Brighton 3-0 post match thread

Wow. Stunning, smooth, crisp...but enough about the Amazon audio/visuals  -  the football weren't half bad either.  

Take a bow James Justin.

[Le Renard]

Rodgers out!

[Webbo]

Has my gloating post been removed?

[Winchesterfox]

A great team performance.  Justin looks the real deal. A win on Wednesday and we go second.  

[ian__marshall]

Fantastic first half performance followed by a very professional second half. 

 

That Maddison second was almost an exact replica of Mahrez' goal (albeit at the opposite end) against Spurs in the title winning season. Truly a thing of beauty.

[whoareyaaa]

Good from Rodgers to change the formation as well finally

[baldeagle]

No coincidence that we suddenly look better with Wilf playing 

[Hammo]

Justin’s best performance for us. Superb.

 

Shout out also to Albrighton.

 

And to Rodgers for switching them when he did.

[goody2028]

Enjoyed that and like many others enjoyed amazon prime. All round good night at the office, now hopefully beat Everton Wednesday and Liverpool and spurs draw 0-0

[Tuna]

Enjoyed the Amazon coverage today, decent commentary and pundits.

Great win but I really don’t like this lack of drive towards end of game. It is well and good when we are winning but it rubs off when we are losing and need to chase a game. You never see Liverpool or Man City take their foot off the pedal. As Klopp once said, it is important to always keep the same mentality.

@baldeagle Don’t laugh mate. We have been through plenty of games this season where we are chasing and we play exactly like how we played in the last 15 mins of this game. You will then be complaining about why we don’t seem to believe in ourselves to chase for the win anymore.

[sishades]

12 points from safety.

[jayfox26]

Can we make it a rule that every team has to come to the kp and try to play football instead of having 11 men behind the ball and smashing it forward to quick and/or big strikers. Think we might actually win the league then. 

[Dan LCFC]

The biggest take from that is maybe the penny has dropped for him about the 5 at the back. Superb for the end of the first half and sailed through the second. We can be good when we want to be.

I agree you don't actually realise how good he is until he is missing. However mendy has done very well as well. LCFC are having a great season 

[trabuch]

Can we have Drury and Shearer on all our matches please? So refreshing to have a commentator who knows and respects us.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Great result. Final straw for 5 at the back and anyone defending it.

Tom, mate, you really need to enjoy this old son

[Tielemans63]

Thought the lads who've got a bit of stick recently, Fuchsy, Evans, Ayoze and Kevin were all brilliant today. 

[justfoxes]

Great Display Great Goals Great Night Lets carry this win on Wednesday night V Everton !

I LOVE THIS BLOOMIN FOOTBALL CLUB !!

 

[lozzyblue fox]

Totally agree. Enjoyed Shearer on co-comms

[Nod.E]

Personnel wise I was proven wrong. Maddison was brilliant.

Formation wise I was proven right. We looked awful first 20, we swapped to 4 at the back and from then on we didn't look back. 

Credit where it's due, Rodgers was humble enough to recognise it wasn't working and switched it up before it was too late, which was refreshing to see.

[Mickyblueeyes]

Great first half. Played some lovely stuff. Second half, very professional. Great stuff

 

ps. Shearer is a really good co-commentator. Sensible with good insight. Such a breath of fresh air compared to guys like Carragher. 

[oxtonfox]

Funny that Madders was getting bricks a week ago now he's the dogs. A week is a long time in this game for sure. Let's enjoy it for now, but a really good performance; and clinicality, intensity and magicalitee for sure.
