The Whites, without Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, looked a pale imitation of themselves in the 2-0 defeat.
7. Gjanni Alioski - 3
Carelessly gave away a penalty, gave the ball away, gave Brighton too much joy on his flank. Hooked at the break.
8. Mateusz Klich - 4
A poor display. Livened up a little for a spell in the second half but couldn't get anything going, offensively. Struggled to disrupt Brighton's possession.
9. Tyler Roberts - 4
Couldn't get on the ball to make things happen, so there was no link between defence and attack.
10. Jack Harrison - 4
Had so many chances to deliver from crosses or set-pieces and simply didn't deliver. A few nice dribbles aside, a poor performance
11. Patrick Bamford - 5
No touches anywhere near the Brighton goal, no impact in the game. Much of that was down to a lack of service but he didn't impose himself at all.
12. Ian Poveda - 5
A couple of nice dribbles but nothing at the end of it. Tried to get on the ball and drive at players, at least, but couldn't find his team-mates.
