Will this side suddenly start ripping off at a 2.4ppg pace? Probably not! But we also know that, at least in theory, they have the talent to do that. Which you can't say about any other English clubs bar City and Arsenal. So. I mean. Hope, innit?

Liverpool simply don't look title contenders. The only silver lining is that, unlike most sides that don't look title contenders, we do know this group has the talent to be that.

When individuals in an otherwise good and coherent side look bad it's fair to question the individuals. When everyone looks bad and the side appear tactically incoherent the buck stops with the manager. Arne's got a mess (in part at least of his own making) to fix.

Fred Haas @akh003.bsky.social · 2d

That is the hardest of #LFC defeats in this brutal run. The opponent, moment, and manner all sting. So many individuals struggling with form at the same time, questionable decision-making all over the shop. It’s not for lack of trying, but everything seems completely out of synch.

That was pretty bad, then. Can't wait to do it all over again in a few days.

At least we'll always have the Summer 2025 Transfer Window trophy.

David Lynch @davidlynchlfc.co.uk · 2d

Liverpool had the chances to win today but, if they had, it would have papered over the cracks. They don't look like champions because the summer ensured this isn't the same team that won it, and any defence of their title will be over by the time they work out all these issues.

Whatever it is in Arne's mind that makes it worth suffering through this trash football better be pretty special because I think at the moment we'd look better dragging Harry Redknapp out of retirement and having him tell the payers to just fucking run around a bit while he leans out the car window.

I for one can't wait for next week when we nail Mo and Cody to the touchline again, ask our fullbacks to underlap constantly, and nobody knows what anybody else is doing while our press looks like steaming dogshit but individually we create enough xG to say maybe on another day...

Like yeah results were there to start the season but everyone knew it wasn't sustainable based on the performances—but if we could just click into gear with all of those somewhat undeserved points as the foundation? Look out, world!

Turns out the world didn't have to worry about us.

The Liverpool Offside @liverpooloffside.bsky.social · 2d

Decent xG numbers aside, hoping for a late equalizer and maybe escaping with a point at Anfield against this Man United side on the back of the last three losses does not fill me with hope and belief that just we're about to click into gear.

I mean yeah it's finishing more than creating but our passing has been pretty bad as has our defending so...

As good as Ekitike's goals have been Federico Chiesa has been our best attacking player this season and like I don't think that's even arguable?

This is either belated vindication for Harry Redknapp's infamous "just fucking run around a bit" approach to football or alternately maybe we should stop isolating our wide forwards and asking our fullbacks to underlap all the fucking time.

The Liverpool Offside @liverpooloffside.bsky.social · 2d

Maybe not ideal tho that it's mid-October and our Vibes Attack still looks better than our Trying To Do Arne's Tactics Attack.

The Liverpool Offside @liverpooloffside.bsky.social · 2d

So you're telling us we look better in attack when we up the tempo and stop telling Mo and Cody they'll literally die if they don't have one foot on the touchline at all times? And allow them to attack the box? And allow the fullbacks to occasionally provide width? I, for one, am shocked.

Those things still do not include defending coherently, mind. But still, baby steps I guess.

I mean it's nice at least that we now seem to be trying to do things?
