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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

2026-05-24 15:33:49

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.

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.

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 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
I gave up watching during the first half, not because I'm a fair weather follower but because disorganised bagatelle playing, every pass too hard or too soft isn't about the players but the preparation and the plan, or lack of it.
I'm glad that they got better organised but they were playing against a side who's manager understands the team and whom the team trust. …

Utd are very open at the back and get separated from their midfield at times.
But jumping into the goalkeeper shouldn't get rewarded.

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

Slot manages games confusingly, to me, but also to the team. It's a feeling of neither stick nor twist. He doesn't like the quarterback game he thinks it's low % football and seems to prefer the two passes forward, one sideways, backwards, forwards.
It's overly safe.
I accept the Sala summation, Liverpool has always been better with high tempo, heavy metal pre…

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

The #LFC connection of Gravenberch to Virgil. Beautiful ball in and nice reverse header against the grain. Recycled from a set piece, but fair to say that the Dutch also started the half with more energy.

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

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.

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.

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.

@mlawton@mstdn.social
2026-05-15 20:19:32

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.

Great goal! What a driving shot by Ashour to the near post and even Courtois' insane wingspan cannot reach it.
Assisted by Salah, with great vision to find the opening across the grain of the box. #LFC

Not hard to see why Yan Diomande is being courted by so many clubs (including #LFC). Really looks dangerous on the dribble and his directness is creating opportunities.

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

@mlawton@mstdn.social
2026-05-15 20:32:05

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

@mlawton@mstdn.social
2026-05-15 20:35:59

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

@mlawton@mstdn.social
2026-05-15 21:16:33

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.

Gravenberch with some gorgeous dribbling through traffic before laying off a pass to Summerville, who looked contained, but found the far side netting. Two assists for Gravenberch.
Game has gone from a tedious first half to wide open and exciting.
