Match thread v Manchester City

[jimmyliver]

Good job by Mo getting himself that contract extension with a massive payrise, despite his legs and pace being long gone.

I hate it for us, but you've got to give the man his credit and his due.

Can’t believe it’s not getting talked about enough his legs have gone completely and he never gets subbed or dropped , chiesa can’t get a minute

[Crimson Dynasty]

Some of us fans as much to blame as the owners for that. We all begged for it. I was as loud a voice for that as anyone. Cannot recognise him

Maybe there's a bigger plan afoot where a Saudi club comes in for him in the January window or next summer and we get a big fee for him.
Which would look genius after the fact for a mid-30's player whose legs are completely gone.


But other than that, it's not looking at all like a smart move on our part on his currrent form.

As I type this he just lost out on another one-on-one with Donarumma.
Darwin would be proud of that miss.

It's good to keep the spirit of former players alive, I feel.

Cone thr fucking FUCK on Liverpool get yourselves a goal back here NOW

[Steveo]

City are still a better side than the gunners for my money. Gunners maybe more dogged though.

City have been the best squad around for a long long time. Only Jurgen managed to push them to the limits… But imo we weren’t as good a squad as the Arse last season despite the title… Now - despite plenty spent - still less than the Arse - we are miles behind.

🤦*♂️ that mo offside. wtf.

[RedMagic]

Too many of our players have dropped off a cliff at the same time for it to be a coincidence. The one common denominator? Slot.

[Jenson78]

There are many reasons why were in a mess but spending half the budget on two big game charlies and still not bringing in players in key areas has screwed us. This is going to set us back years.

We weakened ourselves in the summer. Massively

That's just Slot's keeping some Klopp traditions alive.

Play Mo for the full 90 despite how awful he's been all game.

At least with Klopp he'd have some moments of magic at the death despite being shit all game.
On this current form, you know there's no such thing happening any time soon.

Even more so given that based on past evidence FSG are going to tighten the purse strings after what we spent in the summer.

If we miss champions league we’ll probably be in fsr trouble anyway.

Get Isak & Chiesa on for fucks sake

Fucking hell Slot’s pissing me off now with his wank subs

He’s fucked our title defence with his 4231 bollocks

Slot won the league with 4231. He's played the same system this year.

Hard to argue - but the players have been sourced despite him I believe

He sold Wirtz on joining LFC with his plans for the young fella, and Isak was the player just about everyone wanted signed for Nunez to leave LFC. Same with Kerkez. And now he's been stuck with these lads....

1st half performance killed us today, for more than the officials, players need to take their share of the blame today.

[Lenouis]

Cmon Liverpool. We’ve got 20 attackers. Why aren’t we scoring 5 goals each game? That was surely the strategy wasn’t it?

[Crimson Dynasty]

Yep.
They'll expect him to make it work with this squad or they'll simply find another manager to try to do so.

It's not FSG's style to go back to a transfer window in consecutive summers to fix mistakes from past windows.

He may get a pass - for having too many new players and not all fit when we got them - and not get the sack this season like many are expecting even if we miss CL places, but next season will be last chance saloon for him.

I don't even think we'll do anything in the January window like many are expecting.
I think Guehi is gone, and he'll not be coming to us either then or in the summer and will more likely head to Chelsea or even possibly City - assuming a Bayern or Real don't come for him first.
We really screwed the pooch on (missing) that one.
