To explain Liverpool’s systemic coaching issue, you must understand the variety of goals they concede: A) poor high press triggers/spacing, B) poor pro-active closing down from the front in a mid-block, C) losing runners in a deep block, D) poor set piece defending, E) poor rest defence vs counter-attacks. In the last 3 matches vs Man Utd, Chelsea & Villa, they have shown issues in all 5 of these defensive scenarios types. This is not one isolated defensive issue that can be easily fixed. Slot’s approach to defensive coaching is simply not adequate and it has little to do with squad composition.

Men for guds skyld, ikke gjør noen endringer. 🙄

Liverpool have now conceded 51 league goals this season - their highest total ever in a 38-game Premier League season.

Don’t say anything just RT.

[Spencer Mossman @fc_mossman]

Rewind your brain 12 months and many Liverpool fans were extremely vocal about how bad a job Michael Edwards was doing to not have Salah and Van Dijk’s contract situation sorted out.

Now they’ve fallen off the age cliff.

Not that Liverpool can/should have done things way differently, it’s just a cautionary example of squad building with a reliance on age.

It can happen quick, it can happen to the best, and the downsides are magnified in the evermore physical English game.

Livets store spørsmål:

1) Hvorfor Salah fortsatt starter og tar straffer

2) Hvordan det ikke kunne være plass til Quansah i stallen

3) Hvorfor Slot fortsatt ikke har fått sparken

4) Hvorfor jeg fortsatt gidder å legge opp dagen etter en kamp jeg burde vite går til helvete

Michael Oliver. No penalty

Also Michael Oliver: Penalty.

VAR like elendig/korrupt som før.

Kult! Hallvar og Sindre.

🚨🔴⚪️ PSV Eindhoven are negotiating with Nordsjælland for Sindre Walle Egeli.

PSV directors were in Denmark yesterday in meetings with the club to try to find an agreement.

🟥 Klopp Remembers Trent’s Glory – The Fans Remember His Fall

Jurgen Klopp, with the candour only time grants a man departed, asked for grace. He reminded us of a boy who bent the world his way in Hoffenheim and bamboozled giants on an Anfield night that belonged to eternity. He asked us not to forget. But it is precisely because we remember that the booing rang out.

We remember Trent the teenager, yes, but we also remember the man who scored against West Ham and turned to scouring the very people who raised him. We remember a farewell 'party' more befitting a popstar than a footballer, curated not with humility but vanity. Klopp says the club is famed for not forgetting, and that is true, but it remembers all of it, not just the poetry.

Klopp’s appeal came from the heart, and perhaps from a place that still sees the lad in the number 66 shirt. But the fans see the man now. They see the training ground apathy whispered by Arne Slot, the orchestrated exit, the absence of dignity in departure. They see a player who has made his choice and expects applause as he walks out the door.

This is not about goals scored or assists delivered. It is about a bond broken in broad daylight. A player can leave, they always have, but how they leave matters; Jurgen himself has a famous quote about exactly this.

The boos are not for past dreams or European nights. They are for the sneer, the gesture, the self-indulgence, the deafening silence when clarity was owed.

Klopp reminded us that Trent gave everything. Perhaps he did, once upon a time. But giving everything is not just about what you did when you wore the shirt. It is also about how you carry its weight when it no longer suits you. And on that count, he is found wanting.

So no, this isn’t a case of fans forgetting. This is a case of a player forgetting them first. Klopp’s sentiment deserves respect, he’s earned it. But even he must know that respect is not unconditional. It is repaid, not assumed. And when it is withdrawn, it is not out of spite, but sorrow.

Because when you love something enough to feel betrayed by it, you don’t forget. You boo.

Gravenberch 💩💩💩

Ikke bare denne kampen, men sånn generelt.

[barry @BackseatsmanLFC]

For those confused, Paul Tierney is on VAR today

[Watch LFC @Watch_LFC]

The way @FA_PGMOL are just allowing Liverpool to build up the biggest case of being robbed of the title in the history of sport, this season…

[Thor K. Løvenfalck @Lovenfalck]

Årets julegaveønske: At Klopps utrettelige tro på den ekstremt overvurderte Gravenberch tar slutt. Han har ikke vært i nærheten av å holde nivået siden han kom til Liverpool.

1. In 2022, Everton got a PGMOL apology after Rodri handball was not given as penalty. Everton lost 1-0, and Liverpool lost the title by 1 point because this handball decision was not given.

2. Last season, Arsenal got 2 PGMOL apologies which cost them 5 points. City won the League by 5 points

3. Man City have never received a PGMOL apology. Somehow the horrible quality of refereeing in this league never affects them, but affects their direct title rivals a lot.

So in last 2 years, 3 apology worthy mistakes have given 2 titles to Man City, the same team that has not been punished for FFP in 15 longgg years. You hear a lot of praise for City and Guardiola from pundits and ex-players. But if Klopp points out issues about FFP and VAR, he is said to be moaning/crying/whinging and should move on. Interesting, and quite an absurd logic 🤔

[Einar Kvande @EinarKvande]

Howard Webb skulle liksom komme inn og få orden på VAR og dømmingen. Med fasit hånd kan vi si at det bare har gått fra vondt til verre. Hoder bør rulle, og Webbs hode bør rulle først og raskest….

[Brian Durand_LFC 20x @BrianDurand56]

Conveniently it goes against LFC once again.
The moral of the story is: never shout into a 4th official’s face

[Thor K. Løvenfalck @Lovenfalck]

Hva hjelper det? Legg ned hele driten. Nekter å tro at det finnes så mye inkompetanse. Da er det korrupsjon på et eller annet nivå.

🤬 Game is gone, it’s in the toilet 🚽

[Biggies Malls 2.0 @Biggies_MaIIs]

Already on a booking, falls over his own feet and asks the ref to book Jota. Asking for an opponent to be booked is supposedly an automatic yellow. Not in this instance though. The ref did as he was told and booked Jota. Same player then dives to get Jota a 2nd yellow. Corrupt.
