#lfc
Guehi shows why we wanted him.

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 …

I guess that was likely.
#lfc

What a crap goal. My god.
#LFC

Fuck me, that's a goal.
#lfc

ZERO consistency in officiating.
#LFC

This call and yellow card is terrible.
#LFC

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

VVD will be coming off.
#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

Curtis Jones for the win.
#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

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…

Ten more years of Ngumoha...
#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

Would we rather have 3 points or an FA Cup Quarter Final.
#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Complaints about the uneven refereeing now withdrawn.
#LFC

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

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

Given the recent form of both teams, I didn't have high expectations for this match. And I don't think trying to keep players behind the ball is the wrong strategy. PSG had a few moments, but largely they're ahead by a ludicrously fortunate deflection.
I do wish we'd see more take-ons from the front footed attackers and quicker decisions not to let a disciplined PSG recover their shape.
#LFC

And there is the other scoring, but he's off?
#LFC

Two players in this lineup will likely be elsewhere next season. The goal came from the one you didn't expect.
🫡 Robbo
#LFC

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

Mac Allister with a header that crossed the line before the keeper could parry it back out.
Good flick on from Ekitike, but a bit of box slop. About time that happend FOR #LFC
Is that two set piece goals in two games?
#LFC

The Back of God scores.
#lfc

Ibou! Feel for him and happy/sad all at the same time. Must be so hard.
#LFC

Let them take that away from him.
#lfc

Burn should be off for that.🟨🟨
Simon H👀per doesn’t see it that way.
#LFC

Nobody knows the handball rule anymore, least of all Simon Hooper. Two in a row ignored.
#LFC

So we need contact sensors on players.
#lfc

Wirtz!!!!! Unselfish from Salah, who hasn’t been great today, overall, but understood that Burn coming to double him meant he was abandoning Wirtz in space. 🧠
#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

Ekitike or Sexytike? My god. What a run and finish!
#LFC

Bananas decision by Simon Hooper. My good, he’s so atrociously incompetent.
#LFC

I think the main instruction at halftime was to spread out a bit.
#lfc

Risky from Gordon, even if the officials allow it because of impact location.
#LFC

This is a case of a breath of wind upsetting the timing of highly strung athletes.
#lfc

Wirtz to Ekitike!!! Something we’re likely to be cheering for years!
1-1 in an 11v12 game so far.
#LFC

Four consecutive terrible decisions by Simon Hooper. Four!
The home crowd is giving him righteous condemnation.
#LFC

No one on either side can control the ball. Someone should check the pressures, or the axial tilt of Nottingham or something.
#lfc

Very fortunate with the woodwork to once. Definitely could use some possession, if nothing else tha to relieve pressure.
#LFC

Watching emotionally and not analytically, but it seemed like a tactical shift to their shape out of possession around 25’ in put #LFC into a better shape to clog passing lanes and disrupt Newcastle. Particularly in the midfield. It could also be that Simon Hooper stopped calling ridiculous “fouls” and let the game play. 🤷‍♂️
Ekitike has obviously been brilliant. Their player ratings aren’t spec…

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

Lucky to have that contested ball come to him, Gordon. Kerkez not close enough and Alisson could have been better.
Probably deserved on overall play, but damn.
#LFC

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

Van Dijk shoots like a defender or it'd have been 6.
#LFC

I don't know that I've ever seen player ratings for an entire side be so low.
#LFC

Feels a bit like a feeding frenzy as Mac Allister gets a tap in for the brace.
#LFC

Fede! Confident finish on a Van Dijk 2v1. If it stands, that's three assists for VVD.
#LFC

Such a gorgeous ball in from Mo and perfectly timed run from Mac Allister, but he scuffs what would have been the hat trick.
#LFC

🇪🇬 👑
#LFC

Another Gakpo left footed shot, did you say?
#LFC

The inverse of the Salah to Szoboszlai free kick from the last game.
#LFC

Good confidence builder, certainly, but it shows how much stronger the EPL is relative to the Champions League. At this moment, 5 of the top 8 UCL spots are EPL teams.
Don't have a clear MOTM today. So many players were excellent. I'll give it to Endo for doing so much dirty work and filling in seamlessly.
#LFC

The Qarabag defense is shockingly disorganized, but they've managed to get a block on a couple of the open shots. Gakpo unlucky on a couple.
#LFC

The second touch from Ekitke... :chefkiss:
And you know he's 💯 scoring when facing a closing keeper freely.
Good find by Virgil to thump it out to him.
#LFC

Think that's two left footed shots from Gakpo tonight, which the second wasn't half bad. He clearly is trying to diversify the known commodity of always cutting in, reverse Arjen Robben style.
#LFC

Wirtz! 5 goals in 9 games say the commentators. Great combo with Ekitike through traffic. Kept the defender in his pocket with a choice to foul him or release, neither a good option.
Clinical finish.
#LFC

Frimpong down with a groin injury? Class from Qarabak to play it out, when they didn't have to.
Ridiculously bad luck on the defensive injury front.
Endo coming on in replacement and now the LB and LCB are not proper defensive backs.
#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…

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

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

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…

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

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

Big save from Alisson after three defenders nearly bungled it.
#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

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

Cheeky attempt from Mo there.
#LFC

Never a penalty, but it sure is sloppy.
#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

Never safer than a Gomez free look on goal. One day... 🙏
#LFC

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

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

Gorgeous counterattack! Salah to Szoboszlai to Ekitike. Offside though.
#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.

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

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

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

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

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…
