Liverpool enters the international break having once again failed to hold their ground in the dying minutes, this time at Brighton where two goals from Mo Salah resulted in a 2-2 draw.
Premier League matchup between Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool (8), October 8, 2023
Goals: Adingra (20), Dunk (78), Salah (40), and Pen (45).
Alisson Becker scored six out of ten.
(4) Andy Robertson
Adingra did in fact give him a little bit of the runaround. Couldn’t catch up with him after he was run over; unable to stop the attacker from checking inside or the cross from coming in.
The biggest impact was just failing to clear the ball from a free-kick, which Dunk duly scored from. There were some good moments, such as an outlet down the left and several overlapping runs that went unnoticed.
(4) Alexis MacAllister
When the No. 8s aren’t on point, the press isn’t great, and the runners aren’t tracked, Alexis won’t be a good defensive lineman, therefore playing the Argentine in this capacity will result in days like these.
Several fouls were committed, some clumsy passing was evident even higher upfield, and he was completely caught in possession for Brighton’s first play.
Since this is not the type of game for which he was hired, you have to feel bad for him.
(6) Dominik Szoboszlai
One of his less impressive performances, although he still contributed some excellent bits and pieces in midfield. The No. 8 was unlucky not to provide an assist for Diaz when the Reds’ passing game did start to pick up.
