Excellent first half performance although I think Liverpool will get a goal.

Great half and unlucky to only be 1 up!!

 

[Birdie Boy]

Really impressed with Brighton so far.

Says stevie wonder! but no,, I agree!

 

[trueblue]

Magnificent half. Great movement. Shame we couldn't add to the lead... long 45 mins ahead, but every chance we can get another ourselves

What a brilliant first half!

Listening on 5 live and we've been superb according to them and we should be out of sight!

Very dynamic through the midfield.

I don’t think Fab needs a defensive midfielder, he just needs a midfield that’s on it, high energy, covering each other, attack together, defend together.

Could all go wrong second half, but the first half is perhaps where we really start seeing what Fab’s tactics are about.

 

[The Wookiee]

Probably the first time this season that we haven’t gifted the opposition an opportunity to score, very few mistakes or misplaced passes - just need to defend the inevitable onslaught and maybe nick a goal on the counter

Almost perfect that half...

Stunning from Hinshelwood and Ayari so far, and the pressing from the front has been phenomenal. Very much in line with Hürzeler's messaging re: strikers as the first line of defence

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

That was a f***ing exhilarating half of football.

Comfortably the best/most enjoyable performance so far under FH. I'm not sure we can keep it up because the pace and intensity we're playing at will surely take it's toll but what a fantastic first 45 minutes.

If this is what a FH team really looks like then I am fully on board.

Do love these kind of “peek behind the curtains” things, interesting thanks

McAllister will get sent off second half

 

[wellquickwoody]

Well done everyone so far, happy to have been overthinking. Long may it continue.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Great first half performance that. Proper Hürzeler ball starting to kick in.

Given that we're away to one of the top 3 sides, we've played brilliantly, but Liverpool have had a couple of good chances too. There's not been much in it IMO.
