Had to time-shift #LFC because of a meeting. 😠 But now I've gone FT and, wow! There is so much to unpack.
Firstly, I agree with Slot's comments. It was certainly very intense, but quality football was not possible. Newcastle seemingly poured all their frustrations about the Isak situation and wanting to be a top club into this, making it an absolute powder keg. As if winning would somehow…

Dreamy offseason for #LFC. Wirtz, Frimpong, and Kerkez are all terrific, youthful replacements/upgrades. Frimpong/Bradley should be fascinating... start determined by the matchup?
Expecting to see Robbo exit. End of an era for one of my favs. 😢
Elliott too, who Slot won't give preference in a crowded midfield. Hughes has to love that he's seemingly on a grudge showcase tour for the …

Also amazing… in the possession ending in the game winning goal, 10/11 players touched the ball. The only one who didn’t?

My MOTM is easily Szoboszlai. He was very serviceable at RB, with his pace and stamina keeping a difficult situation from being a nightmare.
And his dummy on Rio's game winner? :chefkiss: I actually cried because it was so beautiful. Honestly, I did. 😂 Put that whole passing combination into a museum.
(And while Mo had a quiet and frustrating day, that was his second one-touch inward pass that created a big chance.)

LFC have been close on a lot of tight action, but hadn't gotten the bounces. Ekitike got a fortunate bounce and then had the keeper leaning the wrong way. Cool as you'd like in finishing opposite side.

Disappointed that Luis Diaz wants out and surprised that it's to the Bundesliga. It always seemed Barcelona was his preferred destination one day in the nebulous future. This seems sudden. Is Bayern the choice because Barcelona is not possible at present?
And it's an odd counterpoint to Wirtz, who preferred #LFC to Bayern chiefly because of Slot's tactical acumen and plans for him. Fo…

We can give up a 4v2 goal, but Mo can score a 1v4 goal. How about it?

Really great finish by Chiesa! Superb technique. He was on a full sprint to the corner before the ball was even in the net.

Good run by Gakpo, who had a heavy touch, then a clever touch to move past the shot block attempts. Ekitike so far has a goal and an assist and is looking really great.

I really question the strategy of pushing so aggressively. Bournemouth were, I think, the second best counterattacking team last season.
Allowing a 4v2 is really shocking.

Surprised to see Endo going forward as much as he has. At the time, up two goals and caught out. Not saying it's his fault, as the turnover was elsewhere, but the choice to be advanced is weird.
Good counterattacking goal from Bournemouth, to be fair.

The ball's spin changes when the fingertips hit it. Basic. I can forgive Taylor for being unsure, but VAR? WTF.

Not a great penalty shootout performance, by any estimation. The average PK conversion rate is just above 80%. To miss three? Woof.
Congrats to Palace, who played well and deserved the win. They defended extremely well all game and outworked #LFC overall. Their strengths match LFC’s weaknesses.
LFC still look like a team trying to find chemistry. They were often on top of each other in the …

My old #LFC mug was fading badly from the dishwasher. So, I bought a new one a couple of days ago from the official store. $20.80 including shipping.
I guess I don't order internationally often enough to have been hit by the #tariffs before. I got an email from UPS tonight, shaking me down for 2.5x…

An order summary showing the mug price of $10.80 and a Shipping and Handling charge of $10.00, for a Grand Total of $20.80.

Oh, and it doesn't matter for lots of reasons, but Doak 💯 was fouled in the box and it should have been a penalty.
Darren England was already in midseason form for cowardice. 7/6

And I'm salivating over Kerkez and his abilities. He looks so fantastic. The real trick will be building chemistry with Diaz/Gakpo. Tsimikas struggles in the same way, as their directness makes it challenging to play combinations.
Will #LFC keep both Tsimikas and Robbo in addition to Kerkez? I doubt it. Is Tsimikas the odd man out?

While I can see the designs for immediate depth and future transition planning for a post VVD world (😱), what I can’t figure out about the pursuit of Guehi and/or Leoni is what that means for Konaté’s contract negotiations and future.
I’ve read that an upgraded offer was put before him in late July. #LFC absolutely cannot allow him to leave on a free next summer & Real Madrid have already exp…

Haven seen the match yet, but I’ve seen some highlights. The Nunez dummy on Gakpo’s goal… absolutely delicious. 😋 He’s never been a selfish player.
I hope to watch in full later tonight. I’m encouraged by what I’ve heard about the tributes and the actions from the supporters of both sides. Very touching and compassionate in a time where we absolutely need it. ❤️

An equalizer following a no call of which the equivalent had been given against Liverpool all game. Chris Kavanaugh is garbage. Just an awful referee.

Would like to see more involvement from Salah. As Palace are forced to extend in pursuit of an equalizer, we should see more chances for a rapid counter. So far the right side has been too quiet.

Now Anthony Taylor sends off Hernandez with a straight red card for an elbow. I think it’s also correct. He wasn’t exactly warding off the tackle, but I don’t think he meant to land an elbow to the face either. Can’t leave it up to a referee.
It doesn’t matter because 9 man PSG score a second to end it.
And then Dembele does the Jota PlayStation celebration and I’m in tears. #LFC

Finally have seen the Yokohama v #LFC match.
Two heartwarming moments:
1. the crowd's respectful and classy standing applause for Jota at 20'
2. VVD giving the armband to Endo and his reception by the home crowd
The pitch really was poor, and the ball skipped a lot, which caused a lot of moments to look worse than they were, particularly a few efforts near goal.
I w…
