Robbo gets soundly beaten to the inside, which just can’t happen. Give them the touch line, but never allow them inside.
Alisson with a great save, but the lack of awareness by every LFC player leads to the goal.
When it rains, it pours. The team has some key injuries, but far more depth and quality than what we’re seeing.
#LFC

I'm quite sad that I have to maintain my silence.
#lfc

I'm quite sad that I have to maintain my silence.
#lfc

The #LFC defense has narcolepsy, Good block from Bradley, but should it have been necessary?

Cheeky attempt from Mo there.
#LFC

Isak off to a bright start AND #LFC players are finding him.

Hamstring injury for Frimpong. 😩
#LFC

how in the world is that a foul on Frimpong?
#LFC

Lol, Frimpong with a ping pong shot that scores.
#LFC

The captain! Great way to silence the critics.
#LFC

Never safer than a Gomez free look on goal. One day... 🙏
#LFC

Big save from Alisson after three defenders nearly bungled it.
#LFC

Alisson with a fine save after a set piece is initially defended and #LFC do their classic trick of going to sleep and not closing down everything after.

Gorgeous counterattack! Salah to Szoboszlai to Ekitike. Offside though.
#LFC

Great cross from Gakpo and Bradley did well with the header, but a fine save.
#LFC

Does removing Konate improve the defense? This is what I’m genuinely pondering.
#LFC

Gomez has looked really solid. Cut out a decent looking counter before it could get started.
#LFC

Van Dijk with a Konate moment. Can't break up that partnership, even with one not even present.
#LFC

Close from Mac Allister! Pushed it a yard wide.
Good stretch of minutes, but compare how narrow #LFC are in possession to that of Marseilles. It's like a practice drill where you're playing on a tiny pitch.

Good movement now. Forest always outstanding at blocking shots. They’ve had some key ones.
#LFC

Gakpo! I feared Gravenberch had waited too long, but his pass caught a tired Pavard leaning the wrong way.
#LFC

Really good save from the Marseille keeper. Surprised he was so disciplined, as I was buying pass all day.
#LFC

The goal is to claw back to a Champions League spot, which seems laughable presently, but the span from 11th where #LFC currently languish to 4th will be anywhere from 2-5 points by the end of the weekend. There are a lot of "ifs" required, but there is enough talent in the squad that it should be possible to make a decent push towards it.
The priority must be to shore up the defense. K…

I thought Kerkez was good today. Not asked to do much, but he was steady and he needs to have a bit of that.
#LFC

Oh my goodness, Gakpo gifts Salah a free run in on goal and he's got Jones for a tap in and instead duffs it badly.
#LFC

Szoboszlai! Gem of a free kick, keeping it low and tucking it just beyond the keeper's reach!
Happy to have that one, after a tough week.
#LFC

In fairness, I’m not sure that was a handball for the disallowed goal. The replays were all terrible, so the on field decision must stand.
#LFC

We are imploding. Mac Allister gambles again in such a high risk scenario and the rest of the squad cannot rotate in defense.
Shambles.
#LFC

Could a team be worse defending corners?
Could be offsides if we hold the same precedent as City. We all know how this standard works.
#LFC

Could have been two yellows issued, despite advantage being played on the clip of Frimpong. None given, which is fine. Referee has been good overall.
#LFC

Gravenberch is not off to a great start. A scuffed header led to the best Marseilles chance and just now easily dispossessed.
Needs to settle in a bit.
#LFC

Sadly an OG, but the first touch from Frimpong on the driving dribble was fantastic. A much sharper angle than I expected, but his speed is such that it makes sense.
#LFC

Ekitikeeeeeeeee!!!!!
What a strong run and clinical finish. Great one time pass from Robbo, who might be slower, but still sees the field excellently.
#LFC

With a Champions League spot in reach, a strong case could be made to sell Salah in the January window in order to buttress the central defense.
I’m not sure it’s what I want and I would weep because I adore him as a player and a person. But #LFC are weak defensively and Salah’s impact is waning faster than his value.
Food for thought. Bitter, yes, but sometimes emotion has to be removed a…

It’s like we’re living in an episode of Quantum Leap and the show has opened with Scott Bakula’s character finding himself trying to play central defense as Konate.
I genuinely can’t understand what has happened to him. He’s so far off where he once was.
#LFC

Konate’s defending on the wrongly disallowed goal was very poor. He got wrong sided and lunged in effectively. Earlier, he panicked and scuffed the ball out for a corner that would become the wrongly allowed goal. (Yes, I’m petty.)
It’s not solely his play that is sinking #LFC this season, but the inability to replace him might well be. Shipping goals to team that have no real attack and having t…

Reading the Bradley & Wirtz injury news. With Frimpong out still, will Slot go with Gomez or put Szoboszlai at RB again? Endo? Curtis Jones?
I might initially try Szoboszlai and put Curtis Jones in the middle, allowing the freedom to pivot in the second half. For me, both will be on the pitch, and I think Dom has better defensive capacity. But you sure hate to blunt his progressive impact.
#LFC

Isak! Great reaction from #LFC in the quick counter and a lovely vertical pass from Wirtz.

