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

[OzMike]

Sanchez on for 2nd half ?

 

[OzMike]

I know it's Sunday and people might have bad-heads and want it to be peaceful, but Jesus the AMEX is a library

I thought it was a bit quiet too.

 

[Seagull27]

Is he technically good enough to do that role?

I'd say Welbeck is one of our most technically-gifted players. Some of his little flicks and first-time passes have been sublime.

 

[aolstudios]

Dare I say, the last few minutes have been the Lamptey of old

Against one of the weaker teams, tbf

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Lamptey had something to prove and he’s certainly done that.

 

[Mancgull]

Lamptey has been excellent today, in defence and in attack. He’s certainly saved us a couple of times with his pace at the back and caused them problems going forwards.
We are missing Moises dynamism in midfield but that’s no surprise.
Lovely little deflection from Dunk for the goal. Welbeck not adding a lot. I’d be tempted to get Gilmour on for Danny and have just Ferguson up front.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Atmosphere seems very flat - might be ITV mics though

Certainly a different first half than a fortnight ago

Clearly missing Caicedo in my opinion.

Welbeck and Webster looking abit shakey in possession and a couple of instances where Gross could have looked up and played the better option

Not disastrous but could be a lot better

I can’t remember seeing so many flairy flicks in a game as today? It’s like everyone’s a kid again and trying to impersonate their idols. Looking very silky!

Sounds pretty loud on the radio.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Good first half, but both sides too open. Could easily be 3-3 at half time. Need to tighten up a bit.

Nope, I said this too. Like a graveyard.

 

[Jackthelad]

Lamptey is big talent and at 22 he has a lot of scope to improve, he gets a lot of shit and most of it is completely unwarranted. He looks class today.

 

[severnside gull]

Both teams are, its like a game of basketball lol

Could’ve been 3-3.
I know we look to play on the edge but ……..

 

[Kosh]

Pretty impressive all things considered.

Gross and Webster not great, but then again Gross really shouldn’t be playing where he is… hopefully a certain Ecuadorean is watching and feeling a wee bit guilty… although it’s far more likely he’s sitting somewhere finalising personal terms… sigh.

Still, I guess it’s time to focus on the players who seemingly do want to be here.

Not sure if you're there but i thought so on the telly too - very flat (Liverpool fans too bar first 10 or so minutes). I blame loads of fans not being in their s.t. seats - esp in the North

 

[GoingUp]

Has Dunk painted on his goatee?

 

[Algernon]

Mitoma has certainly visually got something extra but I find it hard to believe that Solly isn't being closely watched by various teams.
He quietly and cleverly goes about his business, working hard always.
He's the ninja.

 

[BrickTamland]

Ali Mac not looked very sharp (against his high standards).

Wele has had some nice layoffs but him and Fergie together doesn’t seem to work.

Bring one of the strikers off and get Gilmour in the anchor role

 

[Official Old Man]

Lower West. Two Liverpool fans removed for no reason than being in the home stand. First time I've seen this.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Feels like we’re playing two up top simply because we don’t have any CMs left. Not sure RDZ fancies Gilmour
