If Mo Salah is being forced out of the club by Arne Slot, Slot needs to leave now. Treating a player of his calibre in this way is completely unacceptable - would be one thing if he was winning games but he’s not even doing that. Fck off and leave our King alone
Liverpool are stuck in horrid trends (defective out of possession, conceding early, struggling with setpieces, second-best in duels and just not at it physically in general, inability to effectively build up etc) and they don’t yet look like a collective, but there’s surely too much talent and mental fortitude for there not to be solutions in time…
It’s all feeling like a throwback to the time Jürgen Klopp bemoaned the “self-fulfilling prophecy,” where the team would fear the worst with setpieces, second balls and invite endless discussion about their defending, as they then succumbed to the narrative.
It’s beyond bad right now, but there is an unwarranted level of disrespect - aimed at Mo Salah and Arne Slot in particular - plus a rash writing off of signings already. Honesty about flaws and poor performances is fine (and healthy!), but some patience, perspective and grace wouldn’t go amiss. Transition is a tricky enough construct without also having to navigate an almighty tragedy through it. That’s a reality they’re living through, not an excuse
Can't wait to watch them both grow and settle into the team. Them two along with Salah and Isak will be unbelievable once they all find a rhythm together.
Way too close for comfort for Liverpool last night. Lots of chances missed. Florian Wirtz easily one of the best players on the pitch but could have had two goals on the board. Hugo Ekitike also looked brilliant when he came on, but has to be able to put chances away.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face each other in the Wimbledon final.
The best matchup in tennis.
Carlos leads the head to head 8-4.
He also won their only meeting in a Grand Slam final at Roland Garros this year, where Jannik had 3 championship points.
Jannik hasn’t beaten him in a tour-level match since 2023.
Jannik is playing in his 5th Grand Slam final & his 1st Wimbledon final. He’s reached the final of the last 4 Slams. He has been the most consistent player on tour the last few years, but 3 of his last 4 losses have been to Carlos.
Carlos is playing in his 6th Grand Slam final. It’s his 3rd consecutive Wimbledon final, going for his 3rd consecutive Wimbledon title. He’s also on a 24 match win streak & a 20 match win streak at Wimbledon.
World #1 vs world #2.
Who wins? 🇮🇹🇪🇸
