Two things can be true at the same time. I can be beyond thrilled that my team has won the Premier League - the most difficult trophy to win in club football. And I can be disappointed about the way we've approached all games since winning the league. It's OK for it to be both. Nuance is ok.

'They showed character in not an easy situation'published at 22:54 British Summer Time 19 May
FT: Brighton 3-2 Liverpool
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to Sky Sports: "We always had the self belief and we played a very mature game. We had times where we had to suffer but my team always tried to stay in the game and be intense.
"They showed character in not an easy situation. They continued playing with courage and asked for the ball which is very important for a young group.
"We all know this club tries to focus on the process and if you work hard, you get the results. It wasn't the perfect game but we had the belief.
"I'm very happy for Harry [Howell], he's had impressive development for his young age this season. The subs proved they can have an impact on the game.
On playing in Europe: "We have to do our job and focus on the next game against Tottenham and then see what happens."

Gary Neville
Former Manchester United defender on Sky SportsHe's made up for it [replacing Jurgen Klopp's personality] and more and compensated with it with his composure, a little bit of steely determination, some big decisions, how he's managed the three contract situations throughout the whole season.
It's been the perfect coaching performance. He's the best newcomer in the Premier League, winning it in his first season.
'These games are close margins with two good teams'published at 22:48 British Summer Time 19 May
FT: Brighton 3-2 Liverpool
Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking on Sky Sports, said: "It was an equal game but the moment we were 2-1 up in the second half I felt as if us scoring the third one was more likely than them scoring the 2-2. But when they scored for 2-2 momentum swung their way and then they scored the third goal which was also a close margin. These games are a very close margin because it's two very good teams on the pitch and unfortunately we didn't score the third when we had chances to."
On if squad players took their chances tonight: "I know these players already for 10 months, so it's not the first time I'm judging them, but it's nice to see Harvey [Elliott] score a goal. he had an assist, not the most difficult one, great goal by Dominik Szoboszlai and Federico [Chiesa] had a few good moments as well, especially if you take into how long he's not been playing, so unfortunately he was one of the players that had the chance to make it 1-3 when Mo [Salah] squared the ball towards him.
"In general I thought it was a good game from both sides, two very good teams wanting to play football. No timewasting, no delaying just wanting to play football and, as a result of that, we saw a great game I think."
On if he can say anything about potentially g Jeremy Frimpong: "What do you think? What we all know is the moment we announce it, that is the moment to talk about it, in general, and we haven't announced anything, so no need to talk about anyone."

Jamie Carragher
Former Liverpool defender on Sky SportsThey don't just have goalscorers, they create a lot of chances, that's why Liverpool have won the league.
Defensively, Arsenal are the better team but in of goals and chances they created, they still should've scored three tonight at least.
I think that's now 31 games out of 37 they've scored two or more in a Premier League game, which is a record which is pretty outstanding, that's why [they're champions].

'I'm really proud of the team'published at 22:37 British Summer Time 19 May
FT: Brighton 3-2 Liverpool
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "There have been a lot of highs and lows throughout the season. It's important you don't overreact and important to stay grounded and humble because there is still one game to go but I'm really proud of the team.
"It's not only about playing a football game and the tactical side but it's about the mental side too. We only can be successful if you stick together and we proved that today so we are very happy but there is one game to go.
"The players changed the intensity on the pitch. They used the goal as the wake up signal. Liverpool were impressive first 20 minutes but I was happy with the reaction.
On Brajan Gruda: "That was his best game, yes. It's important to understand that behind the player is a person and it's a very young person. He comes from a different country and he's away from his family. He never gave up and always tried to improve in training and showed character. He gets the reward for all his hardwork."
On Harry Howell: "It's a special player for his young age. I always give young players the chance because it's not about your age if you're good enough.
"Everyone knows their role, if you're a sub then you can come into the game. You always have to be ready to have an impact on it.

As a Liverpool fan, what I've learned over recent weeks is that despite wrapping the league up already, I HATE losing just as much as ever. I just want them to play full gas until it's all over. Fed up of giving rival fans bragging rights.

