Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Henderson and Fabinho were both absolutely horrific when they came on. The collapse of Fabinho is genuinely absolutely mind blowing. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Got worse with bringing them on which says everything about them right now.

Shame, as there were some positive signs, but it’s another dreadful result, and sums up a truly rancid season.

Seen it before...called working your ticket..

Unfortunately the signing of Nunez looks all wrong. We have no fluidity up front when he's on the pitch.

A front 3 of Diaz, Gapko, and Salah should work well but we won't see that until next season. That's of course if Mo stays beyond the Summer.

Apart from Thiago, Bajcetic, and Elliot we need a new midfield.

We also need two new CB's and a right back.

Essentially we need at least 6 new players in the Summer if we want to get back competing again.

Just not very good at football. Fast and hard working though which is more than you can say about most of the other players in red today.

He's scored a lot in Portugal so he must be able to finish although he's not shown it yet for us but he seems to have zero clue about what's happening around AND Salah is doing absolutely F all

Problem is we have TAA and Gomez who cannot defend. Gomez in particular is nowhere good enough for us. Maybe it’s his injuries or whatever but he is garbage.

Fabinho, VVD, Thiago and keita just can’t move anymore. May as well re sign 50 year old veterans.

Salah is trash.

Today was actually better than a lot of recent performances but still barely a 4/10.

 Need to play better, especially in the league, who knows how low we could finish, judging the way the side, have been performing lately !

Even Klopp missing the mark this season. Gets the lineup wrong, makes weird subs, etc. Why take off Barjetic and Elliot today. Only good players on the pitch

This team is absolutely done.

Substitutes made us worse not better I am afraid .

Strange situation the reds have got themselves in where I think the club's captain and vice captain aren't good enough to play for the club.

Fabinho and Henderson don't appear to have learned anything from being dropped the last few games.  Maybe Klopp brought them on to avoid the hassle of the replay?

Klopp got it wrong today

I have no idea why he didn’t start with Nunez.

Just makes no sense at all


Trent staying on for longer then 30 mins was baffling. Shittest defending I have ever seen. Matomo ran rings around him, again!


Keita? Why is he even playing for us? Fab needs to be let go as well.

For me Milner had to come on for Trent, but bringing Hendo and Curtis on, for F**k sake!

Gomez sh*t himself and Konate was shaky as F**k, still can’t believe he put that simple header out for them to get a corner and their equaliser, even if was F***ing Arsey!


A F***ing shambles with 1 day of the window left, who we gonna panic loan tomorrow?


Going to bed, rant over, sick of this sh*t, miserable feeling.


End the Season now!

This......

Bring back Morton. Sign 3 MFers. I'd even let Mo and Fab go if a half way decent offer came in. LOT of money spent on regressing slow performances between those 2.

Gomez out too

Fell apart with the subs and esp Bajcetic going off.
Senior players should be ashamed.

We need Qatari investors whether you like it or not. The FSG aren't going to spend 250 million to get this club out of this mess. We need a whole new midfield, a replacement to Salah and a new CB.

More huff and puff but we ain't blowing any house down with this team, devoid of ideas, little fluidity goal apart, team in dire need of surgery.

We were in the fight, we lost the fight. 2 mid table sides slugging at it. Brighton probably deserved it.

Fabinho an absolute mess when he came on

What on earth was Fab playing at. We were completely disjointed when he came on.

Don’t know what the answer is with the players we’ve got, but neither does Jürgen by all accounts.

Yep very true. Good attitude, work rate ... football IQ zero sadly.

I hate that this might be a fact, but allowing the MF to age without real investment, paying Salah a kings ransom after 4 months of worrying signs, and seeing a regress in the back line without a refresh all falls on FSGs business model.

Fact of the matter is this team needs about that much to rebuild, and FSG simply won't do it.

Nunez is clueless

Bajcetic, Thiago and Keita are our best midfield - they have weaknesses but it's clear from this post World Cup spell that they are best we've got. Problem is one is an 18 year old and we shouldn't be depending on him week in, week out and the other two are probably going to get injured in the next week and neither can play week in, week out anyway. The likes of Fabinho and Henderson are so far off it it's scary - this isn't a loss of form for them but surely the beginning of the end of their Liverpool careers? I guess Hendo could take on the Milner role as he clearly gives us a lot off the pitch but Fabinho simply has to be moved on.

Really unsure about what the long term plan is in the forward positions either. To me, neither Nunez or Gakpo look like natural fits, a lot of money spent there when I think we should have been targeting a different profile of player. A right winger and someone who can link up the play like Bobby used to do would have suited us better but it is what it is I guess. Fair enough both may come good but at the moment I don't really get the attacking plan.

Centre back is a F***ing new massive headache as well.

We always become worse with fab on

It’s so obvious but we had to bring someone on for fresh legs

At least it wasn’t 3-0

We actually had the better chances that game

We would be so much better with jota-salah and Diaz in the team

Honest assessment from Robbo.

Just not good enough this season. Confidence is completely gone.

Lots of improvements needed but we need new players to make them.

I’m not blaming individuals - it’s just crap at the moment, top to bottom.