This season has been so cruel.
#LFC

I am literally screaming “just possess”!
#LFC

Hope that’s a cramp for Wirtz and not a hamstring.
#LFC

Head injury. How does John Brooks not know this? Basic.
#LFC

Clown shown defending. Just buffoonery in clearing loose balls.
#LFC

Ludicrous foul by Xavi. Thats a red all day, but Brooks gives a yellow.
#LFC

Romero is always his own worst enemy. Really talented, but so radioactive mentally.
#LFC

Ekitike! Climbs a ladder (and maybe a push) and confuses the keeper with the near post tap.
#LFC

John Brooks always looks like he’s in over his head. His decisions don’t dispel that notion either.
#LFC

Costly win. Isak looks like he’ll be out for a while. Szoboszlai will have a yellows accumulation suspension for some transgression I didn’t see and the coverage couldn’t be bothered to find. Wirtz hobbled off at the end.
It should have been done and dusted, but loose balls in the box continue to be #LFC’s undoing. They give up one and then forget how to play. Konate continues to have the yips an…

Konate shuts off mentally again. If #LFC is still renegotiating a contract renewal, they should tear it up.

Key block by Gravenberch. Thats a spot where #LFC often concede: ball played back to the top of the box and they’ve sagged too deep.

Would you pay 20m for a top CB? We wouldn’t.
#LFC

Do my eyes deceive me or was that a dangerous counter FOR #LFC ?

Hate a high penalty attempt. Used to always teach that nobody misses under the goal.
#LFC

Offsides AND a handball to disallow Ekitike’s goal. 😤
No argument. Clear as day.
#LFC

Should be 2-0 or even 3-0 but a good clearance off the line keeps it 1-0.
Wirtz looking so, so dangerous.
#LFC

Konate forcing Alisson into a ridiculous save. He had ages to think about his touch and that’s what he produced?!?
#LFC

Wirtz with a missile! 🚀
Great work by Ekitike to create the havoc and then Jones with a great pick out to find Flo.
#LFC

What a waste. This is on the players. Dom needs to bury the PK. Konate cannot get the damn yips and shut down mentally (again). Non penalty xG was 2.16 to 0.33, Burnley having cleared two off the line.
Players need to finish, sure, but it’s the mental mistakes that cost 2 points.
Cruel sport, sometimes.
#LFC

8 minutes seems excessive #LFC

Brighton really should be level. #LFC

Chiesa absolutely spoon feeding Salah late.
#LFC

Wirtz returns the favor to Ekitike. Class from both.
#LFC

Absolute rip by Frimpong on his weaker foot (but don't tell him that!)
#LFC

If Gakpo could develop a left-footed shot, it would change everything.
#LFC

Fantastic save from Alisson. Bails out a sleeping weak side defense.
#LFC

Lovely touch from Ekitike to free Florian. Should have a brace, but we'll take it.
#LFC

I had thought this to be the 3rd of 3 really tough games. Win one and I’d be happy because entering this stretch, #LFC were really playing poorly. We’ve won 2 and I thought we’re playing with house money.
City, at home, have been excellent and LFC less so. I was braced for a loss and at peace with that possibility. Bad luck on two goals can happen, but damn this officiating farce. I am livid abou…

This could be disastrous. Szoboszlai has been the glue holding everything together.
#LFC

Salah in for an injured Gomez. Wouldn’t it be a delicious trolling if Slot played him at RB?
#LFC

You thought he was tiring, but Ekitike does not tire of scoring. A brace and should have more.
#LFC

If that doesn't start the game with a jolt of adrenaline, I don't know what will. Wake up, defense!
#LFC

Dumbest goal we've conceded this year? ✅
Unnecessarily fancy and perhaps a bit of showboating.
#LFC

Szoboszlai said jokingly after Arsenal that he needed more shooting practice. There you have it.
Didn't even celebrate.
#LFC

Kerkez has been decent lately, but he fell asleep on that give and go and Van Dijk gave him a solid rebuke afterwards. 📣 ‼️
#LFC

As the commentators correctly point out, Konate sliding for a loose touch on a ball 40 yards from goal - while on a yellow card - is madness!
#LFC

