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

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Well there's a game that certainly didn't play out like a dead rubber

 

[AmexRuislip]

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

Joe Pasquali wasn't available

 

[RandyWanger]

That'll do nicely for some last day something to play for nerves. Fab got the subs right and made the difference.

 

[Seagull58]

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.

I'm not convinced about Minteh at all. He needs to improve his decision making and his final ball or he'll be replaced.

BBC website:

Brighton matchwinner Jack Hinshelwood talking to Sky Sports: "First of all coming off the bench, I wanted to come into the game and make a great impact and work my hardest. I think the ball comes across and it sat up perfectly and I tapped it in. There was a nervous wait until the goal was allowed but when it was allowed it was pure relief."

On coming on with his cousin Harry Howell: "It was a really nice moment coming on with my cousin. We've been working so hard since we were kids. Playing together since we were just born kicking balls with each other, so to come on together and he made a great run across the front post to open the gap for me, so I'll be thanking him later."

On his baby celebration: "I've been due a goal a while and the Mrs has been banging on to me about bringing the celebration in, so we've got a baby on the way. We're really excited, it's my first one, so excited to be making a family together."

Lamie, did you used to play for Halifax Town?

 

[banjo]

That was how football should be played. No time wasting or 11 men behind the ball.

 

[maltaseagull]

What?

Watch the highlights.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Lamie, did you used to play for Halifax Town?

Lamie certainly did …I remember watching him for Brighton when he signed from Halifax..did you know that sadly he has passed away

 

[severnside gull]

The young lads did so well. Thought Gruda had by far his best game so far and my MoM

Agree. He looks a real prospect as a No10

 

[GT49er]

"It just shows how weak the Liverpool squad is". "They were on the beach anyway". "Shouldn't get turned over by Brighton".

Talksport once again show their finely balanced and well researched analysis tonight. Jason Cundy and some other clueless bloke stealing a living.

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Very wrong, Dear Friend, very wrong

Were Won(dered)

Slot just said same thing in interview.

“Two teams wanting to play football, no time wasting, no time delaying, and that gives a great game of football”

 

[severnside gull]

Arne Slot a genuinely nice guy

 

[nicko31]

Tremendous character tonight

I don't know why people listen to it tbh.

 

[BevBHA]

Arne Slot very balanced and complementary of us in his post match on Sky. Classy guy.

That late evening show of Cundy and O’Hara is total bllx
Generally I switch it off although I have been tempted to ring in and talk about the time the Wolves supporters threw O’Haras shirt back after he had thrown it into the crowd at an end of season game down here…he had been subbed at HT after a lot of abuse from Wolves fans over the size of his wages

 

[Mellotron]

Great win.

I especially enjoyed the final 15 minutes when Pervis’ brain seemed to completely leave his body.

 

[severnside gull]

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.

Certainly has that potential
