The wind appears to be the main winner.
As with that goal.
#lfc

This is the way for #LFC this season. Box slop, defensive shambles, set piece vulnerability, godawful luck, PKs not given. It’s been a perfect storm of misery.
The failure of their shooting… 14 shots but only 4 on target is a failure. 0.83 xG in a game that was wide open for the latter bit of the final half? Poor.
With Gomez now injured (again) and Konate struggling (and now sadly coping wi…

In the second half we'll be playing with the wind. So look out for shots going well over the bar.
#lfc

I had to walk away in disgust. #LFC defending is so awful. Whether you think it’s more on Kerkez’s lack of awareness on the run or Van Dijk blundering the run on side, it’s far too easy.
For me, Van Dijk has not is showing that he’s not nearly as quick nor as strong as he’d been historically. The casual play he could get away with in the past, he is now unable to and it’s costing the side dearly…

Szoboszlai!!!! Free kick genius.
#LFC

Replay shows no foul at all, of course.
#LFC

Hell of a header/shoulder. Van Dijk needed that and so did #LFC

All but one of the corner balls have been so tight to the keeper and too easily claimed.
#LFC

Promoted set piece coach has plenty of work to do. Two very poor corners, both lacking for quality in service.
#LFC

The Back of God scores.
#lfc

Watching Gravenberch be too gassed to stay with Christie and setting up a 3v2 was terrifying. Fortunate to escape.
#LFC

Ekitike was the one getting kicked and otherwise there is no foul. But it’s called anyway, as is on brand this season.
#LFC

Even Lee Dixon(!) has been critical of the officiating, this time as they somehow miss a clear save and give a goal kick. Buffoonery.
#LFC

Let them take that away from him.
#lfc

I don’t know why Alisson didn’t come and claim that ball in, but more so what the heck Van Dijk is doing? Gomez is late because he too is expecting better.
So inept, defensively. Not tactics, but individual failures.
#LFC

That’s a foul outside the box and he’s standing right there and ignores it because Ekitike doesn’t ever dive. If PGMOL really cared to cut down on dives, they could actually do so in instances like this.
FFS they gave a foul seconds ago against #LFC when there was zero contact. In the same damned position on the field.
And then Rio doesn’t go down and another fouls is swallowed. This woul…

So we need contact sensors on players.
#lfc

We should train with fans to simulate swirling winds.
#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

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

Cheeky attempt from Mo there.
#LFC

how in the world is that a foul on Frimpong?
#LFC

Lol, Frimpong with a ping pong shot that scores.
#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

#lfc
Guehi shows why we wanted him.

John Brooks always looks like he’s in over his head. His decisions don’t dispel that notion either.
#LFC

I guess that was likely.
#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…

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

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

Off to take a walk in this springlike weather with my valentine. ❤️ Will watch later tonight.
Enjoy the match, reds!
#LFC

Chiesa absolutely spoon feeding Salah late.
#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

8 minutes seems excessive #LFC

Brighton really should be level. #LFC

Wirtz returns the favor to Ekitike. Class from both.
#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

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

Lovely touch from Ekitike to free Florian. Should have a brace, but we'll take it.
#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

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

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…

Szoboszlai said jokingly after Arsenal that he needed more shooting practice. There you have it.
Didn't even celebrate.
#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 tackle from Konate.
#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

The fates absolutely haunt us at RB. 💔
#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

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

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

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

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

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
