[Football] Was that our best ever League performance?

[Richy_Seagull]

It was utterly, stupendously good. A joy to watch from minute one.

The transition from keeping the ball at the back to hundred mile first touch passes up the field is an exhilarating watch.

Truly special afternoon.

 

[Easy 10]

Every time I think we can't play any better than that...we go and do THAT.

Yes, given the opposition, I think that is probably the most complete, thrilling, devastating dismantling of a top team I have ever seen in my 38 years of watching this club. I didn't think that humping of Chelsea could be topped in a long, long time. I was wrong.

I've pretty much run out of superlatives for today. I'm just going to have to settle with SENSATIONAL. But that doesn't really cover it.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I've no doubt at all in my mind that was the greatest ever performance by Brighton and Hove Albion

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm relatively new to the Albion and only been going since '66, but I think it was the best I've seen.

Fun, wasn't it

 

[PeterT]

If we could put in a performance like that against a massive club like Sheffield Wednesday then I think the whole world would sit up and take notice.

3-0 over Tottenham, we bossed their very best 11 in their prime, also CL finalists …. but they lacked both injuries and a decrepit centre midfield.

Albion were so good, you could relax and enjoy from the 3rd minute.

Today feels like the apex because it’s Liverpool. But Brentford, Wolves and almost everyone else are dominating the grandads every game.

I disagree, today felt so much more dominant than the match v Spurs. It was constant- Liverpool faced wave after wave of Albion attacks. We were superb.
I couldn't use that word about the Tottenham victory

 

[Silverhatch]

League performance? Without going back to the Charity Shield in 1910 - that has to be the best performance by a Brighton team ever.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

I only listened on radio, how did today compare to Man United at home last season.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Absolute total controlled dominance in every measure today.

It’s been coming for a while

I fear we’ve peaked in this sense!

 

[WhingForPresident]

I said the same thing, we were absolutely sublime today. I can't think of a better performance, they weren't even in the game.

'69 for me - what were those intervening 3 years like?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pretty much a complete performance, Liverpool never knew what hit them

 

[Fromthesouth]

Best I have ever seen, our one touch passing was fantastic, and this was against Liverpool not a bottom of the table team, absolutely brilliant.

 

[WATFORD zero]

'69 for me - what were those intervening 3 years like?

You got to see Alex Dawson and the Napier brothers, so you didn't miss much

And for others, no pedantry please, it's a joke.

 

[Icy Gull]

Certainly the best ever 90 minute performance from an Albion team I have seen, my first ever game was 2-0 against Palace in 1975

 

[Guinness Boy]

That or Chelsea. The two best ever have both been under RDZ.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Yup, Liverpool (Liverpool) didn’t have a sniff.

I’m trying to remember a team ‘that big’ not getting a sniff. Even Manure in the 4-0 had some decent chances compared to Liverpool. They had FA.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We have witnessed Brightons two greates ever home results this season, today was superb in every respect.

Edited for you. Well, for me really...

1969 was my first home game. Today was simply the best. That was Klopp's Liverpool, not Plodder's Chelsea.

 

[Dibdab]

Wolves away last season and Peterborough away under Gus were on a par

No way.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I’m trying to remember a team ‘that big’ not getting a sniff. Even Manure in the 4-0 had some decent chances compared to Liverpool. They had FA.

And to add, in the stadium at least, their supporters sucked it up. None of that 'only here for the Arsenal' bolleaux. That made it even sweeter. I take no pleasure from having nob head away fans in the stadium, even if we beat them.