'Great game of football but not the result we wanted'published at 22:30 British Summer Time 19 May
FT: Brighton 3-2 Liverpool
Image source, Getty ImagesLiverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Two very good team wanting to play football, not time wasting, no diving. Momentum changed in the game and I waited for us to score the third, that would have killed the game but they made it 2-2. Great game of football but not the result we wanted.
"These moments at this level do make a difference. Just before that miss Salah gave a similar chance to Federico [Chiesa] and it was very well blocked. We played eighth in the Premier League and they were able to bring in Mitoma. That shows you about the strength of this league.
"If you don't score the third one then it's hard to win a game at this level, especially away from home. We cannot miss chances like we did if you want to win the game.
On fringe players: "Played their part in certain games and played their part on the training ground. Today and the Chelsea were moments for them. They deserve playing time. Many of them have to go to the national team so it's important for them to have their playing time and that's why we've rotated a bit. That's not why we've dropped points to Chelsea and Brighton because they are good team.
"It's going to be a completely different game than the one tonight. You saw Brighton want to press us high and bring the ball out from the back but if Palace play like their cup final then we'll have more possession than tonight but it's very difficult to play through them."

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, speaking to Premier League Productions: "I cannot say we are very sad but we didn't come here to lose, we wanted to win. We showed in the first 70 minutes that we wanted to get the three points and take them home. We faced a tough Brighton team and they deserved to win. They looked like they wanted it more.
"It's hard to talk about because we've won the league already but we don't come here to lose. We gave everything against Arsenal too and we will on Sunday because it's the final home game and the fans deserve it.
"It was a cross, to be honest. I'm not going to lie but I'm happy to help the team.
"We have a weeks training and 90 minutes to play. We're going to lift the trophy and everyone's dreams will come true."

I think the ball comes across and it sat up perfectly and I tapped it in. There was a nervous wait until the goal was allowed but when it was allowed it was pure relief."
On coming on with his cousin Harry Howell: "It was a really nice moment coming on with my cousin. We've been working so hard since we were kids. Playing together since we were just born kicking balls with each other, so to come on together and he made a great run across the front post to open the gap for me, so I'll be thanking him later."
On his baby celebration: "I've been due a goal a while and the Mrs has been banging on to me about bringing the celebration in, so we've got a baby on the way. We're really excited, it's my first one, so excited to be making a family together."

With so much of PL play based on small margins and percentages, what motivation does a player have for raising their game for a league they’ve already won? Potentially getting injured for nothing. Can’t blame the Liverpool lads for playing at 30% tonight; you can’t argue with the fact they have earned the right!

Re Abdul 21:59 - The difference between a a great title winning side and merely a good one. Arsenal's Invincibles and City's Centurions didn't hit the beach once they'd wrapped the league up.

Having failed to score in any of his first 32 Premier League appearances, Yasin Ayari has scored two goals in his past four games for Brighton
Premier League champions Liverpool twice let a lead slip as Brighton fought back in style to gain a victory that boosts their slim hopes of securing European football next season.
Substitute Jack Hinshelwood proved to be the match-winner as he made an instant impact and tapped in Matt O'Riley's cross in the 85th minute, with the goal being given following a check by the video assistant referee (VAR) after it had originally been ruled offside.
The Reds led 1-0 and then 2-1 at half-time, before the Seagulls recovered well to move eighth in the table, three points above Brentford.
In an entertaining match at Amex Stadium, Liverpool took a ninth-minute lead through Harvey Elilott following good work from Conor Bradley, before Yasin Ayari equalised with a low strike.
But Dominik Szoboszlai restored the Reds' advantage in fortunate fashion.
He and Elliott combined to take a quick free-kick, and from the right side of the penalty area Szoboszlai seemingly attempted a cross into the box, only for the ball to fly over the head of home goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen into the net.
Alisson produced a superb fingertip save to deny Danny Welbeck, but could do nothing about Kaoru Mitoma's strike when he showed great technique to make it 2-2 before Hinshelwood's winner.
The Seagulls travel to Tottenham on Sunday's final day of the season, and the team that finishes eighth may qualify for the Uefa Conference League.
However, for that to happen, Chelsea would need to beat Real Betis in the 2025 final on Wednesday, 28 May and then finish seventh in the Premier League, or sixth as long as Newcastle then came seventh.

