Kenny Dalglish of signatures, because of his second coming as Liverpool did not, however, public acceptance, but his performance in recruiting cheaper this summer has gone some way to convince skeptics that the Director has received at least one of the deal.

Welsh scored a goal, played a key role in the second of his team, which was marked by Dirk Kuyt and added a tug Andy Carroll, for example, has not yet provided. Its quick and incisive interaction with Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez and Luis Suarez gave Liverpool a dangerous dimension that differs from the relatively static work tends to support the deployment of Carroll. Dalglish has welcomed the additional option.

"Craig was fantastic," said Dalglish. "When it came to that which would have made the bet and did not take much he loves playing football He's very enthusiastic and in good condition are all connected to each other very well -... Craig, Maxi, Dirk, and Suarez - because is a good, smart football player, because all they are. "

"We were not there for the first half hour of one reason or another," Gus Poyet Brighton manager said. "But you have to pay tribute to Liverpool, especially their four offensive players. They traveled at their best. Sometimes it does not matter how good you are or what system you play when you encounter the quality like this, you will suffer. "

The pain began immediately. At the time, Bellamy fired Liverpool ahead in the seventh minute goal seemed overdue. He arrived with a simple mortal. After careful interaction on the left side, Suárez awarded Bellamy an intelligent race with a clever through-ball and the Welsh swept the ball into the net with his left foot from six yards.

Liverpool monopolized the ball. The home page center-forward, Craig Mackail-Smith cleared an effort from his line of Kuyt in the 20th minute. Suárez shooting bad moments later, after a large ball with Bellamy.

Three times before the break, Liverpool struck part of the goal. First Suarez skimmed the post with a header from Bellamy, a free throw. In the kick other, 35 meters, Bellamy became a lightning grazed the crossbar. Two minutes before the interval Jay Spearing hit the base of the post from outside the region.

That, however, marked the end of the domination of Liverpool Brighton so suddenly recovered. It seemed hard to believe that the hosts would break with only a one-goal deficit, but almost in a position in late June, after his best play of the game, Craig does not require an awkward stop Pepe Reina.

"I will not tell you what I said but I was at my best," said Poyet to talk about his team's half. It worked. The team was assisted by Sebastian Coates, whose sloppy pass in the 47th minutes presented the ball to None. midfielder, who in a previous incarnation was a roofer working on the house of Steven Gerrard, has presented its expertise in its recent occupation by a superb shot from 25 yards on the crossbar.

Liverpool had to withstand intense pressure, applies to all methodical elegance Poyet has become one of the sides that are difficult to promote the Premier League who just graduated from the Champions League. In 81 minutes, however, Liverpool scored against the attack. Bellamy was again influential collection of Rodriguez with a pass from the left. The Argentine was the last defender before pushing the ball to Kuyt, who headed the bottom. In the field, to join the celebration was Gerrard, who arrived as a substitute to make his first appearance after six months with a groin injury.

It 'was overshadowed during the night, but no more than a substitute for Brighton. Vicente, a former Spanish international Poyet who is attracted by the south coast, became an hour and showed his class at the last minute when it passes into the box and threw a wild tackle from Jamie Carragher. Ashley Barnes converted the penalty with aplomb. "If we can get a satisfactory pace and madness of the English game, he's an incredible player for us," said Poyet 30 years, Spanish. All of a sudden does not seem absurd to Bellamy Liverpool fans are the same thoughts.
