Álvaro Arbeloa on his approach vs City. "We did our analysis. We tried to close off a lot of the passing angles and spaces, and not to jump into pressing randomly, because that's what they're looking for. For you to step out to confront the ball carrier and they find the space behind your back."

Haaland is such an odd pro. Incredible goal scorer. Virtually null and void in general play.

PSG if we get past Gala.

PSG showcasing their CL pedigree. Vital 2 goal lead to take to London.

Real Madrid 3 City 0. Valverde hat trick.

Hakimi and Mendes would lock down our wide players, Kev. Total ownership.

We were in better condition going into the 1st leg last season and we got battered. Alisson saved us from a hiding.

Arsenal are getting away with murder. Lucky draws, dives...

I think he keeps his job if he nails CL football. They'll take everything into account. Dealing with poor Diogo's passing ( which effected pre season training), injuries, squad churn, and decline in Salah's output. Whether that's the right course of action is open to debate.

β€œI’m expecting this to go on and that the club get to the summer in whatever shape… I don’t think taking out the head coach is on Liverpool’s agenda at all…”

β€œIf they were looking at a recruitment process for coaches, he's said to be the exact profile that they would be looking at and that there's not people on the market that they think better suit what they're looking for. That they're happy with him.”

"Liverpool, from what we hear, are steadfastly behind Arne Slot and he’s under contract until 2027 and they want him to be their coach. The hierarchy are determined that he is the man to get things right."

It's not. A mess. A structural mess. I have no idea what they're doing on the training pitch or analysis room. No one taking responsibility.

Liverpool's build up last night.

Not a fan of Wirtz out wide. He excelled under Alonso in a 3421 set up. Had great freedom to get the best out of his talent. He's got to be our 10, but we need a better double pivot. Physicality, presence, and quality passing.

This team is schizophrenic. Back to front

This is where the Isak injury has killed us. Hugo has huge potential, but you can see he's still green around the ears + playing every game.

The MacAllister regression is a tough watch.

I'm of that opinion. Especially if PSG beat Chelsea.

Frimpong has to start most games now. That pace is needed.

True. Press the opposition into oblivion. Every game is a turgid struggle. Hard to see us progressing much further in both cups. We may do these in the 2nd leg, but such is the consistent shite being served up, it's hard to be positive about our chances

When Liverpool embraced basketball games under Klopp we had the forward arsenal to kill teams. This is tragic to watch.

Liverpool's box defending is shoddy.

Arsenal given a free ticket to Wembley. Portsmouth, Wigan, Mansfield, and Southampton. What a draw.

Bayer/Bodo/Sporting to get into a CL semi final.

When your luck is in.

Stronger squad now with players coming back. Plymouth team was mish mash of youth and squad chaff. Slot will take an fa cup quarter final seriously.

Chasm in class, Kev. There's no argument for Saints over the PL's Top 2.

I'd rather them than Arsenal or City.
