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.

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

#LFC shot hits the post? Definitely not going in. Close from Bradley. Unlucky.

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

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

The right opponent at the right time for #LFC but one game does not a trend make. Away at Brentford will be a challenge.
* Szoboszlai was my MOTM before the goal. Unquestionably afterwards.
* Wirtz was great, a pair of assists and worked so well with Szoboszlai & Jones.
* Ekitike must always start. He plays with a sophistication far beyond his years, combining well with Wirtz.

Hamstring injury for Frimpong. 😩
#LFC

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

Definitely a more active press in the second half. I like it.
#LFC

There is your Wirtz assist. So many should have been. Gakpo with a tap-in.
#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

Konate! Thunderous header. Another CB finding a way to silence the critics, lol.
#LFC

Absolute worm-burner from Szoboszlai, who was already my MOTM. Another assist for Wirtz.
#LFC

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

Nice to have the good fortune to play a team worse at defending corners than we are! 😉
#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

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

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

Unlucky for Mo. A square pass would have scored, but you can't fault him for trying to bury it there. I wish he would have, not for the scoreline, but instead for his confidence.
#LFC

Chiesa still sprinting to win the ball, ahead by 4 goals. 😍
Slot has to give him more minutes. Maybe he is best as a super sub, but shouldn't you have to give him a look with some regular starts too?
#LFC

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

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…

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…

Only one person has to be marked on corners. An #LFC botch it.

I know what the narrative will be, but it’s inaccurate. #LFC had 2.76 xG versus 1.26 for United. Gakpo hit the post three times. Salah missed a chance he never misses. The referee, I think reasonably, did not blow the play dead on a head injury, resulting in a goal. A handball in the box was correctly not given.
My point is that it took a lot of good fortune for United to win. It’s clear that LFC…

Indefensible ruling by Oliver on that foul. My god that’s terrible.
#LFC

He’s been off target, but Ekitike has come on strong and determined. I like it.
#LFC

I don’t even know what to say about Salah. Bereft of confidence.
Even Gakpo would have hit the woodwork…
#LFC

Still time. One team is a goal over double their xG and winning. The other is on half their xG and losing. It just takes a finish. The chances are there.
#LFC

Head injury should stop play, but it’s asking too quick of a decision from a referee I think. I didn’t know it was a head injury at the time, to be fair. Goal stands, regardless. Defense has really been a weakness this early season.
#LFC

There is reason for hope. #LFC aren’t playing well, but the stats are generally even. If anything LFC have had the better attack: xG of 0.09 to 0.58. Chelsea have gotten into dangerous positions, but have only one shot on target to show for it. (It was a howitzer though.)
LFC can improve with subs. Can Chelsea?

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…

8 minutes seems excessive #LFC

Brighton really should be level. #LFC

Chiesa absolutely spoon feeding Salah late.
#LFC

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s #LFC so we round up all VAR reviews. It’s not corrections of clear and obvious errors, but rather adjudication from afar.
Ridiculous.

Ekitike!!!! What a calm and collected finish.
#LFC

Ten minutes plus stoppage time for Konate to blow the lead.
#LFC

Gakpo does so many things right, but his mistakes are killing good chances.
#LFC

My kingdom for competent defending. Asking unseriously if Konate is match fixing.
#LFC

Unlucky on the deflection and unlucky on the crossbar just before. Good spell of minutes for #LFC here.

Brace from Ekitike! Hiuge energy to win back the ball and Bradley delivers a peach of a ball in.
#LFC

Gorgeous dummy by Mac Allister and the man who has carried this insipid squad all year finishes beautifully.
#LFC

Good cross in from Gakpo, but the better choice was to feed the completely undefended Kerkez underlap into the box.
#LFC

I don’t know what to say. We are terrible on set pieces. Just terrible.
Here is a place where I think it’s absolutely fair to lambast Slot.
#LFC

This is the year of the set piece. A big part of Arsenal winning close games is their ability to conjure a moment when other parts of the attack are misfiring. Long throws back in vogue as well.
#LFC are near the bottom of the league on both sides. Can’t defend them and can’t score them.
Watching back the tying goal is an agony. Zonal marking can absolutely work, but it hasn’t at all for LF…

Oh this decision is madness. #LFC

Courtois always plays against #LFC like he's sold his soul to the devil. That's a great save.

Two minutes of stoppage is a joke.
#LFC

What a touch by Isak to lay it down.
#LFC

Honestly, that's the correct call. It's also NEVER a call #LFC would get on the other end.

Fucking Anthony Taylor. My god, what an absolute hack!
#LFC

Courtois and then everyone else. My god, they are so lucky.
#LFC

Slot never one to shy away from a bold substitution. 😳
#LFC

Referee didn't even look at that challenge. It's a yellow for sure.
#LFC

Real Madrid don't get called for fouls often, but when they do... 🟨
#LFC

Ten minutes in, exceeded the shot output for the first half. Improved.
