To have 61% possession and be ahead in tackles and duels? This is the energy and commitment that has been missing.
To have only 3 shots on target out of 13 though? Need to find the net.
#LFC

#lfc
Fucking hell how did he miss the target.
Kelleher proves again what a dumb loss that was.

FFS. Deflection is into the worst possible place. A Brentford player is in an offside position, also not affecting the goal. But unlike LFC versus City, it doesn’t matter.
#LFC

#lfc
Frimpong is not Salah, but then he's not meant to be. He's fast, frightens defenders but messy in the outcome.
Konate goes out quietly at the end of his. contract, at least he has the World Cup.
Wirtz seems lost.

#lfc
And Konate gets a slap in the face and Brentford get a free kick.

But that’s a foul. Absolute nonsense. #LFC

Kelleher makes a great save. 😮‍💨
#LFC

All the accuracy of imperial stormtroopers.
#LFC

Absolutely huge save from Alisson! Marmadashvilli doesn’t make that save.
#LFC

Darren England overlooks such a clear foul because Brentford have been lobbying him. Absolute rube.
#LFC

So unlucky. Was a brilliant shot from Salah and he’s looking really hungry. I hope he gets something.
#LFC

Salah has an assist if he lays that ball off to Jones, but you can forgive him for trying to score himself today.
#LFC

It’s a great outside the boot pass from Mo.
Neither Jones nor Salah seemed to celebrate in the moment. The doubt of the VAR decision? Odd.
#LFC

Not a foul on Jones and absolutely inconsistent to how the game has been officiated to this point. Darren England is constantly in the way. Ridiculous.
#LFC

Darren England is just terrible. That’s a penalty. You don’t have to make a challenge to come across and cut off a run.
VAR covers, naturally. Business as usual.
#LFC

And now we transition more. Of the major senior players, gone are Salah, Robbo.
Probably gone are Chiesa, Endo, and Gomez.
Maybe gone: Konate and possibly Jones? Mac Allister?
Upon consideration, I don’t know that this season represents the full transition. I think we’re still inside the chrysalis.
#LFC

#lfc
Losing the goalkeeper is somewhat worse than losing a goal.

#lfc
Another Derby that the none-existent God puts their finger on the scale.

#lfc
Originally, i thought it part of an offside movement.
And so it was

#lfc yes this is a Derby.

Never a penalty, but it sure is sloppy.
#LFC

#lfc
While everyone is taking a breather before half time it's time for a goal.

Won’t be sorry to see Minteh subbed out. He was brilliant.
#LFC

#lfc
Is Isak actually on the field?

Far more likely to end 3-1 than 2-2. One team is dead on their feet.
#LFC

#lfc
There you go. That is more like it.
Time for a 5-0 game...

The fatigue part is troubling. Slot presented the muscle overuse refutation to Klopp. Injuries were much reduced, and most this season have not been overuse.
But the counterpoint is that a more rested team should show more in late games and consistently #LFC flag. Conceding late goals & dropping so many points from them is damning. They didn’t today, but were outplayed in the second half by a…

Kerkez lurking behind enemy lines to poach the backpass and loops in a beautiful goal to equalize.
#LFC

Brighton had three(!) free players attacking that cross. Central defenders both looking around confusedly. Got to get that sorted out ASAP.
#LFC

Minteh playing like he doesn’t believe a second yellow is possible. Aside from a dive, nothing has been egregious, but he’s accumulated enough to ask questions.
#LFC

I don’t like booing an injured player when they’ve clearly been injured. What is the claim, that Ekitike is faking an injury and time-wasting after only 7 minutes?
#LFC

Spurs have been drugged.
#lfc

As I was saying about crosses. Inept.
That’s on Van Dijk and it’s also basic stuff. Central defense must be a summer priority.
Also, Minteh is a hell of a player.
#LFC

Time to change the front.
#lfc

First look at goal, so of course Brighton scores. Konate turned it over, but plenty of time to organize. Then Konate is pushed, but it’s not a foul. He has to be stronger in battling. He’s been so inconsistent this season. So talented, but makes basic mistakes that he didn’t in prior seasons.
#LFC

