I'd very happily go second in the table in place of Chelsea..

Chelsea 7 Liverpool nil?!!

Chelsea 7 Liverpool nil?!!

Exactly, think it'd need to be 8-0 even

We didn’t really look like we were at full speed, which is ok as long as we can up the tempo and variation against the higher challengers.
Our lack of directness when through sometimes has me perplexed. We go past them and are through, yet decide to come back out rather than attack the goal.
A good result against a determined defensive minded team. They set up well but we should have converted one or more of the opportunities.

Seemed like many players tuned off after the second goal and just wanted to retain the ball.

This would indicate the vast majority of them will be playing on Tuesday.

Brighton haven't conceded more than two goals in a league game so far and clearly have enough graft and spine to stay in the premier league and I am confident they will.

In saying that it was a solid performance no cricket score as some predicted but Brighton get 10 behind the ball as well as any side in the premier league.

City's possession football used as the best defensive tactic not making the risky pass that would concede possession, otherwise called taking your foot of the gas. It saves energy but loses momentum. Always knew that Brighton had the biggest bus rivalling Newcastle. A bit too attacking as they got caught in a breakaway like they did at the Amex last season.

But the biggest advantage over Liverpool is the City press is relentless, making small mistakes (that get punished) inevitable.

9 nil I think

Thought we played well and dominated the game. Sane was great, Laporte was quality & for me Zinchenko is a future superstar

Didn't have to get out of first gear, Aguero goal was excellent....well worth the wait.

Really enjoyed it today. Great movement and passing with very few loose balls. Brighton tried to play football which was good to see but we were simply better. Aguero motm for me; involved in the first goal, created and scored the second and created other chances.

Laporte was brilliant,Sterling a constant threat and Ederson could of sat next to me in the stands. Job done, big game midweek

Brighton's defending was superb. It took two great goals to win.
