Brighton 0 Liverpool 2 - Season 2021-2022

Part 3 of my mini-series of readings from my first self-published book on Liverpool FC entitled "Chasing the Impossible and a Sword of Damocles" and here in chapter 19 the Reds ease their way to a 2-0 win on the south coast of Brighton in the middle of the 2021-2022 season.

Here's a link for a book I'm immensely proud of, an extract from the chapter being read here, and other ways and means of supporting me and placing a thumb in the eye of the traditional publishers who refused to read my original manuscript!

"Throughout the month of February and now with the Ides of March fast approaching, the Reds have taken a maximum 18 points from 6 league games and have only conceded 1 goal in the process! Leicester, Burnley, Norwich, Leeds, West Ham and Brighton have all been brushed aside (15–1 goals aggregate) and the Reds of Liverpool haven’t really raised themselves from a 3rd gear stroll, and today was much of the same. This Liverpool team play football from the sporting Gods and even when they don’t (or don’t have to), they win in a comfortable stroll. Brighton were dreadful today but as equally dreadful as the game was as a whole. They started each half brightly, dominated the first 15 minutes of scrappy play and Danny Welbeck saw his last minute header brilliantly saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper produced this world class save having had nothing else to do all game as the only highlights for a labouring and slow paced Brighton fell to their pesky and pacey duo of Neal Maupay and Leandro Trossard. Both strikers had half chances in the opening 8 minutes of the game before in the opening minute of the second half, and with Liverpool holding a slender 1–0 lead, the strikers combined scrappily to force a clear and close in chance for Trossard who blazed high and wide over Becker’s crossbar.

It rather summed up Brighton’s day".
