Sweet karma this. Bigger club turning one of their players heads, resulting in his form plummeting, only for them to say sike.
Delicious.

🚨 Real Madrid considered Ibrahima Konate but inform Liverpool they have no interest in signing 26yo France int’l. Unresolved #LFC contract situation could still go either way. That + loads more on Jan/summer markets in Transfer Radar 2026 🚨

Having a pre-Xmas party beer at the Wetherspoons Liverpool Street station. Just seen a bloke drink half a pint, leave it outside in a rammed smoking area, go inside for ten minutes and come back and drink the rest of it.
What a wildcat.

Seeing a fair bit of discourse that we played well, or at least played well in the first half. Tbh I’ve not got a clue where this comes from.
First ten minutes aside, the entire thing was a mess.
Misplaced passes, missed chances, players not knowing where to play, crap build up play.

Ah man. These lads are really testing my patience this season.

It just feels like the majority of goals we score are fortunate.
So rare to see this side string together a move that cuts through a defence and creates an easy chance.
Why after so many years, and so much investment, can’t we dominate a game and do that?

Not at any point of this game have I known what the plan was.
It became even less clear after half time.

Nobody know what they’re doing out there.
Numerous players out of position. No control at all.

Eddie couldn’t see a disaster waiting to happen if it slapped him in the face.
Dunno what he saw that suggested we keep Murphy on.