Richarlison is always to be feared.
#lfc

Overall, a strong performance, but fatigued as the wide open half and the short turnaround between matches will mean some tired legs. Thanks, EPL, for the courtesy of a Saturday early match. 😤
The Kerkez goal looks more brilliant on each review.
Could do with fewer injuries.
Milner has still got it.
I like the more animated Slot, working the fourth official.
#LFC

Allison with the best pass so far.
#lfc

There you have it. Completely outplayed for a half, but the lack of discipline in both recognizing a vulnerable space and, worse, closing it down undoes #LFC. Looked like Gakpo, but I can't be sure. Lazy and lacking accountability.
#LFC

Not quite end to end, but area to area.
#lfc

And so a goal. Spurs seemed to invite that.
#lfc

I see we have the usual problem with teams that pack the area, we want to pass it into the goal.
#lfc

It's still very much a team in transition. We see glimpses of what could be and then a loose pass undoes everything. Or yet another big injury.
Regardless of what you think of the manager, the thinness of the squad is a problem. (Another reason why Curtis Jones must be retained! His utility and homegrown status make him so very important.) #LFC struggles for consistency because they've go…

Gravenberch! Keeper is honestly playing great, but #LFC are playing lights out right now.

LFC have looked good this half. Some creativity and movement. Rough day to have no strikers at all. Gakpo is toiling, but he's not the right fit up there.
#LFC

PK (and of course it's Szoboszlai making it happen)
#LFC

Great save, really. Salah had picked out the five hole.
#LFC

Szoboszlai! Who else? Not a free kick, but we will take it!
#LFC

That hesitation move by Ekitike was absolutely filthy. 👀
#LFC

AND THERE IS THE SQUARE PASS I'VE BEEN RANTING ABOUT
Salah finds Ekitike for a nice finish.
#LFC

Don't understand how Frimpong was guilty of anything other than being grabbed and pulled sideways.
#LFC

Absolutely ridiculous decision to strike that goal off. I don't care what the score is, that is indefensible.
#LFC

Not only is this referee quite gullible, but he continues to be in the way of both teams in obvious game flow situations.
#LFC

If Osimhen had been contacted similarly, he would have been declared legally dead (and then run back on to the pitch 30 seconds later)
#LFC

A square pass to Ekitike scores, but Salah [understandably] tries to chip. Good save, but it should be 2-0 and then Galatasaray could waste time to their hearts' content.
#LFC

Mo has carried this team for so very long. It hurts to see that he's now bereft of that speed, vision, luck, and confidence [no passing, as again a squared or far post ball across to Ekitike scores...]
#LFC

#lfc
Rio and every other fucker other than one are totally confused by that.

Popular (and not incorrect) picks for MOTM will be Szoboszlai, Salah, Ekitike, and Wirtz.
For me, it's Mac Allister, who quietly dominated the central midfield. He was robbed of a deserved goal, created 4 chances, had 3/4 successful long passes, and 4 recoveries. It's a welcome contribution in what has been a difficult season.
#LFC

#lfc
This has Macalister either with Man of the Match or a red card.

#lfc
Offside

VVD will be coming off.
#lfc

Field is slippery. Several #LFC players losing footing.

Curtis Jones for the win.
#lfc

This will be Slot's fault too.
#LFC

Ten more years of Ngumoha...
#lfc

Brace for the captain. Did he call off Ibou?
#LFC

How both Digne and Buendia aren't on a yellow is baffling to me.
#LFC

So Salah is not a hasbeen and neither of Robinson.
#lfc

Chiesa, maybe, for Gakpo in the second half? He couldn't be much worse. The cupboard is bare.
#LFC

Would we rather have 3 points or an FA Cup Quarter Final.
#lfc

Marmadashvilli is terrible. Just terrible.
Villa's scouting was excellent... not pace, but placement.
#LFC

They're may not be a God but there is justice sometimes.
#lfc

Ngumoha, 17, already understands an underlap/overlap better than Gakpo. Finds Kerkez on a blistering run for a decent cross.
#LFC

Great ball in from Szoboszlai and there is the possibility for VAR to disallow a goal and you know they love to do that. It's a goal.
#LFC

Even PGMOL couldn't round this one down, but god how they tried. That was a looong look for a snapshot decision in which we have SAOT to help with exactly that.
#LFC

