[hmmmmm1]

in other seasons that would have been a draw

Lol @ Alisson taking the piss out of Brighton

Shortest match thread ever ?

We were shite.

But we won.

Take that all day long. Would like to see more of the swashbuckling play of the past season, but 9 points after 3 games does me.

Three clean sheets is the yelling stat.

I think a lot of fans never truly believed we could win a title when we always looked like we needed to blow teams away to win.

We suddenly look like 1-0 is enough and that's massive.

We weren't shit, Brighton just didn't come to play. We'll see more games like this one this season.
It's hard to do anything when we're playing against 8 players defending.

Constantly misplacing passes had fuck all to do with Brighton

It had all to do with Brighton. They were constantly pressing, constantly looking to win the second ball. Made the spaces smaller. At one point I noticed Firmino outside their box with like three players surrounding him. Brighton weren't shit and they made us look worse than we are.

I agree we weren’t shite but I disagree about Brighton, they certainly had a go at us.

Too many players uneccesarily losing the ball today and there was a couple of shady events at the back as well...

Give a fuck...

We did deserve to win, two or three really good bits of defending stopped us racking up a nice score and regardless of how how shabby we were we are top.

I agree we absolutely deserved to win. I hate teams like Brighton. They only had a go in the last 10 mins. Smart tactic. They really tried to rope-a-dope us.

 

[Molbystwin]

Is it possible to turn the spell checker of on an iPad?? It’s driving me insane...

Apologies...

Off topic

It is the same defensive setup as palace; 2 lines of 4 close together squeezing out the space between defence and midfield. Brighton just did it better.

Bobby and Salah had no space at all and at one point either had to withdraw to the midfield line just to get the ball. Mane was just rubbish today.

Yes Brighton made our attack look very mediocre today.

Well, with a budget like theirs, you can't blame them for playing to their strengths.

Burnley was the same last year and they were much lauded.

You said it a whole lot better. Thumbs up.

Bit harsh....

Two excellent saves and one crossbar plus we missed two others that shudda gone in.

 

[tombrown]

I just got a feeling and backed Naby for 1st goal.

Strongly advise no-one does the same

I also had a feeling the stupid Youtube fight would be a draw and got 12-1 on it. So I end the day up, after all

I AGREE!!!!

 

[gkmacca]

Haven't watched MOTD in ages - I couldn't believe they didn't show Allison's chip over the defender. It's not as if there was too much else going on to leave it out!

And the pen we should have had for the Brighton goalie's foul on Bobby.

I was going to ask about that ...
If the keeper just runs out and decks a player who's trying to get position, is it ever a penalty?
(Here, I actually thought Bobby looked for it)

 

[juniormember]

I thought it was 100% a penalty.

Looked for what? The goalie just came storming out.

In slow motion, it seemed bobby put his arm into the keeper and then got plowed over.

 

[Insignificance]

I think we did well in first half. Should have buried it by half time but their goalie kept them in the game.

Second half was more even. I was surprised they didn't risk more as they were only one goal down. I think they only har one or two chances the whole game.

I don't but into that we were shit. PL should be competitive and we kept them quite for most of the game. 9 nice points so far is good. Somehow I don't mind if we are not top of the table come monday night.

I think we've all forgotten what a good tight 1-0 victory looks like. we've won 3 and 4 goals to nil or 1 many more times since Klopp came in.

 

[nealmac]

I'm seeing a lot of criticism of our front 3, and I largely agree. But to be fair I thought Brighton's defence was top notch, and apart from the goal I thought they did their job quite well. Speaking of defences, how fucking cool does ours look, compared to before?

 

[mark1975]

I think it's there with the front three. The interplay was really great at times during the game, but we struggled to get beyond them much and the deliveries into the box were, again, hit and miss. It'll come. Alot of the players have a World Cup hangover. It's obvious by the players who are fresher and in form - Milner, VVD, Gini, Gomez..

Our four best players so far weren't at the World Cup.

Mane was giving the ball away all match. His passing wasn't great against West Ham but he scored twice and that's the only reason I wasn't moaning for him to be subbed earlier, though I was glad when he was
