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

[Flounce]

Another fact about Liverpool and the Albion. Our win at Anfield on our run to the Cup Final was the first time that they had lost any sort of Cup game at home for DECADES

I was there for that magnificent day btw

But were one of few of us there the season before for our 1-0 win in the league

Let’s hope you aren’t right, I like his brand of football much more than modern Pep, they’ve been great to watch this season and a big part has been my ability to tolerate the gaffer.

Joking aside he does seem level headed whereas Pep makes a better door than a window, he drives me mad when after a win he soaps up the opposition but after a defeat he gets salty.

Spot on. Drives me nuts. Huge credit for his achievements but his arrogance drives me mad at this point

This has just made me ask a really important question (like, really important).

Who's the last manager to win the League without first going bald and/or having a hair transplant?

This might seem trivial and pointless, but it could be the sort of marginal gain we need to be going for that finally takes us over the line to winning something.

I’m going to come across as bitter but if you look at the squads he’s managed at Barca, Bayern and City he’s not really re-invented the wheel, this thing with the fullback stepping into midfield is twaddle, when you have 10 very good outfield players and you’re attacking teams will double up leaving spare men …..Stones just wandered forward, nothing more nothing less,

He wants to try his inverted fullbacks managing Scunthorpe and see where it gets him.

Oh yes and the spitting constantly……filthy and a bad example.

Jurgen Klopp? Or is he a transplant man?

Yeah, he's got a load of arse hairs shoved on his forehead.

1/2 hour highlights on Sky Now!

 

[amexer]

Excellent Womansplaining

Yes but seems odd when linesman keeps flag down when miles offside up the field but feels the need to flag for a very close call last night or is there someting in rules to say if goal is scored must flag

Might have been flagging the player closest to him (who was offside) which obscured his view of all the others ?

Hasn't Fab had a hair transplant? In which case we're already well placed.

Thank you. Good way to spend my lunch break!

This was my assumption

It's exactly this sort of forward thinking by Tony Bloom that sees us still with a slim shot at European football next season, despite the injury problems and new / young players we've had to manage.

Yes, some might see it as a bit harsh on young Fab, but - needs must.

"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.

Yep. Typical Cundy and Jamie O'hara giving it large about Liverpool being on beach and who cares about Brighton. Hope Cundy's Chelsea finish 7th and miss out on champions league

 

[worthingweird]

Chelsea finish 7th and win conference league or Chelsea finish 6th Newcastle 7th and Chelsea win conference league.
All still possible but still unlikely.

Very likely...