No foul at all, on the heels of a no call for being overrun from behind. The officiating had been good, largely, but that is not a good series of moments for Kavanagh.
#LFC

If Alisson does leave, Marmadashvilli has shown us he is clearly not the solution. That's a fine save, but his positioning, footwork, reluctance to be a sweeper. All of it has made my mind up.
#LFC

We will miss Curtis Jones. His leaving is a a place in which I'm very critical of the management. I will never understand why Mac Allister gets more regular play than Jones. I can only hope that Mac Allister gets right in the offseason, but for me, the wrong guy is going out the door.
#LFC

Van Dijk's declining speed means the backline discipline is not consistent. The shape is skewed because he sags to prevent being exposed by speedier players and it instead allows space in behind on the flanks.
Chiesa thought he had played it correctly and was stunned to find Digne onside.
#LFC

Ugh. Looks like achilles to me. This season is a layer of hell.
#LFC

Dear god. It's never in open play, but in the jagged moments in between. A slip and fall, a series of ludicrous rebounds, a corner developing into a second effort in which the players fail to close down.
Villa are good, but this is absolute charity for their offense. And every single case is just a failure to execute very basic things.
#LFC

I also think they missed badly on Marmadashvilli. I had kept an open mind for a while, but his unwillingness to come out and collect long balls and his panic booting the ball downfield have been concerns. Villa had great shot placement today, but many of those felt like other keepers (not just Alisson) would have reached them.
He was dreadful today.
#LFC

Shot on target within 7' and better energy everywhere. First goal will be EVERYTHING.
#LFC

Why not blow the offside whistle there? Marmadashvilli shouldn't panic clear the ball, but the advantage played is clearly not an advantage.
#LFC

Good idea form Gravenberch and Isak, but the timing is just off. Promising look when the press is broken by the quick lay off and a driving run.
#LFC

I have to time-shift the second half. Hoping energy levels stay like this. It was a strong first half.
Shout out to Konate, who was excellent.
✊ #LFC

Marmadashvilli did very well with two awkward situations. One criticism I've had with him so far is that he has shown reluctance to be full sweeper/keeper. This shows he can do it (or is working on it)
#LFC

Interesting to watch when Frimpong needs cover in behind and Konate rotates over, Ibou stays on to cover Kvaratskhelia after the ball is cycled back rather than releasing and recovering.
I wonder if they are concerned about the delayed run after the initial threat looks to have been resolved.
#LFC

Watched #LFC time-shifted. While Rio deservedly gets a lot of praise (and what a beauty of a goal!), it was Szoboszlai who grabbed the game by the collar and set the tempo. Imperious all over the pitch, mostly defensive efforts via a very intense work rate.
The midweek critique from Graeme Souness about the squad getting outworked was correct and today was a refutation. It can be done.
The …

What a crap goal. My god.
#LFC

ZERO consistency in officiating.
#LFC

This call and yellow card is terrible.
#LFC

It’s clear why Wharton is such a desirable signing this offseason. He creates chances and is so calm in possession. 3 of the 5 big chances for Palace were his. His stat line for this game is stellar.
You see rumors of #LFC being in for him. United too. I hope LFC do go for him. Fantastic player and LFC need a proper DM.

Mo has had a frustrating season, but with 0 shots in 35'... might be worth a first half sub.
#LFC

Konate with the Joel Matip probing run forward, which makes me happy. Sadly, Ekitike cannot/does not do anything with it.
#LFC

I thought Kerkez played well, overall. Contrast today against the beginning of the season and appreciate how much he's improved.
#LFC

There is really no argument here. It's a penalty. And, honestly, Konate has to try for something. At least Marmadashvilli has an honest chance at a save.
#LFC

It's a shocking turnover from Mac Allister but what on earth is Van Dijk doing on the coverage after? Abandons the wide open spot which becomes the shot to cover.... empty space?
#LFC

Ugh. Good individual effort, at least, and a very well weighted pass into the half space. Some pretty suspect defending, despite having 5 to cope.
Time for the wilting (or maybe that goal was the start of it)
#LFC

Wow. I'm shocked. I thought Konate did get ball, but after contact with the plant leg first caused Zaire-Emery to naturally fall. That decision would NEVER happen in the EPL.
Complaints about the uneven refereeing now withdrawn.
