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

[Frutos]

Just to make sure I've understood this correctly: if we win tonight, we're champions of England, right?

And before anyone accuses me of being "thick", that's how it works in conkers.

Yep, thats it - mind you, we'd then have to defend the title against Man City on Saturday.

What does Lawro predict?

0-2

He does also say "I'm sure Brighton - who are now absolutely safe from relegation by the way - will try to make things difficult again for them here."

Aren't Southampton currently the champs then, or do I need to go back to conkerschool?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

When did we stop doing the big badge little badge thing?

Not complaining. just trying to work out whether our change of fortunes is linked.

Anything less than 6 points this week will be unforgivable.

 

[Billy the Fish]

These are a good side were loose

 

[vagabond]

Let’s get some points of the plastic Scousers

 

[Medwayseagull]

No idea what you're talking about.

Perhaps we should jointly apply to the OED as a submission for word of the year.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Pre virus, Liverpool were unstoppable and I'd have given us a fraction above zero chance of any result. Since the restart Liverpool haven't been so impressive bar the thumping of Palace. With the game being pretty much a dead rubber for them, I am (slightly) optimistic of a sneaky result if we go into the game with a positive approach and 'if' they are a little disinterested. Same tactics as we deployed in the first half against United, we could get thumped if Liverpool are on song.

 

[Swansman]

They are a better opponent for us than Man United as they dont quite have the same pace. Losing is still likely though, obviously.

Curious to see how Potter rotates the squad as someone will need to be fit against City as well.

 

[Dick Head]

So excited

were loose

 

[Blue3]

Cannot see us getting much out of today's game I hope it's not a cricket score and that we make a game of it

 

[Justice]

Haven’t they lost the last five aways or something? If Watford can beat this lot I’m sure we can have a go.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Not scored in 4 aways? Once teams come off peak performance and they've wrapped things up, precedent suggests it's very hard to get back on it. We've only lost by the odd goal in our last 3 games against them.

Still too good for us, I fear though. Heart says draw, head says 0-2.

Gave them a right scare at Anfield and were slightly unfortunate not to get anything , we were undone from 2 corners with some woeful defending.

I would like to see Duffy come in tonight to replace Webster and perhaps Bernado for Burn , this is a good chance to see how good young Lamptey is up against a fantastic crosser of the ball .

We can do this , and if you can't get up for a game against the European champions and Premier league winners then you never will .

Come on Brighton .

They're there for the taking. Or possibly not.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

It's probably too early but any news on their most famous supporter?

 

[neilbard]

1-1 NSC goes mental..

 

[dazzer6666]

It's clear there has been a (subconscious probably) lessening of effort for the Scousers, regardless of what Klopp says/wants - bound to happen with the job done. At PL level even a small % gives the lesser team a much better chance. Not as clear cut as the bookies will have it. We should be well up for it and Liverpool have also struggled away recently. Looking forward to it, partly because a loss isn't a big deal anyway now so no real pressure.

Interestingly just heard a discussion on the radio that a win for West Ham tonight 'leaves them safe'.

 

[KZNSeagull]

We are going to win. Win I say. Win!!
