Liverpool v Brighton (A) PL

[BootRoom]

Weak from Henderson.

[Doc_Piptorious]

This is it. It's not how good he is now, but what's his trajectory? If he looks like his standards are gradually coming down why would you pay uber-bucks for him over the next few years? By the way, I don't have an answer to that.

Except his stats have started heading in an upwards direction this season on last season.

Looking like he will finish with more goals than last season, already has more assists than last season. He is out performing his XG and XA stats from the start of this season.

Things like his pass completion rates etc are not dropping, balls won stats are not dropping, distance covered numbers are not dropping. He is scoring at elite levels in a lot of his underlying numbers and some of them are his best since joining us.

Man is showing himself to be one of those freak of nature players whose numbers and underlying numbers do not start to slump after 27 or 28.

Basically he is puting up better numbers across the board than in his previous three seasons with us and some of his numbers are on par with that crazy first season.

Last season was a freak show though, I'm not sure that says very much. I'm not knocking him or Mane by the way, I just think Mane in particular is not quite as good at controlling the ball, making a killer pass or shooting as he has been for us in the past.

Brighton are a team of cunts

[Venton]

Can Jurgen actually close his jaw these days? Genuinely, those new teeth don't look like they fit properly.

[Kenneth]

Jesus Hendo, worst possible pass in that situation.

[Sus]

Well in Alisson

[Sus]

Oh Diaz - that should have been 3

Difference between him and Salah?

[BootRoom]

The closing stages of this game have been mildly irritating.

[S-RED]

sloppy upfront.

5 Mins !!!

[Kenneth]

I don’t know, I think we’ve been on top until the end.

[Venton]

Good work between Van Dijk and Alisson

[Tribute]

About 350k a week…

[Venton]

I don't want to be harsh on Wellbeck but he's ****e.

[dizzycat]

3 points without much effort. That'll do.
