What an achievement by Tony Bloom, Paul Barber and the Brighton hierarchy. A properly run football club that are only behind Arsenal in the premier league table. Champions league soon and well deserved. A club that follows the rules and will get its rewards soon.

Hang in there Michael

Pierre Sage says he does not know whether he will be given time to turn things around at Crystal Palace after a humiliating five-goal defeat at Brighton.

“I don’t know,” Sage said in his post-match press conference after being asked whether he would have the chance to rectify things.

“I just want to apologise to the fans because it’s not normal to show this face for this club against this other club and we are not at the level we expected. I am really sorry for that because I know how important it is for them.

“We didn’t show that today it was really important for us too. We didn’t understand in which context this game was played.”

Love the optimism Mikel but Kai aint him, 10-15 goal a season at best, I'd be surprised if he hit 20.

Part of it is injuries and fitness but he's just not clinical enough, good ability though.

Andoni Iraola says Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong are both facing spells on the sidelines after suffering hamstring injuries in Liverpool’s eventful 2-1 win at Brentford.

Vice-captain Szoboszlai was forced off in the first half after aggravating the same problem which had kept him out of the club’s previous two matches. Meanwhile Frimpong, who came off the bench at the start of the second half, lasted six minutes before limping off with a similar issue. Both players will undergo scans to determine the extent of the damage.

“We had a very delicate situation coming back from playing Champions League away (against LASK in Austria) on Wednesday, arriving back late at night and probably not a proper chance of recovery,” Iraola told reporters post-match.

“So you are in doubt between (selecting) the players who have already started two games and are very tired or the players who are recovering from injuries on whom you are not 100 per cent sure.

“Dom felt the same injury, so that injury probably isn’t healed enough so we will need more time with him. Jeremie was new. He finished the game cramping the other day. I put him in because playing against 10 I thought he would give us more going forward than Ronald (Araujo).

“After that, Victor (Munoz) was very good playing as a right-back. But it will mean we will lose Dom and Jeremie for some time.”

Wirtz covered the 23th most distance this season. 1st per 90 min for the top 100 players. He is 31st in total sprints as well. While Liverpool is last in total distance covered. Does he run too much? Is he more tired, because of that. Not saying thats the entire problem, but could be part of it.
