Was genuinely singling "Hello darkness my old friend" in my head at half time

All is not lost....

Well that's me done for today

Brighton playing more like us than us

Our passing is so slow and predictable we're making the press so easy for them, we're not going to keep the ball if our players aren't moving and passing quicker, this is not us at all.

Got to say it's a fair score line so far, we've not been at the races at all

That was horrific

Great

Feels like the City and Liverpool games have really taken the wind out of our sails, look like we're second guessing everything and playing with a bit of fear.

We look scared out there today, need to settle down

What in the Michael Owen is this now?

This is clearly a delaying tactic to bring him back into the fold when they think it's "died down". Pretty horrific tbh

Looking on their forum it looks like the QF stage clashes with the Club World Cup and they've either sold or loaned out most of their kids so they'll struggle to field 2 teams. They could just throw this game in favour of the CWC.

If you're gonna get City in a cup the best chance you have is their first round and you're at home. However unlikely it's probably our best chance of beating them.

One of the things I hated about him at Everton was how easy he used to go to ground to try and win free kicks all the time. At the end of last season he struggled to bed himself in with the squad but during the summer break he's clearly been coached well and now seems to be one of our best players.

Still bruised today, I've banned football talk at work and deleted twitter All I've got to say to the Liverpool supporters is "Who do you think you'll draw in the Champions League on Thursday.....ohhhh, awkward". Ultimately, we just need to bounce back from this, go on a run of results and finish above them again, they beat us twice last year and still weren't good enough to finish above us so screw them.

This is it for me, even with 11 men we were the better team, the away game last season we were the better team, even at home after conceding over the top twice and losing the keeper, we were the better team. To play them 3 times and be the better team for the majority of the game and still lose all 3 is rage inducing torture. You just know they'll now go and capitulate to Villa at home and make it even worse.

This is a tough pill to swallow, Liverpool were there for the taking, they're not even that good but we gave our best efforts to let them back in. Now I have to spend the next week around gloating Liverpool supporters to top it all off. The ONE game I wanted us to win this season and we've been suckered punched like that, gonna take a while to get over this. All I can hope is that we finish above them again then this result is irrelevant.

I'm absolutely livid at that, where was our intensity? Where was our desire? That second half was nothing short of disgraceful and those subs pretty much put the nail in our coffin, we had total control over that midfield and taking off Tonali and Joe was irresponsible to say the least. What's even worse is having to sit here and watch it with 2 bin dippers cheering at the TV, fucking fuming. I'm not writing off any players or anything buy today was beyond unacceptable, no one comes out of this looking good.

Horrific display in a game we needed to prove something, absolutely disgusting by our players.

Thought we could cruise it against 10 men and paid the price, we lost our intensity when they went down to 10

Shades of the Everton game 21/22

Totally undeserved that

Fuck off

Almiron goes demon mode, deserved a goal that
