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

...And so the floodgates open

Not quite.............................................yet

 

[Bridcutt]

Performance has been fine except for the goal conceded however I'd like to see us be a little stronger in the 50/50s in our half - losing most of them bc we seem a bit scared

 

[Southern Scouse]

First team I have seen contain LFC for a while at Anfield, needed a mistake to break the deadlock. Nervous.....

 

[LamieRobertson]

Mcmanaman is like a stuck record , how did he think we were going to play today? Take it to Liverpool from the first minute?

Irritating doesn't do it justice

We've been dangerous when we've been direct- they're too good at pressing and we're not good enough to pass our way out from the back. Jurgen might add something in the second half.

I think Balogun can take a lot of blame also. He could have cleared it.

 

[Marxo]

We've got them just where we want them!

The commentary is atrocious. All of Liverpool's home games against the bottom 10 teams will be this one sided, they haven't lost at home for 16 months FFS. Some teams are going too get steamrollered at Anfield this season.
They're too stupid too understand the situation, think the tactics are spot on from us.

Half time and only 0-1

For the most part, a good first half. Need to work on getting forward once we break down the Liverpool attacks. Some scary dribbling on the edge of the box from Knocky

 

[Zebedee]

Bissouma has been our best player so far. Looks like a real find.

 

[El Turi]

We’ve done ok so far and managed to get in some dangerous areas but not been able to get shots away. I know he messed up for the goal but having Bissouma in there has made a big difference. He’s been excellent so far.

We look more solid this year. Some of our defending last season against Liverpool was pub stuff. If we come away losing 2-0 i'll take that.

He is saying we are giving the ball away then next saying they are not attacking and passing backwards, the guy is a prick.

I'm really surprised is 'Macca' is being critical of us- think we've done alright....seen quite a bit of Liverpool and they've absolutely ripped most teams apart.

 

[astralavi]

Locadia on for a 30 yard thunderbastard would be good

 

[portslade seagull]

Bissouma looks class

 

[Cozzy]

schoolboy freekick leads to goal ... but apart from that just the one other chance saved by Ryan ... still in the game and we actually had the first shot of the game on target .... only look like we will score with a midfielder driving through them or a set piece .. but at least we are still in it

 

[the right footed denilson]

Bissouma has been our best player so far. Looks like a real find.

He's the most exciting prospect i've seen in the stripes. He's 20 years old for goodness sakes!!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Apart from the mistake Bissouma has looked lively and wants the ball, as always need abit of pace / outlet upfront - time for locadia imho

Disappointing to concede like that but overall a good performance and as I'm sure has been pointed out before Bissouma looks quality. A great carrier of the ball, him and Knockaert really allow us to relieve pressure by carrying the ball upfield quickly. I love how Bissouma's first instinct is to turn and drive forward at every opportunity. Our squad has been crying out for a central midfielder like that for ages!
