There's only one Tariq Lamptey - and Albion will miss him against Liverpool.
Graham Potter recognised as much as he looked forward to hosting the champions.
Albion fans have not seen their right-sided flyer in Premier League action in the flesh yet due to the lockout.
That means they have still not had chance to sing his praises, other than for 45 minutes in the Chelsea friendly.
But Potter gave them a cue for a song as he pondered solutions while Lamptey faces a one-match ban for the Liverpool game.
The Seagulls boss said: “There’s plenty of possibilities, that’s the positive I suppose with using players in different positions.
“It goes without saying there isn’t another Tariq, though. We have to be honest about that.

“That affects how you are attacking to a certain extent because clearly the attributes he brought are important to our attacking game.
“But we’ve got other solutions and different solutions.
“That is part of the work we have been doing this week, to make sure we go with the right option.”
