Brighton's injury altitude compared to Liverpool's cadre stability competition

Brighton's challenges were not only tactical. Injuries devastated the squad. “It is recorded that we had more injuries this season than any other side in the Premier League,” said Adi, explaining how important absences the dynamic disturbed. “Fabian did not release a unchangeable team this season … partly because of injuries, partly because he selected horses for courses.”

The rotation had the fans guessed. “I said it all the season – I don't know what our strongest team is,” admitted Adi, with the comprehensive use of young commitments and loanes of the association, which offer little consistency.

From Anfield to the Amex: Mutual respect for the transition

While Brighton fought for stability, Liverpool has carried out an impressive campaign under the new manager Arne slot. “Congratulations on winning the league,” admitted Adi. “Liverpool deserves winners … You did exactly what is needed – win football games.”

Hari remembered the opposite game in Anfield: “I thought Ayari was spectacular that day,” praised Brighton's performance in the first half before Liverpool turned the match.

Nevertheless, there is a common feeling of tiredness. “It wasn't as much as in previous years,” said Harry about Liverpool's title. “But that's probably a good thing.”

Adi ironically added: “This will annoy me forever – this last goodison derby.”

Player disposal, promising futures

The midfield was a big loss for Brighton. “Sitting together Caicedo and Mac Allister – not easy,” said Hari. Adi agreed: “You replace the two best midfielder in the country.” He praised Liverpool's acquisition by Alexis Mac Allister: “Alexis Happy makes me happy.”

In terms of replacement, names like Yasin Ayari, Carlos Baleba and Brian Guda appear. Baleba, Adi, noticed, “plays with a smile … he just is a lot of fun.” Guda's effect in the late season was also not unnoticed: “He was as emotional when he scored a goal … there will be much more.”

But the challenges remain. “We only need a populated midfield,” said Adi. “If you keep hacking and change every week, it won't work.”

Monday evening frustrations and look ahead

As for the upcoming game, Adi was open: “Why the hell is this game on a Monday evening?” The late kickoff disturbs the trip for home fans, a reality that is not lost for those who participate in the Amex.

Nevertheless, he is hopeful. “When we are motivated, I think we will win the game. João Pedro will be back – much in the shop window.” Brighton, he believes, are about to do something better next season.

Adi ended with honesty and humor and praised Liverpool's performance and complained about some of the permanent irritation of football: “Var is a joy to be constantly. You can no longer celebrate a goal.”

Since both clubs prepare for what comes next – Liverpool with silver in hand, Brighton with youth and promise – this podcast conquered respect, rivalry and the reality of a long, blue season.
