8 minutes seems excessive #LFC

Brighton really should be level. #LFC

Chiesa absolutely spoon feeding Salah late.
#LFC

I'd like some kind of investigation if any bets for a red card for West Ham were laid.
#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

Still holding my peace.
#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

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

In 1953 we fell out of the 1st Division for 8 seasons until Shankly created the structure to get out of the 2nd division and be the kind of club we know now.
#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…

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…

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

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?

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

No luck, but bad luck.
#LFC

Doku really has been spectacular. MOTM easily. #LFC

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

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

Van Dijk!!!!
#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

The “giant Georgian”!
#LFC

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

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

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…

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.

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.
#LFC

First foul on Real Madrid and of course they are complaining even though it's clear as day. (#LFC have 5, don't you know...)

If the referee could perhaps block our players a little bit less often, that would be great. Twice in under a minute.
#LFC

Wirtz is really strong on the press. Just gets after it and would be so annoying to play against. Very solid performance.
#LFC

Goalie obstruction to slow or kill a counterattack is always a yellow. Except when it’s Chelsea and Anthony Taylor.
#LFC

This is the fourth time the commentators have watched the replay and said there is absolutely no foul at all. All four against #LFC

Great ball in and even Courtois can do nothing. As I've said before, "Never go in against an Argentinian midfielder in a crowd"
#LFC

Look, I don't think it's a handball. But if it is, in the same way that Van Dijk was penalized for the edge of the box... this is exactly that.
#LFC

Chiesa is a deserved cult hero.
#LFC

So much quality, so little chemistry.
#LFC

Wirtz!!!!! So patient and against the grain. Beautiful.
#LFC

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

Hurts. Robbo doesn’t have the quickness of an 18 year old and a blind prayer of a pass did us in.
The narrative will be that Chelsea were deserving winners, but while they had lots of possession in the final third, #LFC were more dangerous.
Slot needs to be brave with Salah. I love him & he’s earned some grace, but he’s been poor again and the hope he’ll find a moment isn’t worth it.

IFAB: "The referee will not stop play just because a player has lost a shoe"
#LFC

Kerkez and Gakpo really don’t have much chemistry. Hope that improves soon.
#LFC

When Wirtz's luck changs in front of goal, watch out. So many keepers have been very fortunate to get a piece of the ball.
#LFC

Slot yelling "No, no, nooooooooo!" in fury at Stuart Attwell for that bananas decision... might have been louder than me also yelling at Stuart Attwell.
#LFC

Should be a yellow for simulation. Maresca looks like a clown for arguing it and gets a card. And, predictably, Taylor has lost control of the game.
#LFC

He absolutely missed Cucurella tugging Bradley’s shirt to gain the space, but did see Bradley’s grab to recover. No justice. He’s an awful referee, Anthony Taylor.
#LFC

It's always the defense. It's always terrible luck on deflections. It's always from a team getting completely inverted on xG, playing five in the back and having no opportunities.
Just :shitty:
#LFC

Cannon of a shot, but given so much welcome to keep coming. Van Dijk thought to honor the other attacker, but the rest of the defending was terrible. Mac Allister just jogging in behind. Konate late to close down.
#LFC

If #LFC can get their defense sorted, I think the rest will snap into place better. Kerkez has looked uneven, but I thought defensively he was pretty good tonight.
I'd rather see Bradley start with Robbo and Kerkez rotating. Frimpong available as a sub, pace for the late push against tiring opposition.
And until Konate gets right, there is no stability. It exposes everyone else. Van Dij…

Will be time-shifting #LFC today. Watching football on your anniversary is... frowned upon.

Non-penalty xG is 1.06 for #LFC to 0.36. Unlucky to be trailing, largely because of a soft penalty.
At some point, the breakthrough will come. Expect Salah off the bench to replace a so/so Frimpong.

Very gullible referee.
#LFC

This is also a terrible call, even if it's for #LFC
He's horrid.

Good god, that's a call grossly rounded up.
#LFC

Dear god, this referee. No consistency at all.
#LFC

Just as bad as Bradley's yellow but this one isn't because........
#LFC

One of these days, Ibou will accidentally put a free header on target. 🙃
#LFC

This is wrong, Jones doesn't have to leave the pitch because it was a carded offense.
#LFC

Could have given two yellows on the same play, as the undercut on an aerial Konate is ugly.
#LFC

Big save by Alisson! Wow, that was a great through ball and Szoboszlai beaten on a full tilt sprint is a warning sign.
#LFC

I will point out that this match commentary sums up some of my frustration with officiating, different competitions be damned.
#LFC conceded beyond the declared stoppage time to lose at Selhurst Park. A substitution in stoppage time allowed the referee's discretion to continue a full minute beyond. 👍
Gamed by "acute" cramping, conveniently timed when the ball is out of bounds …

What has Wirtz done to earn a foul there? How do you assess such a ridiculous performance? Each call is more ludicrous than the one before, as if he's flexing his incompetency.
#LFC

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

Can we get a yellow card for simulation? What in the world was that?
#LFC

Have to time-shift the match until much later tonight. Might be a blessing.
I hope for our luck to turn, our players to return to form, and that we find firm footing to use as the foundation for the rest of the season.
#LFC

Clear red on Nallo for DOGSO. Pawson gets it exactly right. Second time, isn't it, that he's been sent off playing with the first team?
#LFC

I don't know how Hughes escapes a yellow card for that challenge from behind. Ugly stuff in a game that's already over. You don't need it.
#LFC

Poor Kerkez. Ngumoha won't feed his overlap either.
(He's looked good so far... not having Van Dijk there to yell at him must relieve some pressure.)
#LFC

What a fluky bounce. Gomez doesn't get the contact he wants when dispossessing the run and it lands right to Sarr.
Palace had begun to exert some control on the game, but it's been fairly even really.
#LFC

Federicoooooooooooo! #LFC

Good ball in from Kerkez and Endo is showing the quick, progressive passes that he is capable of doing after winning back possession. Underrated part of his game.
Teams is definitely more aggressive, which has been missing.
#LFC

Man of the year, Szoboszlai.
#LFC

Henderson always shows up against #LFC Fantastic and fortunate save.
