Well, a 1:0 defeat is never a bad result in Istanbul but it wasn’t great was it?

Need a BIG performance at Anfield and need to start making better use of the possession we have. Take some chances please

It’s not coaching when two players are converging on the same ball. It’s communication and common sense frankly

Bloody hell … I’ve seen Under 13s defend better against players running with the ball.

These guys have all gone through the system … why do they forget how it’s done🤷‍♂️

It was offside but, Jesus … what a mistake from Konate??

Lucky, lucky, lucky

I don’t think the pass helped him. If the ball arrives sooner he can just put his foot through it but there was some cover from the defender. I think that’s why he tried to cut across the ball.

Szoboszlai (I think it was him) does that a lot. Needs to release it earlier.

A decent enough performance and result in the overall context of our season.

Good (and impressive) minutes for Rio, Flo back on the pitch and Hugo rested.

Once again, we could have scored 2-3 more goals.

First I’ve seen of Morrison … neat and calm on the ball.

Almost as bad as Gakpo’s “clearance” to deny Curtis on Tuesday 😂

Nyoni’s still a “slim Jim” but he’s definitely starting to fill out a bit. The lad’s got a big future … even more so if he can develop a physical presence to go with his football ability

Away in Istanbul … I’m not so sure about that. He should get some playing time though

Yes … give him meaningful minutes in every game but don’t overstretch him

“I warn you not to be old, not to get sick…” If only Neil Kinnock knew that this would one day be referring to a Labour government (“a *Labour* government”)

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

He’s right though. The Premier League and PGMOL need to do something ahead of next season.

Half a dozen yellow cards at the first corner of every game would be a great start

Moron Risk Premiums Is an evil moron less dangerous than an evil genius?

It really is very very good from @snellarthur.bsky.social

And it gave me a much needed laugh (in a sour way).

Trump the idiot. A dangerous one.

It would have been much better to catch you all on a wave of enthusiasm and energy of course, but who can predict when that’s likely to happen this season? 🤷‍♂️😂

Graham's fundraiser for Liverpool Zoe's Place Help Graham Boden raise money to support Liverpool Zoe's Place

Despite our collective depression after last night, I wondered if anybody would like to help me raise a few quid for Liverpool Zoe’s Place when I run the Liverpool Half Marathon on 15th March?

No pressure folks!

I think that is something I will criticise Slot for … use of the Bench resources. I know the squad is thin but look how well Rob Edwards used his Bench last night when Wolves were tiring.

Sometimes fresh legs and enthusiasm will work, especially if then”quality” has already done their bit

That’s also the reason he stays on the pitch when the substitutions happen … because he can be relied upon when it really matters

Anyway … I’ve had enough for one night. Time for bed 💤😴💤

So frustrating … a player of his quality should make that pass with his eyes closed

Easy to say, not so easy to do but moments like that make a huge difference to the outcome