Great start! Ekitike with a nice and tight run and does well on the bounce. Gomez another assist. Per 90 his goal involvement (sans goals! 😂) must be incredible this season.
#LFC

Craig Pawson really is one of the better referees. Despite calling a non-foul a foul by Gravenberch, he’s been otherwise quite good. Consistent and letting them play, with neither side benefiting. Difficult balance.
#LFC

My partisan eyes, watching live, thought that it was a dive, based on the way Cleary's legs suddenly stopped working. Replay shows Dom gets ball. Was there enough of a push? Live and on replay, I don't think so.
Not sure what VAR would have done because 🙃
#LFC

Not even a yellow for a raking boot down the torso?!? I take back what I said about Pawson. That’s a ridiculously favorable ruling for Brighton.
I can, at least, see an argument for VAR not recommending a red card, but I cannot fathom how that is just your common foul.
#LFC

Sunderland didn't have much going forward, but they were excellent in defensive organization and shot blocking.
I hate playing against a low-block, 5-man backline, but I would do the same. That #LFC continue to allow teams to go up early and then relax in that setup makes everything so difficult.
#LFC

It feels to me like that’s Mo’s last game. The way players were trying to feed him for the fairytale ending?
His vision is still elite, but his speed is gone (Dunk beat him in a dead sprint from that lovely Mac Allister ball into space) and his passing and shooting accuracy have diminished as well.
I will always love what he did for #LFC, his class (gracefully weighing his miscalculation la…

Jones and Gravenberch, playing not necessarily as double pivots, but certainly playing as a reserved tandem… that’s working. Both having a good game (Jones has been incredible all season!)
Wirtz looks like he’s really figured out the speed of the league. Ascendant, these last several games. I’ve been trying to figure out his movement. He’s everywhere, similar to Jones in the back.
#LFC

One could make an argument that #LFC is looking to shed distractions in order to right the ship. The Carabao Cup is perhaps one such distraction. This starting lineup and bench selection is not the strongest.
But it will be great to see Woodman, Ramsay, Morrison, and Nyoni in action (alongside Ngumoha, of course).
Palace doesn't have their full strength either, but are a lot closer to i…

Van Dijk!!!!
#LFC

It wouldn't be a proper #LFC match without me once yelling at my TV to "call the penalty, you cowards!" Graeme Le Saux suggesting "Wirtz's leg actually came into Trossard" had me apoplectic.
Trossard already being on a yellow does not excuse a body check with no touch on the ball.
Ah, but the touch was heavy? So was the touch on Konate's penalty vs Leeds. In …

No luck, but bad luck.
#LFC

The “giant Georgian”!
#LFC

Doku really has been spectacular. MOTM easily. #LFC

Token foul for Salah,so as not to appear one-sided.
#LFC

It’s a looooong time to review a clear and obvious error.
#LFC

The case for John Brooks awarding this soft penalty for Everton is so much thinner than the one HE overlooked on VAR for Wirtz at Arsenal. If this is a penalty, then that absolutely was.
I think he’s still sore about Klopp defiantly celebrating a late goal in his face as the fourth official. The one that did Klopp’s hamstring. 😂
#LFC

Good save on Szoboszlai by Donnarumma. It would have been disallowed had it gone in for reasons to be determined later. 🧂
#LFC

Great ball across from Salah. Would have made it 2-2* if Gakpo finished it.
* yes, I know, but I’m petty like that.
#LFC

Nonsense. Doku is in the exact same sight line. Letter of the law, but not the spirit of it.
Always uphill against PGMOL.
#LFC

The closure wasn’t quick enough, but that’s some bad luck. City have been better, certainly, but this scoreline should be closer.
#LFC

Difficult to compete with Haaland in the air, but Konate should have done better, which is a recurring theme. He is a mess this season. 😢
#LFC

Szoboszlai is back to MOTM performances. I thought he was absolutely terrific. With Gravenberch as his backstop and Wirtz and Bradley floating around in triangular support, he was able to keep #LFC in possession and deny Arsenal a lot of possession.
Frimpong is so ridiculously fast and can certainly dribble, but the question is the final ball. It does make you want to see him on the right and Ngu…

Did VAR even look at it? If so, that review was FAR shorter than the penalty given and even shorter than checking to see if Marmadashvilli was off his line for the save.
We just want consistency and this smells bad.
#LFC

I don’t know how we can look at a replay for minutes to determine if there was contact and decide to give the penalty, then disallow a goal in seconds when there is clear evidence the player was not in Donnaruma’s sight line.
PGMOL is such a disgrace.
#LFC

I have to time-shift today's match, which might be a mercy!
Having seen the lineups, allow me to say up front that I wish Slot would have started Jones over Mac Allister.
#LFC
