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

[Seagull58]

Estupinan is not good enough unfortunately as I do like him. I know that Salah is very good but you don't let him on to his left foot, end of story. He made too many mistakes today, at least in the second half.

Oh please. Don't turn on Perv. He was fine today.

 

[Wes Tupper]

At least Yellow Jacket got his comeuppance.

 

[Seagull58]

Absolutely steaming about this result, the lads didn't deserve it.

Sorry but Pervis has been off the pace and touch since returning, is he really the best we have?

Yes, he absolutely is.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Yes, he absolutely is.

Really, he isn't a great defender in my eyes, I like the lad I just only like his forward play.

were loose

Very correct, Dear Friend

Really disappointed with his defending for both goals. So lacklustre. Played Nunez on then let Salah inside for the second. He didn't put anything resembling a tackle in and didn't seem bothered that Salah was shooting. The absolute opposite of Hurzelar's 'being wuthless' bollocks. f***ing tell them it's not good enough. We played well today but we're too fragile or if I'm being unkind weak. No Shame in losing to Liverpool mind.

Yep, we deserved something from the game, but any momentum we were building in the second half was disrupted by favouring Liverpool. Great example was Mitoma being manhandled to the ground by "Trent" in the penalty box. Would have been a soft penalty, but Pervis was following up to cross and the ref blows for a foul to Liverpool.... Fine margins.

Brighton player touches a Liverpool player with his hand - free kick to Liverpool. Sala spent the second half holding off Pervis with his hand - always a free kick to Liverpool.

Yep had a women and two kids next to me, when I said to her turn it got a mouthful

I'd be tempted to email the club with the seat numbers - however they ended up with the tickets, it's very wrong.

But didn't you see the way that Pervis's shirt grabbed hold of Salah's hand and wouldn't let go?

It was the one straight after half-time that annoyed me. Even caught the commentator out - the whistle went and he said 'a foul by Gapko', then rather bemusedly said ' free-kick to Liverpool' but made no actual other reference to the incident. Set the tone for the half I thought.

I was actually polite and said tone it down , the women was a proper freak and feel sorry for her son who got the biggest rollocking ever

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ref 100% gave Liverpool 50/50 decisions that he waved away when Albion would have been the beneficiaries in other events in the second half. Weak or influenced by Liverpool fans.

His bias influenced the result imo

Fab seems to agree with you re the 50/50’s

Listen around the 50 second mark

 

[Justice]

I said at HT that I was worried because this season we’ve generally had one good half and one bad one. And 1st half we were very good. If we can learn how to string two good halves together, we’ll be flying.

The opposition manger tweaks the formation and Fabian can’t react, to counter it. That’s why we only play one good half.

 

[Beanstalk]

Oh please. Don't turn on Perv. He was fine today.

Yeah he had a very good game, and let’s be serious, Salah is better football than most footballers.

Actually Pervis dealt with him exceptionally well aside from the goal which was a bit of flawless play.

 

[Weststander]

Excellent MOTD analysis from Joe Hart, I didn’t realise he knew his outfield onions. Highlighting the intensity, the sprints of Albion first half, defensive closing down. Ferdi and Estupinan were tired come the last half hour from that, Liverpool upped their game in playing with intensity. He felt Estupinan was running on empty when Salah turned him.

Joe Hart seems to have appeared from nowhere as a pundit. He's brilliant at it!

though he sounded like reading from a script.

 

[TugWilson]

When the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly said something very close to that, he was joking!

NO he wasn`t , which is why he is quoted so often and respected for that attitude

 

[Weststander]

Presumably they all make notes and read/refer to them. It rarely feels off the cuff, other than Roy The Assassin Keane.

No mention of the poor refereeing today
