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

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I'm excited for next year with a settled Gruda, Minteh and Wieffer, adding Ferdi etc into the mix as well. We really do have an exciting young team. With that comes the inconsistencies which I appreciate can frustrate some but the bigger picture looks so good.

 

[Home and Away]

We played really well. I'm not saying that just because we won. We actually passed the ball well and with purpose more than usual. Defensively some insecure and immature decisions, but overall good performance.

 

[Paris]

The second half subs made the difference. Always nice to beat Liverpool

 

[Dick Head]

Fooking Madley no cards for Liverpool despite 2 hands in face but Webster gets one. Dick.

What?

 

[severnside gull]

If we can only learn to defend we will be a very good side

Poor Jack has just been subjected to a screeching Q&A from Carragher on SS

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Before anyone does the usual "It's the games against Southampton, Ipswich, Leicester that cost us", I know, but for Hurzeler's first season to include a double over United, wins against Liverpool, Chelsea (twice) and Newcastle (twice) and to draw both games against "the Champions in any other season" Arsenal is a very impressive return.

Add to that and we're only a win v Spurs away from equalling RDZs best ever points total

Yep.
We have been great all season.
8th would be our second best ever finish in our entire history.
Not plucky.
Amazing football.
Much more fun to watch than Palace.
Fewer trophies than Wigan and Pompey and Palace.
I would rather be us.
Always and forever.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Never doubted our boys for a second. En route home now.

 

[billhems]

If Uncle Tony has saved enough money to buy Minteh some studs for next season, there will be no stopping us. Buzzing.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

But he lost to palace...twice!

For the first and only time in our history.
Dry your eyes, FFS.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Atmosphere was good.

One of those nights when everyone there really wants to be there.

 

[Mancgull]

Gruda emerged as a real talent today in the number ten position, which must be his best position. Great technical ability and vision.
Will make losing Joao Pedro seem ok.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

For the first and only time in our history.
Dry your eyes, FFS.

No

 

[LamieRobertson]

End of season bore draw I reckon. Will serve all the glory hunting reds fans right for their once a season game

Assisted the winning goal

I take it all back!

I agree with you. But we did get 62 points in RDZ's season, one more than we can reach this year. Which is interesting in itself - we could get only one point fewer, but end up two places lower.

I'm happy that we can't finish lower than 10th - becoming a proper Top-10 team now, three out of the last four seasons, and last year wasn't far off.

Gruda not bad from the spot for that matter.

I think he was hoping there would be an interpreter on hand

 

[kevo]

Mitoma the game changer tonight. Gruda with an outstanding performance too.
Estupinan composure had me worried last 5.
Wieffer another very good performance. One of Ayari's best too.

I seem to have spent all of added time screaming at Pervis, but fair play he didn't f**k up!
