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

[Steve in Japan]

Dare I say it, an excellent first half. Very impressed.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Too many negative waves on here. We’ve given as good as they have. Well placed to get something out of this. Some of our wall passing has been exemplary.

 

[Bodian]

Not often you see stats like this for us.

 

[oldboyroy]

What ARE they booing about now?

The ref and our time-wasting I imagine. They don't like the fact they're not winning so far

 

[birthofanorange]

How can we compete so well in this game yet get thrashed by Luton or Fulham ?

Football, innit?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

The ref I imagine.

No they're entitled like every big team supporters.

 

[Bodian]

It's because this is RDZs interview according to some.

Including the commentator!

We are competing well? They’ve had most of the ball and we keep losing it. Thought we’ve had some good breaks, I thought we’ve been poor overall.

 

[Mancgull]

Diaz was onside when Salah headed it.

Yes, on seeing it again, he was. Two of their players were off but not Diaz.
We are still in the game but it’s going to be a tough second half.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Doing ok. Got to stop Mac playing in Salah. One time that will lead to a goal.
Be tboverall playing well, one unlucky deflection, as always

 

[Sheebo]

Really good considering we could’ve been destroyed today. Think they win by 2 but at least we’re giving it a go. Crowd refereeing the game which is annoying and ref bottling yellows to them.

 

[trueblue]

Cracking game. Great half. Albion good enough to go toe to toe with a line-up like that is wonderful, especially with all the injuries. Mitoma could have ripped them up down that wing

 

[Sheebo]

Yes, on seeing it again, he was. Two of their players were off but not Diaz.

Want to see if it was a corner as our players weren’t convinced and the ref clearly guessed…

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

This Bradley guy is pretty decent.

Good coming forward and when he can be tight to a player in the tackle but he hasn’t like Adingra running at him.

 

[Diablo]

Football, innit?

Bring on Arsenal and City !!

 

[Guinness Boy]

The ref.

They’re far too aggressive in the tackle. We’ve been buying free kicks like sweeties in a pick n mix. Gomez should definitely be in the book.

 

[A1X]

That MacAllister’s a good player, I wonder what Liverpool paid for him? Bet whoever sold him must feel like right mugs.

 

[fruitnveg]

Broadly speaking, Very happy with the first half. No glaring errors or moments of stupidity. Yes, I include Veltman for the goal. he naturally tried to stop the ball going through, as a defender, he can't be blamed for that.

Decent going forward, Decent at the back, don't look particularly shaky. If I had to pick holes, I'm not convinced with Lamptey at RW with his new lack of pace (He's not big and strong either so gets bullied, not his fault, but it is what it is). We don't have any real options for the position either though.

 

[Exilegull]

Some nice football from us but we cant let Salah have another 7 shots

 

[Zeberdi]

Hang in there boys till half time at least

It’s been a very good first half for us - a spell of good defending and we are looking strong in MF. The yellow on Gross I think rattled us - we were pounded quite heavily in the 10 minutes leading to the equaliser

Might bring on Igor - Baleba is doing well but Gross is struggling. Barco and Facu might be options to spruce up our attacking midfield area Moder has looked a little like a spare sandwich at a picnic while Danny doing most of the work - he won’t manage 90 minutes.
