I dunno... so you can push a defender 6' out of position, then immediately play the ball straight into the space he was defending and score?

I expect part of this is the way we now have enough players up front to be able to rotate them. When all we had was Mane/Firmino/Salah and that combo played every game then it's understandable that they knew what the guys either side of them would do and could play those blind/first-touch passes.

3-1 is the most Liverpool score... although this week I predicted 2-1 - oh well I'd take that 3rd goal any day of the week

Such a mess from start to finish. Alisson/VVD at least partly responsible for all their goals and on another day weirdly it seems we could have had a clean sheet. Having said that, felt like they dominated us for most of the game but maybe that's a bit of the whole "...equality feels like oppression" thing given that the possession & passes stats look to be in our favour (although shots most definitely not!).

If not for the defensive cock-ups on both sides, game would have finished 0-0 lol.

I'm very shocked - as I think everybody is. Not long since he signed the contract extension which came with lots of positive words. Exciting team rebuild just getting established and he seemed revitalized recently. I guess go out on a high and not after one season too many?

Sad to hear Pep & co also moving on... although big name managers usually have a backroom team they bring so maybe that's not unexpected.

The 2026 date segued nicely with the expiry of Alonso's contact too... Wonder if we can tempt him over early?

2nd half is going to kick off. Lackadaisical reffing for fouls and pernickety reffing for any reaction to that... players are going to start taking it out on each other.

Every ref knows you can play advantage AND then come back for a delayed yellow card, right?

Thought this was about Reddit for a second 😆

(Yes yes, the logo, I know...)

Nice to see Alisson back early (?)

Several lovely pin-point crosses from the right... probably TAA... right to Tsimikas' feet already.

Surprised at the number of empty seats I can see 10 mins in.

I find it astonishing that, after umpteen years, if Mo gets the ball onto his left foot at just that spot on the side of the box it's going in the back of the net. The keepers all know what he's about to do and where he's going to put it but are powerless to stop it.

I never understand why so many people who are measurably disadvantaged by their platform will vote for it. Oh right, it's because drag queens are the real enemy.

These are the people who see libraries, universities etc as liberal machines.

If education hurts your platform...
