KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Liverpool Brighton player ratings

I agree Tottenham & Chelsea should have beat the teams they played, but as for Sunderland I think they have a better squad than Arsenal who are [oops] poor in defence and rely solely on RVP.

As for ratings I think Carroll deserved his MOTM, should have put the header away would give him an 8

Downing played one of his better games so a 7, along with the rest of the team except Hendo who is not a RM and went missing a lot would give him a 5-6, but he needs to play in his preferred postion!!!

henderson pretty poor carroll much better suarez done ok penalty miss poor good job it wasnt needed , but have to say the finishing was great from the brighton players clinical 4 finishes .

I listened to the full game commentary and henderson's name was mentioned twice. People keep trying to tell me that he has potential but i haven't seen a single attribute of his that can explain why he is at the club (or any top flight club for that matter). Could any henderson fans please look into their crystal ball and tell me what he becomes good at please? Ps being "young" is neither an attribute or reason enough to suggest that he will become a great player.

I was watching him a lot to see what he actually does cos according to opta stats he runs more metres than everyone else- so does forest gump.
I saw him do at least 5 'bad crosses' - not even a cross a chip into gerard or someone in the middle and at least 5 times could be 10 i cant remember - the ball went to another team player or out of play - i am still hoping he comes good like AC who is a good striker of the ball- downing i don't give a fig about he plays alright out of his depth of course . I'd put sterlingin as soon as possible when he is ready and flog downing

My first post! Hello Everyone!

Great game, was about time we gave someone a thrashing. Just hope this can carry over to the cup final and the premier league.

Thought Downing had a solid game,finally an assist. Carroll played well too. His prescence alone in the box is great for Suarez to get free and do some damage.

Stevie still looks a bit off. Hendo also.

have you got a season ticket

Thought we played OK. Funny how first time Suarez Gerrard and Carroll start together we go on a goal rush.

To be honest we probably played better in four or five of those drawn games this season where goalkeepers had a blinder. Brighton keeper did not deserve to let in 6 today, he had a good game. And we missed a pen and hit the bar so no difference there to some of those other games. We just had that bit more belief and calmly went about business.

Downing for me had his best game yet for us. At least he was a bit more aware of where other people were and he looked more decisive.

Credit to the Brighton players. They tried to play football and there were few bad challenges and to be fair to the ref on another day that pen would have also been a sending off and there were probably 4 mins to add not 2. But I think he wanted to save them from a 7 0r 8 goal hiding. The whole thing was played out in a positive manner allowing us to move on now at last from the events of the last 3 months.

welcome and good luck

Welcome

reina, 6. had nothing to do so cant give him a higher score.

johnson, 6. he was okay.
skrtel & carra, 7 didn't put a foot wrong.
enrique, 7. he and downing look like a good partnership down the left.

hendo, 4. really is useless on the right. kenny has a huge blind spot with hendo.
gerrard,5. really found him frustrating in this game. he seemed slow and his passing wasn't good.
Adam, 5. blah, blah, blah. really added little to the game. much rather have hendo at CM.
downing,7. he was good. he was playing against an awful RB though but he did he job well and looked dangerous throughout.

Suarez,7. looked good. showed some nice turns and touches but clearly lacking that little bit of match fitness.
Carroll,8. his movement is getting better and better. and love him or hate him he got a goal and an assist.
