Liverpool headed into the game looking to get revenge on Brighton after their last encounter.

The Seagulls put three past Liverpool recently in a Premier League match.

And, at the time of writing, the score remains deadlocked at 0-0 but both sides have come close to opening the scoring.

Liverpool had the first decent chance of the game when Mohamed Salah saw his chance cleared off the line by Lewis Dunk.

Brighton had a chance of their own cleared off the line 14 minutes in, this time by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Following the Seagulls’ chance, one Liverpool player has come in for heavy criticism online.

Said player is Thiago, who has given the ball away in a number of dangerous positions early on the in the clash, including for the effort that forced TAA into a clearance.

Just some of the reaction to Thiago’s poor start can be seen below:

Luxury player him all you want but Thiago has lost silly possession that nearly led to a goal twice in 15 minutes. I’d rather have a solid midfielder

I dont get that pass from Thiago at all. Playing Salah with his back to the goal and a man behind him. When the right side was open. Almost costed a goal.. #LFC
