I can see the logic of giving Suarez the pen as it was a cup game, and therefore goal difference isn't a factor. Having said that, he was always going to miss, he's a great player but I think he's a pretty poor penalty taker.
Andy Carroll did very well yesterday, he was getting held and pushed all game, but he gave it back and got a goal and a very good assist for Suarez.
I thought Gerrard looked a bit off yesterday, which is a surprise. Downing looked poor too, which isn't a surprise. I still don't see what Henderson actually does either.
I thought the defence did very well, especially Skrtel who has stepped his game up this year.
I think the scoreline did flatter us somewhat, Brighton are a decent side who pass the ball and attack, which probably suited us more than a team coming and parking the bus.
