The Back of God scores.
#lfc
The Back of God scores.
#lfc
Let them take that away from him.
#lfc
Cheeky attempt from Mo there.
#LFC
So we need contact sensors on players.
#lfc
We should train with fans to simulate swirling winds.
#lfc
how in the world is that a foul on Frimpong?
#LFC
NOW TV is currently pixelated so I've no idea what's happening.
#lfc
I think the main instruction at halftime was to spread out a bit.
#lfc
Lol, Frimpong with a ping pong shot that scores.
#LFC
This is a case of a breath of wind upsetting the timing of highly strung athletes.
#lfc
No one on either side can control the ball. Someone should check the pressures, or the axial tilt of Nottingham or something.
#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
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.
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
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
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
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…
#lfc
Guehi shows why we wanted him.
I guess that was likely.
#lfc
Fuck me, that's a goal.
#lfc
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
Off to take a walk in this springlike weather with my valentine. ❤️ Will watch later tonight.
Enjoy the match, reds!
#LFC
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
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
Wirtz returns the favor to Ekitike. Class from both.
#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
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
Lovely touch from Ekitike to free Florian. Should have a brace, but we'll take it.
#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…
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
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
Szoboszlai said jokingly after Arsenal that he needed more shooting practice. There you have it.
Didn't even celebrate.
#LFC
Great tackle from Konate.
#LFC
The fates absolutely haunt us at RB. 💔
#LFC
Call FOR Salah being grabbed and pulled. 👀 🎉
#LFC
Clear handball. Doesn't matter if "he's turning away"
#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
Smart play from Jones. Possession in stoppage time > outnumbered attack.
#LFC
Wirtz hits the woodwork. He's been phenomenal in finding gaps in the Sunderland defense.
#LFC
Missed the first 15 min of the second half to pickup a child. Came back to see the OG 🎉 and Endo going down 😢
#LFC
Adding 2 minutes to the 5 that Endo was down for a total of 7 minutes of stoppage time seems very charitable to the visiting side.
#LFC
Ekitike missing a grounded header back to the near post in an echo of the City header miss. Work to do on finishing those opportunities.
#LFC
It must be said that Gakpo has been showing more of his left foot in recent weeks. It's clearly not super comfortable for him, but he is visibly trying to expand his profile.
#LFC
The officiating has been... good? I'm not sure what to make of this.
Decent first half. Sunderland have been a bit lucky on a couple of occasions, both from Wirtz (post and header).
#LFC look better against low blocks, but it's clear that Endo is not best used as an upfield back. He's been excellent otherwise.
Konate has also been in a very physical battle all game. Kavana…
Great defending by Konate, the commentators tells us. Not entirely wrong, but he did allow the run across him. The block was critical and well done, but relying on good fortune is not a good strategy.
#LFC
Salah is tracking back to help, but I think a sub would be a better choice than to leave him on and keep a midfielder occupied with an area he isn't spectacular at. Chiesa sitting on the bench and would work his tail off to defend.
#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 …
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
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…
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
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.
Simon Hooper is being gamed here. Complete lack of confidence he will be able to keep the spice out of this game.
Newcastle are effective when they are allowed to play physical football. LFC are decidedly not, being a bit soft overall.
#LFC
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
