great. Season just going to fizzle out now.

On Fati, he is shit. Should be nowhere near a PL squad. If RDZ is lucky enough to be here next season let's hope he bijns him off.

powder puff

Blimey - Dunk's moves then! Shame it came to nothing.

 

[The Mole]

Did Dunk just do a Groß turn?
