Watched the game with Brighton fans yesterday and was embarrassed by our performance. As always with Albion, if I allow myself any expectation of a good result it ends in tears. My biggest issue was with picking 3 defensive minded midfielders. I like Barry and the new guy seems good but Livermore as well is nonsense. He is taking the place of someone who could be creative and cause the opposition problems. Like everyone I don't like Nyom at left back and we have to believe Gibbs will be picked next week. I used to like Rondon but no more. A bit like Livermore he is taking the place of someone who could do something creative. Feeling down but next week I expect to see an improved performance.
My thoughts exactly. As Chris said - Gibbs should have started as he was fit and on the bench. Livermore offers very little and for me Rondon should be dropped and Rod played in his natural position.
