@TheAnfieldWrap If the rumours are true about Enrique extending at PSG then yes, think Enrique will be a good appointment. Be interesting to see how he adapts his methods to playing in 4 comps.

@empireofthekop Would be great to see Milner brought in on the coaching staff, he’s proven to drive high standards.

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@empireofthekop Left back, right back, world class No6, Left and Right wingers with lots of pace.

@johngibbonsblog And focus goes from PL to World Cup, so hopefully won’t hear much about Arsenal winning the league! 🤣😂

@PolitlcsUK @kejamieson_ I thought profit margin remains the same but operating cost increases, and it’s the increase in operating cost that the consumer sees?? Is someone within government or BP going to be held to account over these profit increases?

Train ticket from Portsmouth to Exeter return £125 or £85 with military rail card. To use my car is £45 in petrol. Where’s my incentive to use public transport? Your prices are ridiculous, so much for aspiration of net zero carbon emissions! @thetrainline @GOVUK @transportgovuk

@TheAnfieldWrap The manager 😡

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@henrywinter Any idea of the wages? I’m sure that was more important to him than league position or quality of club!!

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@SkySportsPL I’m sure it was for money, greed was his only plan! (And his agent).

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@empireofthekop 1 / 10. And if we fail to make top 4 Hughes should be forcible dragged out of LFC. And Edwards should resign. Shambles of a management team!

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@TheAnfieldWrap Won’t believe it until contract is signed, too many near misses over the last few months.

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@SkySportsPL “Iconic”. Really? 😂

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@VirtualAstro Do you think it will continue into tomorrow evening?

⚽️ From Anger to Apathy, This Is How Seasons Die

#LFC 1-1 #Burnley | #PremierLeague Review #LIVBUR

When a train runs late every day, passengers stop checking the board. They already know the outcome. Liverpool matches have begun to feel like that, predictable in their tension, predictable in their disappointment, drained of intrigue both before and after kick-off.

I'm not angry anymore. That passed for me in November, somewhere between Forest and PSV, when it became clear this wasn't a wobble but an actual direction. What remains now is numbness. A dull acceptance that even when the numbers look better, the feeling doesn't. Because football is not played on spreadsheets. It's felt.

Yes, the stats against Burnley were stronger. Yes, the shot count was high. Yes, the xG figure looks healthy on the surface. But look closer, and it tells the same old story. Low value chances, poor shot selection, safety first football explained away as control. Risk-averse to the point of paralysis. A team coached to reach the halfway line, hesitate, turn back, reset, repeat.

This was still self-preservation football. Still, a manager afraid of the next punch because he knows the jaw is glass.

Liverpool were good for a spell. They always are. They score, Anfield stirs, and then the instinct kicks in to protect rather than impose. To manage danger rather than create fear. Around the hour mark, the tension returned, the passes lost purpose, the crowd sensed it, and the opposition believed. Burnley barely had to knock. The door was already ajar.

The goal conceded was not bad luck. It was structure without conviction. Midblock indecision. Players caught between instruction and instinct. That moment has been visible all season, from space, from memory, from experience.

And here is the problem now. Anfield is turning. Not in fury, but in fatigue. Booing at full time. A ground that no longer believes the team will find a way. That matters. Once belief drains out of a stadium, results follow it down the plughole.

The club hierarchy can bury their heads if they want. No signings. No urgency. No signal that this season still matters beyond survival in the top-four race. That tells its own story. This feels written off already, quietly, administratively, while asking supporters to keep turning up and pretending otherwise.

Will Slot go now? No. Not yet. But this is how it starts. Not with chaos, but with futile acceptance. Fans switching off emotionally. Matches becoming chores. Wins feeling empty. Draws feeling inevitable.

This is a club drifting through games, and a season drifting out of reach.

What a mess. Don't think I'll bother taking the train anymore.

@TheAnfieldWrap If Guehi signs for city in this window Hughes should resign at Lfc.

Mason Greenwood is a pariah in the UK and a hero in the south of France. Report from Marseille on whether his desire to play for England again is an impossible dream https://t.co/bDoFG9g46X

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@henrywinter I get it’s an incredibly difficult job, but the range of consistency ranges from just ok to v.poor. PGMOL need a to take an honest and difficult look at themselves.

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@TheAnfieldWrap Yep 👍

[Lee Mountaine @SpaceMountaine]

@OllieHolt22 He is class, but it’s like watching the players as strangers on the pitch at the moment.
