Dull performance. But win is a win. Matic apart from a few sloppy moments very good. The rest a bit meh.

Liverpool might be scoring a lot of goals, but they still haven't anything since 2012. And we might be playing the worst football, but we have won 3 trophies since Ferguson has left. Five points above them and still have a chance to win a trophy this season. What would you rather have, good football without trophies or boring football with trophies and better league position?

Solid. I'll take a full season of 2-0 wins in that manner.

Absolute shite. Almost as bad as against Sevilla. Doing the bare minimum, no excitement. Unfortunately people won't complain after a victory.

:lol: What a fcuking dreadful game.

2 shots on target, 2 goals. Well, at least we're clinical I guess.

As expected, a real inspired performance after Mourinho's rant.

Least we have a break now. Hopefully we can get some form in the last lot of matches of the season.

Terrific performance. Moved the ball quicker, really had Brighton against the wall, much needed improvement.

Disgusting performance. Props to Brighton for trying to entertain the home crowd.

Feck him off end of this season. Thank you very much for EL and 2nd place but I couldn't watch LVG then, I can't watch him now.

Terrible performance as expected but got the result.

Matic, Smalling, Lukaku and Mata the best players.

Ok first half
Second half though play the fecking ball forward!! Matic being the main protagonist there but gets MOTM because of a goal and assist :houllier:

Nothing to do with Jose's style in that performance just too many players playing safe passes

Maybe I just forget too quickly, but are we more boring now than under LvG or Moyesy?

Probably a good first half. Entire team seemed to fade in the 2nd half until we got the second goal. But, through to the semis and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

Wasn't great but we looked vaguely like a team again which was nice.
Most of our attackers look in poor form and low on confidence. Uncontroversial win will do them good.

Job done, professional, not the greatest watch, Matic my MOTM. Semi final, can’t complain, not much else to say really.

After the week we've had, I'm just grateful for the win.

The players desperately need this break. Hopefully we'll return a better side.