Captain Salah misses chance to level record
Arne Slot's side won the title with four games to spare, but have now picked up only two points since. They become the first side in the Premier League era to not win any of their next three matches in the same campaign after becoming champions.
Just as Chelsea and Arsenal had done, Brighton's players gave Liverpool a guard of honour as the Reds ran on to the field.
Slot gave game time to some fringe of his squad with Federico Chiesa handed a first Premier League start since his £10m move from Juventus in August.
Virgil van Dijk, who had played every minute of Liverpool's league campaign, remained among the substitutes, meaning Mohamed Salah, in his 400th game for the club, was named captain for the first time in a Premier League match.
Joy to watch both teams - Slot
The Reds only needed nine minutes to go ahead with Szoboszlai's cross-field superb flicked on by Salah into Bradley's path. The right-back then did excellently to get to the byeline and his was steered into the net by Elliott.
Bradley, looking to show what he can do with Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving the club in the summer and set to Real Madrid, had a glorious chance to double the Reds' advantage but watched his side-footed shot go wide of the post after good work from Chiesa.
Alexander-Arnold also remained an unused substitute, as Slot opted to not have a repeat of the scenes in which the England international was booed by his own fans when he came on during the 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
But Brighton's desire for victory proved greater as Ayari finished off a fine move following Brajan Gruda's assist, although Szoboszlai's fortunate goal restored Liverpool's advantage.
The hosts were the better team after the break and credit must go to boss Fabian Hurzeler as his substitutions proved key, with Mitoma scoring within five minutes of his introduction and Hinshelwood netting 78 seconds after coming on.
That goal from Hinshelwood was the fourth quickest by a substitute in the Premier League this season after he came on with his 17-year-old cousin Harry Howell, who became the youngest Brighton player.
Salah only needs one goal or assist to match the Premier League-era record of 47 goal contributions in one season, currently held by Alan Shearer and Andrew Cole, although their totals came in 42-game campaigns.
With Liverpool leading 2-1, the Egyptian had a great chance to put the game beyond Brighton, only to shoot wide from eight yards when in a central position - and that miss proved crucial.
Salah will have one last chance to match the goal contributions record as Liverpool host FA Cup winners Crystal Palace on Sunday, when the Reds will be presented with the Premier League trophy.

Match Facts
Having lost four of their first five Premier League home games against Liverpool (D1), Brighton are now unbeaten in their last two against the Reds at the Amex Stadium in the competition.
Liverpool have won their last two Premier League games against Brighton, having won just one of their previous seven against the Seagulls beforehand (D4 L2).
A goal in this match will see Liverpool become only the ninth side to score in 100% of their away games in an English top-flight season (something the Reds have never achieved in any league season before), and only the fourth to do so in a league with at least 20 teams in it, after both Arsenal and Manchester United in 2001-02 (19 games), and Arsenal in 1930-31 (21 games).
Brighton lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their final home league game of 2023-24, but haven’t done so in consecutive campaigns since a run of three between 2005-06 and 2007-08.
Liverpool haven’t lost their final away league game in any of the last six campaigns (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss to Chelsea in 2017-18. Their last two have seen 14 goals scored in total – a 4-4 draw with Southampton in 2022-23 and a 3-3 stalemate with Aston Villa last season.
Brighton have lost just one of their last seven Premier League home games (W4 D2), going down 3-0 against Aston Villa in April.
Liverpool have lost two of their last three Premier League away games (W1), as many as they had in their previous 30 (W17 D11). They lost 3-1 at Chelsea last time out, last losing consecutively on the road in the league in March/April 2023.
Brighton’s Danny Welbeck – enjoying his best ever goalscoring season in the Premier League with 10 – has been involved in four goals in his last five Premier League appearances against Liverpool (2 goals, 2 assists).
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has scored 16 away goals in the Premier League this season, the t-most in a single campaign in the competition’s history (level with Harry Kane in 2022-23 and Kevin Phillips in 1999-00).
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah could make his 300th Premier League appearance in this match. He would be just the fourth African player to reach this milestone, after Kolo Touré (353), Wilfried Zaha (305), and Jordan Ayew (303).
