Sometimes when you play against your old team, you can get mixed up a little bit with your emotions. You’re playing against friends, yet Alexis Mac Allister probably had one of his best games of the season against Brighton.
I thought he was excellent. He’s settled in now. Don't get me wrong, he’s been playing well all season, he’s a World Cup winner.
£35m?! You’re joking, aren’t you?! Look at what Chelsea have been paying for players, that is unbelievable business.

He’s grounded, he’s got every attribute that you want. He’s got great vision and his long-range shooting is brilliant. He was man of the match without a doubt.
Young Conor Bradley again did really, really well too. Brighton pinpointed our right-hand side with the two young lads, him and Quansah, and they did get in a few times.
But that was only because of how we attack. We left ourselves susceptible to the counter-attack.
Quansah, if I’m nit-picking for their goal, shouldn’t have let him run all the way into the box. But the lad still had a super game.
He’s a star and I thought the two of them were excellent. What you’ve got to do when you’re young, you’ve got to learn from the little mistakes that you make. They’re only babies. Whatever mistakes they make, they’ve got to be highlighted so they don’t make them again.
They are two future stars for Liverpool and they’re going to save the club millions, I really think so.
Liverpool can’t keep falling behind
There are some great things we can take out of the win over Brighton. There are some really good things, but there was also just a lack of finishing.
Nunez had a really quiet game and on another day, Mo Salah should score at least a hat-trick. But it’s all about getting the points and that’s what Liverpool did.
We got the three points, even though we had to come back from falling behind once again. We’ve done it so many times now, going a goal down. It’s been far too often and you can’t always get away with that.
It’ll go against you somewhere down the line. But it shows you what the lads have got, the resilience when they fall behind and the confidence that they can get back in the game and win the game.
You don’t want to see it too often, the slow starts. We’ve done it a few times, and, so far, gotten out of it a few times too. You can’t knock it though. Three points, happy days!
David Coote needs to dropped after shocking display
It was shocking from the referee on Sunday. We go on about referees and VAR, this Coote is notorious, he keeps on persisting in doing things against Liverpool that make you tear your hair out thinking, ‘What’s that all about?’
There were two decisions against Brighton that he didn’t even see what happened. He waited three or four seconds and then still gave the decision. One of them, he had his back towards play! He didn’t see it! What the f**k?
To be fair, he didn’t do Brighton any good either! When he’s been on VAR, he’s cost us quite a few times in the past too.
I asked Fernando Torres and Fabio Aurelio, who were at the game. I asked them, ‘What do you think of the referee?’ They said, ‘F**king hell,’ in Spanish. Unbelievably bad.
And they’re not biased like I can be. I asked them just for their honest opinion and they couldn’t believe how bad he was, so that tells you.
He didn’t give any really contentious decisions, probably a penalty call he didn’t give for Liverpool for the little pull back on Nunez, but he was just inept.
He needs to be dropped on that appearance, he was shocking. And Brighton fans will probably say the same!
