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

[Cheeky Monkey]

He has recently, terrible today, that’s ‘s why we are letting him go to Madrid !

Mardy little twat who you'll be pleased to see the back of

 

[Deadly Danson]

Not his fault the result but he is utter shite.....adds absolutely nothing!

Oh do behave. Perhaps just support for a change. Imagine on the back of that result the one scapegoat is Wieffer. Ridiculous and tragic.

 

[BBassic]

Steele, the Ref, Wieffer and Webster all caused this loss.

I'm sure Danny Ings was involved as well. I just need to prove it.

 

[BN41Albion]

And those 'passionate' fans very briefly made an atmosphere after going 2-1 up. What's not to like?

Fair enough - the 'famous' atmosphere is mostly shyte like everywhere in the UK most of the time, but you can't deny the real scousers are generally pretty passionate about their football club. f*** the plastics though

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

The ref had a Liverpool bias , which normally happens at Anfield. The bindippers should have been 2 nil down in the first half.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Is it me, or have we suddenly got more fans who are former Premier League managers?

 

[Deadly Danson]

I don't get this chucking points away today. Surely Liverpool earned their points, it's not like we scored two own goals or gave away two blatant pens.

Exactly. How on earth is FH responsible for us conceding two quick goals against the best team in the country.

not his fault but why not have a pop anyway just because, am i right?

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Why would anyone go to the gym in the middle of Brighton playing Liverpool?

Because I have a life outside of football and NSC

 

[Forster's Armband]

Can’t fault the players in the main, excellent first half, they battled in the second half but we are never going to survive playing like that for 45 mins against them.

Still massive question marks over Hurzeler for me. Yeah I know we are seventh or whatever (f***ing Forest are third) but we are literally chucking points away on a regular basis. He may well come good eventually, but I just don’t see him getting us into Europe this season. If TB is ok with that and sees it as a longer term thing, then fine I guess.

Yeah, you're right lets not give him any space to develop as a coach! We have a whole host of new players, he's new to the league we've lost 2 games (away to Liverpool and Chelsea). I am frustrated we threw away the lead but to be negative about him after 10 games is silly. You mention Forest but they've had an easier first 10 than us. The only teams they've played of note are Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle. We've had Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, Man United, Spurs and Chelsea. He's doing a good job, there's obviously room for improvement (I think he needed to have got Wieffer or Baleba on before they scored when It was clear they were on top) but he is learning and I am pretty confident with Matt O'Riley, Joao Pedro, Dunk, Minteh, Milner and March to come back he can get us into Europe.

Seems like we are back to being plucky under RDZ with a fit squad we were a threat

Ah well. Very good performance and a lot of encouragement. Thought the homer ref helped Liverpool build the pressure significantly by giving almost every 50-50 as a free kick against us.

Would love to see some offside lines on the equaliser. Nunez definitely made a movement at the ball which deceived Bart. If he WAS in an offside position when Gakpo crossed it and that's not deemed to be offside, then the law is officially a joke. A replay of the challenge on Gruda would have been nice too. Not because it particularly looked like a foul, just because it would be the norm in that scenario. Amazing how two of the quickest VAR checks ever just happen to occur when it's one of the title favourites at home.

Edit: As mentioned later, have seen a video from the stand showing Nunez was clearly onside regardless. Easy enough to tell from the lines on the pitch.

 

[Krafty]

It was actually a really good game. I enjoyed it. We showed the standard we can play at. hard to play like that for a whole 90 minutes against a top of the table team.

Thought our performance was good overall. The referee's performance was awful on the other hand.

 

[birthofanorange]

Great start - shit end.
The End.
Welcome to BHA.

I know it's weak to blame the ref, but the ref in the second half just gave them everything.

I'm not blaming the ref as such, but the decisions that went for Liverpool early in the second half contributed to the swing in momentum.

This for what I saw.

Exactly. How on earth is FH responsible for us conceding two quick goals against the best team in the country.

He should have made subs earlier, it was blindingly obvious that Liverpool were getting on top, with the ref’s help before the first goal. Not hindsight, I was screaming for subs before the goal. Ayari especially and hoped Baleba would be brought on

Been like that forever

Oh well, I felt we were fabulous today. Few teams will give Liverpool that sort of game (they look like they’re going to really challenge City for the title). Both teams were remarkably positive and composed throughout and the game could’ve gone either way at any point.

In a perfect world we go in 2-0 up at half-time but we could’ve also gone in 2-1 down (ball hitting Veltman on line and great Bart save).

I think Tony Harrington’s bizarre second half performance led to the game becoming too frantic with decisions absolutely favouring Liverpool and it probably meant we lost the ability to control the game. Not much more we could’ve done for me.

 

[A1X]

I couldn't care less about them, but calling the most successful football club in England with a very passionate local following (not their fault they have plastics all round the world too) a shit club with shit fans made me chuckle

Man Utd are the second most successful club, and they’re a shit club with **** fans too.

I just hate them marginally less than Liverpool.
