We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Brighton and Crystal Palace.

Here are some of your comments:

Brighton fans:

Sarah: Same old Brighton. 64% possession, 17 vs 13 shots on target and we still managed to lose. Apart from 10 minutes at the start of the second half, we looked lacklustre and out of ideas. Poor play from all our 'best' players. Enciso was the only player who seemed to care. With the biggest spend on players ever, fans are right to expect better. Hurzeler needs to do something about this now.

Liam: No shortage of effort to try and turn it around in the second half, but we got a lesson in how to hold shape, and how to defend. Hurzeler with work to do, and a decision to make on whether this current defensive unit is good enough.

Archie: We had a really poor first half, looked disinterested, lost the ball too easily and played without any intensity on and off the ball. We didn't make it difficult for Palace at all. Best spell was in the second half, we were quite unlucky to not get another goal, but we were flat and unconvincing for the majority of the game. We really missed Veltman again. Lamptey's defensive game isn't good enough. Poor display but still back Hurzeler to turn it around.

Robert: Where do I start? Too many players lacking passion to win this game. They wanted it more than us and once they scored we never looked like getting back in the game. If you can't raise your game for a game against your biggest rivals I'm slightly concerned. Another terrible day in an awful December so far for the Albion. We can and must do better than this.

Palace fans:

Gavin: Good to see Palace execute a clear game plan and the first half was excellent for Palace in the way we fashioned the two goals. Second half we had to absorb a great deal of pressure with Henderson making some excellent saves. Palace definitely the better side and a deserved win.

Robert: Palace are just growing from strength to strength after a dismal start to the season. A 3-1 victory at the Amex was wishful thinking, but again thanks to some amazing performances by Will Hughes, Daniel Munoz and especially Dean Henderson - who again produced some world class saves - it was our day. To top it all was Sarr's second goal - heading the ball down to his own feet to produce a superb goal. Well done the Eagles!

Richard: Fantastic, great game plan by Glasner. Soaked up the pressure in both halves and took our chances well. The team seemed supremely composed throughout. Up the table we go.

Neil: An excellent result against one of our long-standing rivals, especially as it was away. Asserted themselves early in the game and maintained the pressure. Encouraging to see the boys building some momentum and stepping up to beat one of the top sides. A huge relief.
