[Football] Liverpool v West Ham

[erkan]

Yay, we move up a place in the table

This. I'd take 16th come the end of the season.

An away fixture for us out of the way. Not such a disastrous opening weekend

I thought West Ham were now ready for the top 6?

West Ham showing the same problems we will have ... How do you get out from under the intense high press ? ... so far as I can remember whenever the Albion have faced a high press we have failed to find a way to beat it

West Ham , Wolves and Fulham with their spending sprees get 1 point between them from their 1st games

Liverpool and Man City are on another level to everyone this season. It’s already looking like a two horse race.

Man City haven't played yet!!

Playing a high line against a pressing team. Long may it continue from West Ham and Everton.

Not sure they have to have done, they are the benchmark and it will be astounding if they are not front runners

4-0 We are so going to get our arses kicked. Big time.

If we play like yesterday, yes. But let’s wait and see eh? Keep the faith and all that cobblers.

Sullivan & Gold would say “This is a 38 match marathon and that they’ll have the last laugh next May. That there’s a 25% discount on Rampant Rabbits. That the move to The Olympic Stadium has allowed them to compete with Europe’s elite”.

At least we have a better goal difference than West Ham

It would be so typical of Brighton if we pull off mega performances against United and Liverpool and then fall flat on our faces again against Fulham

Sturridge was available for £15m... I wonder how many clubs will regret not having a punt by the end of the season?
If he only plays 15 games, how much is 10 goals a season worth?

I thought he informed the club that he intended to stay and see out his contract?

We are fecking rubbish against any team that plays that way. Probably because last years squad does not have the technical quality to deal with it. Best hope the new boys do or it will be deja vu against any team that presses us.

I wonder if we’ll go there and try for a 0-0

Isn't that what we try to do in every away game?

 

[portlock seagull]

It’s ok, it’s only August, we’re away from home, against one of the best sides in the World blah blah blah

 

[Brian Parsons]

Judging by first 17 mins City v Gunners not just Liverpool and not only us getting trounced.

If we play like yesterday, yes. But let’s wait and see eh? Keep the faith and all that cobblers.

We need to use the boundless pace and energy of Propper and Gross, to pressure Keita, Fabinho and Milner into mistakes. To turn this on its head and gegenpresse LFC.
